This Thing You Call Aggro.

[NotSoDarklord]

Here's the thing. As stated in a below response. I typically can manage aggro just as well as I want to. I have no problem with sacrificing damage in order to feint more and not backstab as much or cb+eviscerate. I don't die all over MC and I would if I charged in there the way I tend to do in those raids. Whenever it becomes a threat to the group or could hurt our progression or rate of progression I go back to being a good dwarf.

Why do I do it? I get bored :) Most mobs can be taken down within 5 seconds, if I steal aggro I can pop an evasion and if I get unlucky maybe take 500 points of damage. It's evil to priests, but generally I just don't worry unless I'm sucking up shields or flash heals. (And neither do they, or at least in the case of Hillary)

Interestingly enough I tend to try to never do it on bossfights like the baron (The baroness is one exception). What happened there is 2 backstab crits in a row as well as something like 5 normal attacks critting. I was screwed, had already used feint 2 seconds or so earlier to prevent stealing aggro in the first place and didn't have evasion. I thought he'd go straight for treesh if I vanished so I just let myself die. 10% durability is my penalty for f*cking around :) I'm perfectly fine with that and expect it.
