This spell (instant-cast, 4-second cooldown) increases the chances that the enemy will attack another target besides the Succubus that can help keep aggro off her. Similar to the Priest's [Fade] ability. Very useful in groups with a tank where the Succubus can sometimes out-aggro the tanks. It's a mana-hog, so don't be surprised if you see your Succubus run out of mana a lot using Soothing Kiss. The threat level reduction increases with rank. Rank 1 has a 5-yard range, but every higher rank has a 10-yard range.
Soothing Kiss can be set on auto-cast. The AI will simply casts it on the Succubus's current target at every opportunity. This may not be tactically beneficial as player may wish to let the succubus tank in certain situations.
Rank | Level | Mana | Description | Cost | Base Threat |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 22 | 30 | Reduces the Succubus's threat level on the target. | 25 | -45 |
2 | 34 | 50 | Reduces the Succubus's threat level on the target. | 80 | -75 |
3 | 46 | 75 | Reduces the Succubus's threat level on the target. | Template:Gs | -127 |
4 | 58 | 100 | Reduces the Succubus's threat level on the target. | Template:Gs | -165 |
5 | 70 | 140 | Soothes the target, increasing the chance that it will attack something else and decreases melee attack speed by 10% for 10 sec. | -275 |
- Some newbie Warlocks may think that this is a taunt to gain aggro from mobs. It is quite the opposite. It is an ANTI-TAUNT. It lowers the aggro on the Succubus so it will attack another target. If you are soloing PVE and use Soothing Kiss, you will be his next target, when SK hits. Leave it off auto-cast when soloing and only use it when she is about to be killed.
