That is the reason you get agro as soon as a tank pulls.
Although more accurately it would be better if Square made it so that HoTs case before combat starts don't generate aggro
It would also be nice for tanks to realize that happens and cancel the renew between pulls when chain pulling trash. My company's tanks do so, but training a puggy tank to do so has proven futile so far.
Now if you have a healer that keeps on trying to cast the renew right before each pull, yes it's on them. But if you pull as a tank with 5 seconds of renew left that one is on you. Either cancel the buff or wait 5 seconds.
or better yet, wait until ur healer cast the buff etc before u start moving into the boss and start
I even said in chat, "wait, let me cast Succor first", and they still rush..
I only have problems with tanks that open with anything but Flash during pulls. When I meet those tanks, I neglect casting Regen when there is only one monster left. When I have a proper tank, I can cast whatever buff I want and no monster will ever reach me.
Regening before a pull is a bad idea for sure. However, if you are attentive enough Mr. Tank: you can actually right click off the buff yourself if regen is still ticking and or your healer jumps the gun! Now you know! Cough, good tanks know about this...right? ;)
Even regen on dps will also cause agro the tank can only cancel his regen.
