Â…so unless you have tested it using identical setups on 60 warriors to a high hp mob its just as much "gut" feeling as me telling you in my experience tanking it does seem to have an impact on threat generation. it is entirely possible it is not the case, but i have seen to many "unexplainable" flips of mobs on things that we "KNOW" shouldnt matter... like ive seen a melee using 2h primal pull agro from a tank using 2 high white damage threat ratio weapons (with agro procs) immediately after the melee procd avatar (which is assumed to be virtually no threat generation at all).
Generally the person with the challenging theory has to prove it over the established belief. That’s how science works.

For sake of argument though 35% is a lot of threat to drop and not notice. People use discs all the time when grinding, I did with my warrior. If you have jboots fade that’s also 35% and it’s quite noticeable. Or just unequip your offhand to see about much a 35% drop in threat is.

Also full tilt rogues are creating as much threat as a warrior before backstab. Procs and evade are barely keeping them alive. Procs and evades are consistent. Disc fades on a tank towards the end and the mob can still flip easily. With more aggro I’m not sure why at that point it would happen.

Really, I don’t care. You don’t have to convince me. I just don’t buy it.
