So im MT in chelsith last night and we had another pally in the group with us (a guildie) and she kept pulling aggro. When I normally run groups I amends the highest parser and use my taunts like a mad man in this case the wizzy. I dont generally have aggro issues that switching amends doesnt fix. I have 4 or 5 pieces of gear with hate gain procs of some sort but couldnt hold aggro. we checked her gear (no hate gain) and mostly MC stuff. She swears she wasnt taunting, and wasnt using amends she is dps/heal speced. She was doing slightly better dps than me but not enough to over aggro from it and hardly ever healing. Is there a bug or something that would be causing this to happen? is this a common problem with 2 pallys in a group? Tested it with amends on her and would occasionally still pull aggro. I know she wasnt out DPSing the wizzy or the necro so why the problem? Its driving be bonkers.

<p>So, was she physically closer to the mob than you? While distance to the mob doesn't matter for agro generation, it does matter on how the mob reacts to agro. If she was significantly closer (i.e. standing on the mob while your at max melee distance) then she might occasionally pull agro even though she has less than you. </p><p>A second possibility is that the mob hit her when it turned to chase someone else in the group. If your just barely ahead in agro than someone behind the other paladin, it turns to chase them and hits the nearest target along the way (the other paladin). You regain top agro and it turns back, thus it never reaches its intended target. This isn't likely, but its possible.</p>

If she has STR line hate increase, that cannot be turned off.We tend to generate a lot of agro, even when we don't want to.  I find amending the second paladin is often helpful.  (But not if she is going to offtank any adds.  That doesn't apply here.)  Perhaps she could amend the wizard, and you amend her.
