What everyone here seems to be looking past is that every dps class has a way to manage aggro. Monk pulls aggro off the warrior? FD. Rogue pulls aggro? Evade. Ranger pulls aggro? Why are you grouping with a ranger... but even they have root! [You must be logged in to view images.

It's not very complicated. It's as much the DPS's responsibility to mitigate aggro as it is for you to build aggro. Try high level groups where people know how to play a little better. Emphasis on a little. Talk to the people, tell the monk in your group who has a T-Staff to FD after procs. Tell the rogue to evade after a few backstabs. They should already know this, but if they don't, they're gonna have to learn sometime.

In the teens, twenties, thirties, chances are these players that are consistantly pulling aggro from warriors are twinks. If your warrior is as geared as your groups, you shouldn't have any trouble.

And to all these people saying SK over warrior any day. Warriors bring a +10% exp bonus to a group, SKs and Paladins bring a -40% exp penalty to a group. SKs and Paladins have their place in groups, but in my opinion, it's after you've asked the good warriors if they're interested first. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
