Ability: Draw Fire

Overview

Draw Fire is an excellent ability for setting up on either yourself or a Bridge Officer for a tanking role. It won't hold agro forever, but it does provide a good method of crowd control. It's not great for PvP in that it won't force other players to automatically target the person using the ability, but it does place a fake expose icon over the player which will draw other players' attention.

Basic Information

• Profession: Tactical
• Locale: Ground
• Game Description: Draw Fire places you in a fake exposed state while increasing the threat generated by your actions, making enemies more likely to attack you. Also buffs the damage resistance of nearby allies for the duration. This ability is fragile, meaning it will cancel early if you take too much damage.
