Is insight (threat bonus) working with handwraps?

[Anthios888]

I heard that insight threat bonus (i.e. claw set, dragontouched, brawns spirits, etc.) does not function properly with handwraps. A few searches have not been able to confirm this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Anyone know?

I've made a pair but havn't gotten around to checking it just yet.

But then again, i don't know if crafted work better or worse LOL

I know some people tank with monks (ie Metaru clones or some other non-standard builds), so I'm highly thinking incite bonuses do work with wraps. Monks don't have THAT high of hate/dps that they could easily tank without it.

It depends who's hitting your target too. I know I can pull aggro from a lot of tanks if I'm not carefull, even without threat items, and I've tanked a VoD on a dark monk (dex/wis) and I kept the aggro the whole time.

True tanks with several slots dedicated to DPS AND Threat, no I can't steal it from them.. Otherwise, I often have to manage my aggro.

i ground out an incite * 3 docent on Munkenmo back when i first bought the reavers pack. Then like now it is the difference between me being able to reliably hold agro or lose it to the higher dps builds in groups.

I can't provide any numbers to prove it, but equipping said docent is enough for me to pull agro quickly when a situation requires it or to hold it in the first place if i'm selected as a tank.

Thanks for the info, even if it's just instinct. We're going ahead with the build anyway, because it should be able to hold aggro without Gloves of the Claw, but I like to be totally informed with DPS calcs etc. to know how much aggro generation is needed to safely tank dangerous dudes.

as far as holding agro goes, wearing that incite docent with w/f threat turned on only the following pulled agro from me. (pure light monk btw)

pally against eo's with divine right (just cause cryol likes to **** me around)
horc / w/f blitz/barb/pure fighters wearing full incite set + turning on racial hate.

i've never lost agro to someone simply wearing the claw set

as for arcanes / divines with dots i told them to stack up as soon as i got a boss in position, i don't recall ever losing agro to them either.

With the changes to fort I've got to admit I'm looking forward to capping again as i imagine relatively my threat / dps will be noticeably improved compared to other melee.

Not sure what your build will be but I'll keep my eye out as you've piqued my curiosity
