Keeping aggro

[Noone]

<p>So I have never had a problem with this until recently. Up throug EoF i have intance and raid tanked, have always kept aggro just fine, no matter what class it was. Before RoK i took probably a 2-3 month break from the game, just recently came back. Now getting to the point, i can't keep aggro off of bruiser's/monks. Can keep it off of wizards and other casters most of the time, occasionally lose to scouts. Is the fact that I'm wearing mostly legendary gear and the people I'm playing with are fabled out having anything to do with it? I have all adept 3 and some master of my taunts and hold aggression. Just curious why previous EoF I could keep aggro 99% of the time, and now I'm lucky if I can keep it 30% of the time.</p><p>as a basic run down, most of my gear is atleast +4 parry and +4 def on each piece, and some with an extra shield block chance. Am buckler spec so i have the dps. Also i typically spam my taunts and CA's, because i seem to get more dps just spamming them in certain orders and I was under the impression that dps raised hate level. If anyone has any suggestions on keeping aggro, would love to hear them, cause i don't feel comfortable accepting groups where i'm not going to be taking the hits. Thanks.</p>

<p>You may have left before Dev Fist was upgraded. It seems to do more damage now. If I ever lose aggro to a brawler in a group, it's usually when they pop Dev Fist.</p><p>But, the standard question is: Are you putting your Dehate buff on the brawler?</p>

if there's not a big time caster in the group i do, otherwise i typically put it on the caster cause they have a better chance of dying.

The short answer is to upgrade your dps. There's all kinds of variables of course... AAs, gear, CA/Buff quality, how you play etc.
