the question is, does sony intend this to be a niche use spell - which would justify the lack of use it's current design encourages
or does sony want this to be a regularly used part of the lineup - in which case it would need a redesign
brought up this thread in guild - paladin chat.
came up with a few things.
a) knockback
- there is a difference between aa/stun and contrition. a difference of 2 units.
- we had a suggestion of offering an upgrade to the aa/stun (knockback) in the form of additional units of knockback.
- regarding frequency of use of KNOCKBACK, we had varied responses, some did not use it at all, others used it every day. KNOCKBACK is useful.
b) akera
- akera's use was primarily a tag stun, and not a stun that was used to generate aggro. initiate, not generate. perhaps build would be a better word than generate.
- the aa-stun seems to be not generating as much aggro as akera ( it's listed as 100 less, but performing more like half or worse as effective, perhaps this needs testing / looking into, to see how AA-stun compares to Akera when tagging off a bard, stpauli's test )
- if the aa-stun was able to generate aggro *properly and in practice acted like an akera THEN the aa stun could be called the replacement.
