I tend to agree here, I specifically remember Tash and mez spells generating a ton of agro, and maybe it was because i didn't do a lot of DOTing mobs as a chanter back on live, but choke just seems to be stupid agro. I always remember slows being a pretty heavy agro builder, but on p99 I can pull with slow and the mob can be off of me after two hits of a pet, doesn't matter if taunt goes off or not. But god forbid I cast a dot that ticks for 12 damage (yes I know it debuffs too) because the mob suddenly thinks I'm the anti-christ and wants to rape my ass. Even if I body pull a mob and my pet jumps on it immediatly, I can do nothing to the mob until my pet has it to 50%, choke the mob and i have to tank the rest of the fight, since its a guarantee that if I see "soandso hits you for 1 point of damage" I will be interrupted.
I duo with my brothers necro though, so to be honest it's really not that big of a deal since I almost always root mobs so i can take a hit and get my pet on it anyway.
