Lowbie warrior can't hold aggro?

[Naethyn]

Oh and make sure the warrior is working on his archery. Archery is huge for initial aggro.

Make sure the cleric does something to get a small amount of aggro on each mob.

I've read doing so will allow the rogue to drop to a lower level of aggro with evade (instead of just dropping a small amount below the warrior)...

I dunno if it's really true or not!

Note aggro from swings is based more on what damage you could have caused, not the damage you actually cause. In other words a miss does as much hate as a max damage crippling blow!

this is so true. i see a lot of warriors never using archery. but we have really good range, and you can pack a punch with a couple of shots, giving your dps a breath of safety before you get a proc.

What would be a good bow to get? I probably only have 300 to spare after his weapons.

Spectral bow rots often in traks and has dex. I do fleching and made my own bows before then. Runed oak bow is droppable from south karana, but I didn't see it for sale before I got my spectral.

1 question for the rog.

Does the rog use max melee distance when attacking?
If not. try that, ( I expect you will get a much better over-all result).

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that spamming Taunt is not the best use of it. What Taunt actually does (when it works) is put you 1 aggro point above the highest person on the aggro list. So, if the mob is attacking the warrior, there is no need to taunt and it is best to save it. Then, when the rogue gets aggro and fails evade, the warrior can hit taunt and hope it works.

Plus, to put it on easy mode, if the cleric merely roots the mob, and the warrior gets close to it, the mob will always attack the warrior (unless the rogue gets even closer). So, the melees should get used to watching for the green blob spell particles of Root, and when you see the message that the mob is rooted, the warrior should get close and the rogue should back up a bit.

Warrior spams taunt (When the aggro is not pointed at him, which is always)

If you're daring, go get a spectral bow from TT. If you want a hand, I can make you a decent bow.

i dont know what level you guys are or how much plat you have but grabbing the warrior a pair of http://wiki.project1999.com/Obsidian_Shard would help his aggro alot. they go for about 50pp per.

Best advice so far. These proc at low lvl and can be all the difference. Get +dex items when you can to increase efficiency.
