Default EQLive Hate List Logic and Spell Hate Values
...
Disease and poison counters used to add hate, but don't any longer.
This is how SK disease cloud used to be a good aggro tool. Poison counter hate was removed in April 2005. Disease counter hate was apparently removed earlier, but I was unable to determine the date. For now I gave counters on TAKP hate until I can find evidence that the nerf was pre-december 2002.

That nerf did come before December 2002, but after the end of Velious by a little over 4 months. Below are accounts from players having just recently realized the change that was made.

Disease cloud changed?
Is it just me or did Disease Cloud taunt ability get nerfed? Shot 10 at a mob in UP and it still kept beating on the enchanter (he died, needless to say - went from full health to none while I tried to unload DC) ... and just now I can't even taunt off a shaman slow.
Was wondering if anyone ran into the same problem.

Yeah I noticed it tonight. Used to be able to pull a mob off someone from across the room with DC...

Yes, I noticed the exact same thing in UP last night. Was getting minimal taunt value from using DC, switched to clinging and SV, results were much better. Not happy if this is true.

Last night I almost got our rager killed in chardok. He was used to not having to jolt a whole lot and I was just chain casting DC for nothing.
Good thing I remembered there was a patch so I got SV out of the back of my spellbook.
I sent /feedback last night, I did today I will tomorrow until they fix it or come up with a better solution.
Shadow vortex doesn't aggro quite as well as disease cloud does!

Damn I was wondering why DC was not taunting as it used to. I was in HS and chain casting DC with little effect. THIS IS WAY MESSED UP. DC was FAST Low Mana and HUGE taunt, now it may look like we need to cast slower more mana eatting spells.

This is the patch Xanyia was referring to that inadvertently nerfed Disease Cloud...

** Spells **
- Casters of slow spells recently given a disease component (such as
Shiftless Deeds and Turgur's Insects) should no longer attract undue
attention to themselves.
