Threat Question

[Fersinda_the_squishy]

I returned to the game about a month ago, after leaving shortly after Rise of Isengard. I was looking at upgrading my instruments and was thinking of the issue of threat generation. When I played before there was a listing on the Theorobo about generating less threat. On the Wiki I see a stat about threat reduction listed on several variations of the instruments. When I look at the same loaded recipes on my Woodworker (Tier 7 instruments) I do not see this stat listed. Has this been taken out of the game before I returned, or is just an unlisted/hidden stat?

Threat is quite an obsolete mechanic of the game due to the way forced taunts of tanks have been changed to always copy highest threat and even add multiplier on top.

This. Threat used to be tied to an actual "threat" stat. You would have to build your threat level up (despite not actually seeing where this magical threat level was sitting) and maintain it. It actually took some skill to do... especially if you were in a situation where you had to tank-swap. It seems now though tanks are left with forced taunts or DPS. Gaining threat by obtaining the highest DPS in a group.
