Miscellaneous Info[]

  • If Melia accumulates too much aggro, she can use this art to Bind enemies. Melia can subsequently move away from the enemies and allow the tank time to generate more area of effect aggro. This art generates some volatile aggro. A level 30 Melia generates 660 volatile aggro per enemy.
