how does it work in a group setting? can any ability get aggro?or are there specific aggro abilities? basically what im asking is how does the enemies determine priority for their aggro?

    There are 2 taunts in the game that draw aggro:
    • Puncture and its morphs from the One-Hand & Shield skill line (available from skill level 2)
    • Inner Fire and its morphs from the Undaunted skill line (available from skill level 3)

    Without one of those 2 skills, you're really not a tank. You can draw aggro by doing damage and such, but the taunts are the only way to ensure that you're the one drawing the aggro rather than anyone else in your group.

    I just really hope guys figure out there roles. I just did a couple of dungeons with a guy saying he was a tank so I asked do you have any taunts he said no...then your not a tank. If you can't grab aggro then you are not a tank. Like asking a healer do you have any healing abilities..no. Then what makes you think your a healer

    Its funny how many people solo the game until vet ranks and still don't know the game at all

    (1) Meet a tank who thought Taunts where AOE and wondered why the healer was dieing
    (2) DPS who used a shield and used Puncture and hassled the tank (they had no idea it was a taunt)
    (3) Healer who was stamina build

    And I have meet 7 light armor 2 hand sword tanks who have kicked ass!
