Does delay/attack speed affect aggro retention?

Doesn't even have to be the afk dude. Ranger tanking in vanilla is decent until the end, but in LGuk & SolB best use of Ranger mana is rooting mob on the warrior to make the rogue do more dps and the cleric not be going oom all the time. Any root is a warrior's bestest friend.

Exactly...which is why the question in this thread (about using a 2h silvery axe vs. Bladed Thulian Claws/Cold Steel Morning star) is moot. The end game discussion is totally removed from the practical question from the OP.

Both of those setups will fail consistently in a mediocre vanilla group. You'd be incomparably better off just asking (politely/diplomatically) for someone to root the mobs.
