Seriously just go away.
You want me to make bad inferences and supposition about how you play? - please start posting more on other topics so I can make up stories about you.

No.

And you're welcome to correct any erroneous supposition. I'm just working with what I'm given.

Aggro control is neither something that will soon be written off as you've suggested thus far (if they want to keep the game entertaining) or something to be trivialized by saying I'm attacking you personally. It's an attack upon this way of thinking, that aggro control should be easy so I can just do whatever I want, that is so prevelent. If you're taking that to heart, by all means, rebut.

This is the Lurker Lounge, the hardest of the hardcore forums for Diablo2 players, and yet so often the centric game mechanic of WoW, and all MMO's, aggro management, is looked down upon as a hassle.

Aggro management is what sets MMOs apart from other games by forcing you to use a group of people, large or small, to accomplish a goal. Tanks absorb the hits, healers keep the tanks alive, DPS classes put down the enemy.

MongoJerry 1 groups content and people are amazed. The general populace of WoW still considers 5 manning most of the "end game" instances impossible. Because they've been soloing and zerging #$%& for so long.

Warriors and paladins have "aggro problems". Sure. More like the rogues and mages need to learn to play their fricken classes. Suggest this publicly and you'll be shouted down. You're not there soloing a mob while someone gets hit, you're there working as a team. The tanks are sorry you're not satisfied by the kill.

The difference between killing kobolds and killing gods is how you approach the fight. If you go at it guns blazing, as a dps class, you're going to pull aggro and die. And in doing so, you've weakened the whole of the raid.

So, pacing yourself is boring? Reroll as a warrior, you'll get to play your ass off trying to hold aggro off your former fellows. Or as a priest, and test your skill against the tanking magi.

Again, this is nothing personal, Ghostiger, just a friendly rant against the unwashed hordes. But if one person reads this and realizes "jeeze, that guys a dick but he might just have some kind of point mixed in with all the garbage", I'll stand behind my words.

EDIT: If not, well I'll still stand there, but I might deny being Rinnhart or even knowing the name.
