I'm starting to HATE NOOB BEARS PLAYERS!!!!!

**Junside** · 01-18-2011, 07:32 PM

I am completely fine with people who can control their bears. And I know people who do. But bear players who think they're the center of the team, I now hate with a passion. I am booting reckless bears from now on.

Taking all the orbs against Gurgox, stomping the boss out of the room where it takes nearly a minute for him to come back in.

They don't even aggro

Pure meatheads.

Don't be hatin' on noobs. Eventually they learn. Also, you were a noob once too.

**Junside** · 01-18-2011, 07:35 PM

I'm talking about level 50 bear players doing this.

And no, I always try to play smart. When the boss is inching near the doorway where their health might possibly reset, I circle around and use a repulse shot to knock him back into the room.

There is nothing I can do to be more aggravating than the actions listed above by bears.

Actually I seemed to skip that whole stage. You know... how some babies are born with certain.. lower uh.. gifts?

A lot of bears don't understand how to tank. They don't control the crowd, always using stomp in unessecary situations. And worst of all, they never, NEVER use Taunt.

+1... some don't even tank at all, they follow (just in case the can rev the group I guess ;-) and give a few sword hits at the end of the fight. That's why I make a good bear, to be in front line!!!

you mean beckon? Taunt is their first buff they get.

Beckon = pretty useless on bosses. Thats why most tanks don't use it. A proper tank NEEDS beckon in Elite now though.

I mean Taunt. Taunt helps bear gain and keep aggro. Most bears don't use, which in turn means they never get aggro and mobs/bosses gain up on another player.

Beckon is useful on bosses if its done right. It helps pull bosses to corners/walls so they can be killed faster and not just bounce around the map and have everyone chase them.

Taunt = 12 second buff +6 dodge. Hows that help hold aggro?

Beckon = 50% chance of stun and pulls opponent towards you. Problem is it works like 1 out of every 10 tries on a boss.

Taunt is more then just +6 dodge (that is what evade is for) Taunt gains the aggro of enemies within the area, changing it to the bear. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but most of the time when I use it, it changes the aggro from the other party member onto me. Doesn't last forever, but by the time the skill cools down and I use it again it will change/keep the aggro onto me.

And in my experience beckon works a lot more often than 1/10 on bosses. I'd say more like 8/10. Or atleast around there.

**Zeus** · 01-18-2011, 08:13 PM

Well not all bear's are like that

. I make sure and at the end of each boss, I will ask my team when I'm playing my bear, "Did you get any aggro, and if they say yes, I start paying more attention to my taunt and using it even more". I will tank even better for you if you spam heal me as well. I once did an elite dungeon map with the entire team only using about 20 health pots each....

**Lesrider** · 01-18-2011, 08:17 PM

Lol I don't play my bear anymore bc I get so frustrated at how little damage I deal compared to my Mage. I end up spam stomping just to feel like I'm actually dealing some damage.
I only liked playing my bear back in the days when mages were frail and could barely survive ao3.

Muchos osos son puros mensos q no saben como pelear en pocket legends que pena!

Yeah taunt is something that will almost always work as long as you use it everytime it cools down. Beckon definitely works on bosses, like the witch in the shadow caves...if you have a bear to stun her with beckon/stomp she is much easier. It's also great to pack the enemies together so other classes can use combos on them, like nature strike.

Stomp I realize can be annoying for other party members. That's why I only have one point in it, so I can stun enemies without spreading them across the room.

It does? Newbie bear here

.

My experiences with the bear in dungeons is beckon hardly works on boss, because whenever I cast it. Someone fire blasts or blast shots the boss and beckon effect becomes usless.
