    Unfortunately, I'm doing all I can. I know my combos and if I flashed anymore I'd be completely oom. I can only do so much...so fast. I have had no problems with threat...really ever...until I started doing dungeons with my husband. I'm going to assume it will get better when I get Rage of Halone, or if there's a way to keep fairies from spamming so much or something.

    It definitely gets better with Rage of Halone, and even better with Shield Oath.

    However, I think I may know why you are having issues with Thunderclap. Basically once he electrifies the water, the tank has no way of generating aggro, because he's simply out of range, however, the Faerie continues to gain aggro because of healing. Thus when you clear out the Thunder sprites, Faerie generated enough aggro to reach the top of the aggro list.
    I noticed that you said you are level 21. I may suggest that you wait until level 22 when you have access to Provoke, which may alleviate some of the aggro issues. Provoke is EXTREMELY useful in these types of situations, and is only effective and should be used when aggro is stolen from you.

    It could be the Faerie overhealing, but I'm not in a position to say since I have no experience with Scholar, nor have I had an issue with a Faerie getting aggro from me.

    EDIT: I noticed you are on Hyperion. If it's still an issue, /tell in-game and I can try provide further assistance.

    The faerie doesn't start healing until someone in the party drops below ~70%. If the faerie is spam-healing you to keep you topped off, its because the SCH is spam-clicking the faerie's heal to keep healing you. If you want to share the threat better between the SCH and faerie, tell the SCH to alternate casts of faerie Embrace and the SCH Physick.

    Personally, I don't start healing my tanks until they drop below 70%. Once my faerie starts healing the tank, I also jump in with a Physick.

    In terms of hate stealing I'd say ARC pets are the worst but they only take it for a bit before I spam OP and Flash to get it back. If you are having trouble keeping emnity try using provoke. I believe it unlocks at lvl 22 GLD.

    ARC doesn't have any pets. >_>

    But, yeah, what everyone else said. It's a combination of the fairy's healing/over healing and your not having Provoke or Rage of Halone yet.
