Question about Zerker Aggro

[Ahlana]

<p>I know nothing about zerkers. But we have aquired two in our guild as of recent and they are providing a "DPS" role in the group.</p><p>We are a family/casual guild so two zerkers while not the optimal group setup, does give us more dps than the 3 or 4 people we usually do DoV dungeons with lol.</p><p>But I have run into a problem as a tank, and that is even with better gear and spells and going defensive while still doing 2-3x more DPS than either zerker, somehow I keep losing aggro to them. I have checked their buffs and there was one I asked them to remove but while that did help some, I still seem to lose it to them from time to time.</p><p>Parser shows me with the most amount of threat going out and I am not losing aggro to the Brig that does 4x more damage than them and twice as much as me... so what gives?</p><p>Is there another buff they have that I need to have them take off? Am I doomed to losing aggro to zerkers? Is the sky blue?</p>

<p>make sure they're not being idiotic and using snaps like sneering assault or cry of the warrior which have damage components associated with them solely for that additional damage.</p><p>plenty of mobs also have memwipes, which is better to wipe onto another tank than a dead DPS so..</p><p>but i suspect they're being dumb and hitting insolence, SA or CotW. which will instantly yank aggro but only for a second or 2, insolence is our only decent snap, even SA's force target does not seem to actually work for us over other tank aggro tools. i have tested it in PQs and it only holds aggro for about 1 second then peels off again to another tank(don't get me started on the amount of broken tools in this game).</p>

Having them take off a buff Aggressive Defense (or something like that) seemed to help.</p><p>These aren't memwipe mobs though. But I will definently check for the snaps.</p>

<p>also check to see if they have any scouts dumping hate on them, or a dirge buffing them up as a tank(hate buffs).</p>
