This Thing You Call Aggro.

[Treesh]

How so? If folks don't make an effort to control their aggro its my fault as the tank? I can only do so much with revenge, sunder, demo shout and taunt when a DPS'er keeps trumping that with damage.

What she's saying is that if the healer has to use up mana keeping those people alive, it's aggravating to the healer too. Tell the people to watch their aggro, don't just leave it up to the healer to keep them alive or have the healer just let them die. Other healers may feel differently, but I do not sacrifice people unless I absolutely have to, including pets (with the exception of Imps. They just have too few hitpoints and only cost mana to bring back so they are the most expendable of everything). Aleri's been holy specced her whole life. I don't expect to do damage; I expect to keep everyone alive for as long as I can so they can do damage. There have been times when my mages were the most important in the group because we needed AoE DPS or no one was coming out alive. If someone dies, it's usually because I didn't do something I should have (or at least that's the way I feel). If my tank is just letting things beat on my mages or rogues instead of trying to get things off of them, both the tank and the DPS monkey(s) are getting a talking to. We are in there as a group and we will work as a group. No one is expendable and everyone has a purpose. I sure as hell can't kill all that crap by myself so I'll do whatever it takes to keep all my people alive and killing for me.

Edit: Now, when I'm playing Eth, it's a different story. If I get aggro and can't give it back, don't worry about me. I've got enough tricks up my sleeve to keep my butt alive most of the time if I get aggro that I can't shed. At least I can usually stay alive long enough to do my DPS role so we aren't in a whole load of trouble if I die. GG doesn't worry about my health too much either. He's seen enough times where I can pull my tricks and come out alive (hurt, but alive) after he's gone down as the druid, with only worrying about his own health. I try not to give my healers heart attacks though. :)
