Succubus - Soothing Kiss

[bonemage]

No, it's not playstyle.  My voidwalker simply doesn't work.  If I put all three DoTs on a mob, I will pull aggro by the time all the damage "gets rolling."  I don't even have to drain life or cast shadowbolt or do anything else.  My voidwalker has the highest rank Torment available to him, but he simply can't hold aggro over my three DoTs.

I have no idea what the deal is.  The only way I can work with him is if I let him land two successful Torments before casting more than one or two (depending on the combination used) DoTs.

Hmmm... Well, the only thing I can figure is if you have improved curse of agony. That might just tip you over the top and grab aggro. I've been doing immolate/CoA/corruption since I had them and setting them off as quickly as I can cast them, and the last two are instant cast. The voidwalker casts first torment prior to 3rd DoT being applied, but usually just after immolate and before CoA. We're a well oiled machine, he and I. If I get all three DoTs on before he engages, I stand a good chance of keeping aggro. That, or, I've been smoking some purple lotus and my memory is serving me wrong. This may be more purple lotus speaking, but I also think that humanoids are more intelligent and seem to break aggro easier than beasts and seem to come for me more often. The level of the mob compared to yours makes a big difference as well. Equal and higher level mobs have a much greater chance of breaking aggro, and I usually wait for the 2nd torment to hit before using corruption on higher levels, and wait for 3rd torment before wanding. It's likely that, the difference in levels, I usually have a few on where I'm at (I've spent a long time dragging my feet due to slower progressing party members), and you're probably taking on areas at lower levels than I have been. (Read: I'm NOT normal.)
