What is this Kai 95% aggro nonesense?

[Vendon]

Hello. Am I the only one who has this problem? I am playing as Kai and 95% of the time I have the aggro. No matter what my team mates tries the bosses are focusing only me. They keep chasing me and my team is chasing the boss and this every dang dungeon. How to fix that?

[crackmonk]

you're playing a ranged character is my guess, as for a fix? don't play the easy mode character known as kai.

[Vendon]

Yes Kai is a ranged charakter. It is just omega annoying that you rlly 95% of the time have the dang boss aggro and it just keeps ignoring the whole team and chases me only.

I've also noticed Kais in my party getting aggroed at a seemingly higher rate than normal. it's probably done on purpose so you can't just idly sit there and deal dps all game.

That's also the reason why my damage is mostly 0 because I am 90% of the battle busy running and avoiding from the boss >.,<

[crackmonk]

are you on the NA server? or EU. if you're on NA i can help you ingame if you'd like.

[Vendon]

I am on the EU Server. Max lvl with Kai but most of the time on running to avoid the boss hits lol

Happens with Evie also... if perhaps not as viciously. That is, if one can even call her magic's piddling range, "ranged"... It seems to correlate to some ham-fisted "balancing" NexCON implemented, to ensure the ranged chars. cannot just stand there and attrite bosses to death, while melee-ers distract them.

Although I do get the theory (for example: a guarding Fiona + 100% agro + rangers spamming from all direction, would make most boss battles Wiisy mode), it's done in a very ill-thought-out way. In the case of Evie, her losing here physical mana ember (which allowed her to get knocked away to safety when crowded by attacks), becoming the agro bunny is all but character-breaking problem for her (when it happens). This also makes playing solo with said char, a chore, as it's a literal, non-stop run-athon, from go to woe... v_v
