Tash aggro is not low on beta. My SK taunted this scarab on beta to aggro it, then stood facing away from it so I didn't riposte at all while I ran my chanter over there too. Then Tecmos hit it with tashanian and it took DC, SV, DC to pull it back onto my SK:

My thought was that it was more likely this was an initial aggro cap thing. It was my understanding that initial aggro is supposed to be capped to a relatively low amount of hate, regardless of how how the mob is initially aggrod. Edit - err, I just tested initial aggro also (albeit on a mob in nro instead of on a high-level named in velks) and DC pulled off of my chanter immediately after my chanter tashed to pull.
So it seems like either there are special hate rules in place in certain zones/for certain mobs or something, or that charmed pets aren't generating enough threat, I guess? Sorry if I'm not being too helpful figuring out what it is! Just noticed this was something much different than what happens on blue so wanted to check if it was intended or a bug.
