Toughness aggro is good because the person who cares about collapsing the berserker meta or whatever can wear their special gear and do something productive while I continue to make poo poo explode as God intended.

Totbot posted:Tanking will never make sense in a flavor sense. Ever. Unless the enemies you are fighting are dumb, there is never a good reason why they shouldn't figure out that it would be better to ignore the guy in armor in favor of smashing the guys in robes to the ground. This was gw1's aggro system; enemies would generally stick to whatever they aggro'd on to, but would prioritize lower health/armor characters and characters with "caster" weapons. Even more so in hard mode. Generic Octopus fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Oct 6, 2015 |

I made a full settler set/trooper runes trying shoutbow in pve. I did a factual and it felt good not being a glass cannon and I was able to keep the group alive nicely. I cant wait to add the zerker tree and not needing the bow anymore to do fire field/fire shield.

The thing that irks me the most is how consistently across different games, warriors are super mind control wizards who can seduce anything to pay attention to them no matter what. They're usually also the grounded non-magical brute force everything archetype so it's weird how everyone is somehow okay with this for so long.

Even if Anet did say it's not based off of toughness I would like to direct your attention to Exhibit A: the pvp matchmaking system.

The real aggro system is whoever has the best fashion sense nearby. Or whoever offends the enemy most with their fashion sense. Depends on the encounter.

aggro should be determined based on how many shield skins you own

Fear not fellow raiders just use https://github.com/jaxnX/DmgMeter/ if you want to be 100% legit. OCR from the combat log. Also https://samhurne.github.io/gw2pao/ if you need world boss timers. Can't wait to run 10 plugins/mods for raiding. Rip

Seems like it would be nice to know how the aggro mechanics work if positioning bosses is going to be a thing in the raid. From what little I've seen of current dungeons, trying to get the boss to go to a specific spot is kind of a clusterfuck.

This, plus if they limited an account's chance to get legendary armor mats/precursors/whatever to the raid reset. Didn't win the roll? Guess you can try again next week!
