The tank is responsible for holding aggro at the end of the day. If the DPS are getting smoked doing their job, which is dealing damage, thatÂ’s as much on the tank as it is the DPS. Framing the issue entirely around the DPS is unfair IMHO.

If the tank is constantly losing aggro, they need to consider upgrading their gear or rerolling to a knight class. Simple as that.

No, it’s not simple as that. A group is a team effort. There are times where killing something faster is of benefit and there is mana to heal squishies. Other times it’s not. If a rogue for example is pulling aggro and it’s becoming problematic they need to adjust. They can monitor evades succeeding and choosing to backstab or not, or start at 95% if they have better gear. The warrior can’t choose to have dice land for procs or not. Other people can help root the mob and prox aggro can be used. There is what is ideal and there is what can done in the moment.

It’s a group problem to fix. I agree with you there. It’s as easy for a rogue to figure our 3 buttons as it is for a warrior. Get good, learn to solo, or learn to pipe down. Regardless of your class.
