Hybrids are bad on green

This thread has yielded some interesting information concerning Warriors and holding aggro.

My friend and I have been playing very casually (we can only manage to log on a few times a week for a few hours) on P99 since May. We usually duo, but occasionally form teams. I’ve been playing a Druid and he a Warrior; we at around level 19.

Recently, and on more than one occasion, he has expressed concern that he’s been playing his warrior poorly because he often has trouble keeping aggro. He’s good about using taunt, kick and shield bash every time they are up; he is not a lazy or “AFK-ish” player.

I think he will be relieved to know that his experience with Warrior is common. That the issue is with the class, not the player.

That said, can I help him out by laying down “Grasping Roots” after my DoT, then pull away from melee range for a moment so he can re-establish aggro?

Taunt shouldn't be used every time its up, its for when you don't have aggro, if the mob turns to another player then you use taunt for a chance to grab it back. Taunt won't work on mobs higher level than the player so if you are fighting yellows/reds then there's no need to use it.

You can force aggro on him with root, yes. A rooted mob will attack whichever player is physically closest to him, multiple players can be in melee range and the rooted mob will attack the tank if he is closest to the mob.
