it just makes the monster not aggressive.

theres no restriction, you can cast it with a harp and switch back to a staff or whatever.

i hope im right, im not a bard but thats what it looks like to me.

well i used it on me and on friends...but the mob still attacks....

i tried using it before an agresive mob attack me [still attacked (and he was in spell range)
And after mob attack....was still attacking...

haven`t tried it on to passive mobs..only agresive ones [kokoru] :banghead:

maybe if the kokuru is attacking your friend, and you use that spell on the monster, it will attack someone else?

or it could be your friend attacking the mob again, making the mob aggro toward himself all over.

Yea discord wave kinda confuzzles the enemy and reduces their aggro. Aggro is basically agression. However, if you've made the mob angry enough, they'll still attack you. Plus discord wave at that level only seems to affect most of the lower level mobs. If you were training on high level mobs I doubt it would work. Basically it keeps lower level members of your party safe from harm and stops annoying mobs who aren't much of a threat from attacking you.

Hope that kinda cleared things up for ya :)

yea aggro 2,400 reduce from that skill...

if a warrior does a skill on that monster, thats basically like 3,000 aggro depending on the level of the skill, which completely negates that discord wave.

stupid point, i know , but whatev im bored lol.

@Fudge "and you use that spell on the monster"

You can`t use it on mobs..only on players....and than the spell afects every mob in the range :D

The skill is for use on yourself or other players. It won't work if you cast it before a mob gets aggressive.

It functions as a counterpart to the warrior skill Taunt. While taunt builds up aggression towards a player, just as if he had damaged the taunted mob(s), Discord Wave takes away that aggression by the displayed amount (in the screenshot 2464).

So in a party you might see your healer getting swarmed, while a rogue desperately tries to get the mobs off him, you select the healer and cast Discord Wave so the aggression towards him gets reduced to a point where the aggression the rogue has built up is higher.

What I haven't tried is what happens if you are alone (and without Noise), get attacked and cast it on something that is aggressive in the first place.

Maybe because they are aggressive from the get-go and don't have anyone else to shred to pieces. If you can take some damage, try to attack one once with your normal attack, lead him to another (preferably unsuspecting) player and then cast Discord Wave.

It is an agro reducer. Ive had situations where I was soloing and the mob didnt even have something else to attack but left me alone when I self casted. It's very handy if you see your rogue/wizard zerking during a fight to drop one on them, saves your cleric from hacing to panic heal in the case the rogue/wiz gets bumrushed.

Let`s see if i understand well..

It dosen`t remove the aggro if one monster is attacking you, only if two or more.... righty ? :D
