I mean this, a lot. There might be tweaks to be made for the functionality, especially for pets, but players should respect their aggro.

Sorry maybe i'm missing something , but I just don't get it. It should be working as intended to force everyone to stand on incoming , and then be completely unable to med throughout the fight ? There by dramatically increasing downtime , and making some classes less viable than they already were ?

I think I may have made a mistake.

Try putting your casters in the far corner, and letting tanks receive incoming mobs. Don't let mobs be pulled over sitting players. It is still relative to the aggro radius of the npc.

Casters are all up on the wall away from the pull, our war is afk but we can try some more stuff after to get creative. No mobs are running over anyone , everyone is by the zone line like 20-30ft away from the enemy.

I played classic , what this is, is vastly different.

Also , should sitting be generating more agro than mez ?

Green goblins aggro'ing on me while I'm medding in Ocean of Tears. Pet can't pull them off ever.

Sit aggro broken. Pet aggro broken.

I have noticed that your range to the mob does make a large difference to the amount of agro generated . If you pull the mob and tank it around 50ft away from you , it works better. Worthless for dungeon hunting , but helpful for those working on outdoor zones.

Yeah this is fucked for any pet caster. Some green shit add attacks me while my pet brings it down to 50%? Completly fucked.

Start inviting Rangers (non-Kunark!), SKs, and Paladins as tanks I guess. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Nilbog, this was posted in the other thread:

I do think the sit aggro is a tad overtuned. What's odd to me, is that, When I'm sat when the tank go pull, bring the mob back, the mob will beat on the tank for 2-3 sec, then run for me (at that point i have done nothing but being sat). As if sit aggro was calculated on server ticks, not just when doing the action of sitting, I don't recall that from the old days (could be faulty memory)

Should it be done on ticks?

My pet got a green add down to 27% and it was still attacking me.

Sit aggro such a joke.
