Body aggro is not FTE?

[t0lkien]

If damage is the only indication of FTE, then a Bard/Enchanter only ever has "FTE" aggro on their pet when kiting and not the mob/s the pet is damaging. The other mobs are aggroed and damaged, but the player isn't credited with the damage by the aggro system. If you want to test this, sit down next to the mob/s when the pet has broken charm.... the non-pets will aggro you and not the Bard. The same holds true for all pet classes until they actually nuke the mob directly.

Also, what about root/snare? Do these not comprise aggro?

For me it's simple, if a mob is running at all, it's aggroed and so someone else has FTE and I leave it alone. If it's beating on either the player or their pet, it's aggroed. If it's rooted, it's aggroed. Heck, if there is a player in view running toward it, I go elsewhere. It takes a strange sort of entitlement to think otherwise IMO.
