Is the tank happy with me using Death and Decay?

...It's not much different than having over-geared, over-eager, AoE happy dps pulling aggro off you.

The difference is, I care more when one of the ghouls dies.

Yeah, poor little ghouls.

I feel that AotD can be very helpful when used intelligently, sadly it's not always used that way. But a good tank should be able to maintain control once AotD is gone and not have to worry about it for the remainder of the run.

Yeah I love using AotD and having others use it when I take in several instances. Other times I want to punt the stupid DK
When AotD is used on a 'safe' boss I just taunt after 10 seconds or so, then wait for them to all die.

One example of aotd being great is after the second boss in HoL for the final wave of statues that come to life, DK tanking I summon AotD in the corner, drop DnD in the corner as well, then just run forward to proc the statues. Turns an annoying chaotic 'run around and gather adds and hope DPsers don't target a different one each to get pwned' to a 'lol afk while army does all the work'.

Did a DK just cast Raise Dead on this thread? o_O

Nice on the second boss, too. His statues dump their threat every couple seconds so despite
all efforts to taunt/stun them they end up inflicting their (laughable) damage on casters...
last night a DK dropped Army there and the statues got nicely embroiled in it. I took a moment
in the middle of the fight to /cheer /praise the DK.

Huh, I'm actually surprised anyone pays attention to them, even when I first went to HoL over a year ago now I never did. Just tank'n'spanked'n'nuked boss, looted and walked on.
