This Thing You Call Aggro.

[Quark]

I don't remember where we were - may have been LBRS - but Quark (who, as I said, is a great aggro manager) got a crit hit in, maybe 2, drawing aggro.  He immediately went on evade.  Even though it's a 70 percent chance of evasion, he got hit EVERY time.  I can't quite recall if he died, but if he did, there wasn't anything anyone could do.  Sometimes it just boils down to bad luck over poor aggro management.

That was an ... interesting fight. It was LBRS right before the spider, and I think it was our 2nd group of adds (raiding tends to have people's awareness drop), so we were scattered, and I was on "kill now, worry about yourself later" mode. I wasn't even down to 95% life when I used Evasion, the orc just kept hitting me through it - including Mortal Strike, and that's the most painful attack in the 5-man instances I've experienced. Gebo did manage to save me, I'm still not sure how.

But, yes, it should be noted that we do tend to goof off sometimes. When mobs die before you get a 3rd or 4th combo point, you tend to not worry as much about how your aggro level is. It's actually really convenient for me right now if Sommli's in the group. He usually does more damage than me, so if I hear him Feint, I know I better Feint too, because the mob will now turn on me.

Preview-Addin: I see in preview you guys talking about sounds while I'm slow on this reply (ooh, shiny object, *walks away for 5 more minutes*), like I talked about hearing Sommli's Feint. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of what's what, and it's easier when you know the other classes, so you know the sounds they expect to make. I'll keep in mind to listen more for the Warrior and to watch his Rage bar, though :)

Maybe I'll follow Darian's advice for a bit with Morn. Payback for Griz's "sorry, lag" moments :)
