There is at the moment kind of many Hatred threads up and in everyone of them people wonder how Hatred works. So I decided to make one too! I found my self wondering (once again) how Hatred will work. Only thing that has been announced is the fact that you will get Hatred when you are hit, so this will give enemy an huge advancement by just ignoring A Black Guard.

How then Black Guard would make a viable RvR tank if you are just ignored and your allies are killed? I got this idea that instead of modifying Hatred more like for example Grudge, we could have an ability to avoid situations were we are just ignored. I was thinking something like passive enrage. Basically, first, dev's would give a standard"Hate regen" like "You get 3 hate every 5sec" regen, to make us bit less depending of being hit. Second, about that "passive enrage". I was thinking something like we get every 10sec 5% dmg boost and every 20sec "1 Hate every 5sec" regen but this would work only in combat and only if we have not been hit at least once in 10secs. So if enemy chooses to ignore me, lest say for 4 minutes, I'll do 120% more dmg and I'll get 15 hate every 5 sec. And I think that it would be a situation where my enemy wouldn't like to be 8). Of course if they ignore me just 40secs and start hit me then. It won't reset my grown dmg and bigger Hate regen back to zero but I'll have those buff which I was given during that 40secs, meaning that I'd have 20% more dmg and 2 more "Hatred per sec" regen.

Any ideas would this work or would this be too overpowering. Discuss

Ps. Sorry if I have bad English :)

Yes I guess some of these actions WILL actually be available.
But they are merely secondary installments for improving your Modus Operandi
like tauntings that go:" Don´t attack me and you do 50% less damage" and stuff like that
I don´t see any reason to cry. Tanks can build shield walls so you WILL have to hit them to get past them. Classes that need protection just stay within range of the BG like"Ok bully here´s my older brother" and then avoiding Hatred will be like "Ow stop that, no I won´t react to your constant hitting of my spine with your halberd"


The major problems are RDPS who can do massive damgage and care less about the BG´s Hatred because he has to catch them first.

i think there is a simple way around this:

The taunts mean that if you dont attack the blackgaurd your doing alot less damage

Unless the blackgaurd is totaly nerfed jhe will be doing to much damage for you to ignore [color=red](NO I DID NOT SAY AS MUCH AS A DPS CLASS)[/colour] as he could just walk up to the squishys and kill them all off. If they do attack him before he gets to them then job done he gets hate and takes the attenchen.
