Part of this issue, specifically for rangers at least, is the wiki for gear. Prioritizing STR, Dual Wield, and DEX is great for soloing but in groups you’ll just pull a lot of threat off the tank (and waste the healer’s mana keeping the ranger alive).
Rangers stacking strength/dex will not be peeling off the tank with autoattacks unless they are doing something else like flame licking or casting early snares, or if the warrior has garbage weapons. In the first cast, the ranger just needs to wait longer before snaring (and to stop fucking casting flame lick in groups while not tanking).

If a difference in weapon quality is really causing the ranger to pull aggro, it is also solved by the ranger casting root and backing out to max melee range (or the tank getting their shit together and buying a decent weapon).
