How is it working after ticks?
Before the patch I would cast it twice on a mob then calling for assists, then I would spam it, taunt, and bash until mob was dead and it worked ok. I would still sometimes momentarily lose aggro, but for the most part it was good.

Now it doesn't hold aggro at all. I can spam it. taunt, and bash all day and nothing.

Using the higher level spells works better, like Heat Blood etc, but still doesn't seem to hold aggro as well as it should. The tics do help, but it takes awhile, and by then its been beating on all the dps.

As for the presnap aggro, I never thought it was too much, It seemed about right to me. I could use it to pull off a cleric who healed me, but it was tough to pull off a chanter whos charmed pet dropped with it or someone who stacked dots too early.

I could be wrong though, maybe it wasn't as good during the classic/kunark era. Though I do remember SKs being able to hold aggro much better, and it just doesn't seem like post patch that I am anywhere near as effective. Then again we all remember the good things and forget the bad so who knows.
