It seems since update 59.2 that intimidation and threat gen is broke. It seems almost impossible to hold agro. We have noticed this with 2 different tanks at different levels including our raid tank.
The mobs are learning..... kill da healer....Just run a healer, you'll have aggro the whole time.

Hi!Running my first tank now, so this thread has me curious about all things tanky.
I don't raid much. In quests, my toon is moderately successful at holding aggro, and I'd like to know if I'm building in the right direction. He's gonna TR soon, so any education will help for his next life. Thanks!
- What content are you running?
- At what difficulty?
- What's the character's buffed Intim?
- What other sources of hate are you using besides Intim?
I must agree. I've noticed no difference in my regular raid runs which I tank, nor on the Hardcore server.Are you shield blocking or actively attacking on your tank.
I have no issues holding aggro by swinging away and intimidating.
My suggestion to anyone wanting to "Tank" is be prepared to sacrifice. You are choosing to take the hits. That is your job. So anything that doesn't help you take the hit, had better let you take more hits. You are literally sacrificing damage in your build so that you can take hits (and more hits), so that in turn your teammates can forgo defenses in their build thus allowing them to deal more damage.Running my first tank now, so this thread has me curious about all things tanky.

bummer.I've never been able to get threat gen to actually work correctly or really at all in this game, even with 70+ intim, and 500% + hate gen. Everything almost always ignores me. . .so, to say it got broken is a bit off, it always has been broken and has never been fixed to work worth a . . . yeah.
What mobs have you experienced this with? Certain types of mobs have unusual quirks when it comes to threat.It seems since update 59.2 that intimidation and threat gen is broke.

all fighter? or barb? That's pretty impressive though.my tank has 132 intim and 1800%+ threat gen
This has been with all mobs and not just those that have quirky mechanics like mummies.What mobs have you experienced this with? Certain types of mobs have unusual quirks when it comes to threat.
Good thought, though the Warlock Aura of Menace is meant to be like intimidate, it's designed to pull agro, so it's doing a similar job as your intim, just in a different way. although that aura is a toggle, so if the warlock doesn't want agro, they can disable it. so since the aura hit first, then you need to overtake the agro felt by the aura before the mob will redirect attention to you.My friend plays warlock and/or fvs and I am the party tank in our static group. He uses aura always get the aggro before me. Through walls for example. Even if I am the 1st who deals them damage. Mobs just ignores me. I use my Intimidate (92) and no effect.
If aura works this good, why Intimidate isn't an aura effect too? I hate hitting the keyboard every 5-6sec. The higher Intimidate value U have, stronger the aura will be.
I'd love that.
Wow! Nice! Is that standing or fully buffed? Mind me asking for your build & equip list? I'd love to work towards mimicing something like that!
