Hello, Im a shadow knight and am wondering how much aggro our spells/vamp embrace generate. i know disease cloud causes the highest amount but its unclear to me which is next in line. Is spamming disease cloud the best way to hold aggro? it seems like pulling mobs off enchanters is the most difficult. any help is appreciated
Enchanters generate a lot of aggro with their spells. Particularly if they are mesmerizing mobs. Inexperienced players (that is inexperienced in working with an enchanter) will not taunt the mesmerized mobs a few times before waking them. If you just whack a mob that is mez'd, it will run straight to the enchanter to spank him/her around a few times.
Ideally, cast your high aggro spells and then wake the mob.
Another BIG newbie mistake is to cast DOT's on mobs when an enchanter is in the group or to use AOE spells. This will wake the mobs who are mesmerized and will run right to the enchanter. If the enchanter tries to mez the mobs again, the DOT will pulse and wake the mob who will REALLY be angry with the enchanter. Only use DOT's on the actively targeted mob and do not use AOE's.
