Is warrior aggro greatly exaggerated?

[Lampolo]

I never said your don't play eq. I said you don't trio much cause its obvious

[Lampolo]

Can u at least admit that most of the xp for your 9 lvl 60's was obtained soloing and you have very little xp farming or lvling in trios?

[Lampolo]

I've had a lot of 60s as well. Most of their xp had in trios and duos. I've had 250kpp nights with the strats I've illustrated in this thread. Can you say the same? This is kinda sad from a RL perspective but I'm a bit of a specialist in the trio department and I can tell for sure your not

I don't think you understand how a enc/enc/cleric trio really works,but thats okay.
You crawl around. If you dont crawl around in that trio you run out of mobs because the kill rate is obscene.
I have a leveled both an enc and a cleric this way,obviously not the only way but its fun and very fast xp.
Good for clearing easy zones like sebilis and velks as well.

I also feel the argument that enc can’t pull because it has too much to do falls apart for e e c groups as the second enc and cleric can pick up the slack of the pulling enc while it does it’s thing.

If the warrior doesn't have good gear - their burst damage potential will be low. Low burst damage potential = low aggro.

Here's something that p99 players don't do that players in 99-2001 did do.

Wait before you debuff, start backstabbing, etc.

As a rogue main on Live from 2000-2002, that was the marching order. Wait for the tank to build aggro through white damage (typically wait until mob is 95-98% HP) before you start auto attacking. It was standard procedure in groups.

Same goes with debuffs. If you cast a slow while the mob is at 99% HP, you're going to pull more threat than the warrior can make up for in a short time.

Having played a warrior recently in groups, going from 1-50 - I have never had a problem with aggro. Granted, I'm using a Swiftblade of Zek in mainhand - but it's enough white damage to generate enough to out-threat the shaman.
