Looking for Tips when Dealing with Ninja Aggro

Congrats on being a lazy and awful tank.

At low levels, tank threat is really weak compared to 50. If your gear isn't top notch and/or you aren't level sync'd, NIN & BRD can cause problems. Most of that goes away when you get halone/brutal swing.

Anyhow, DPS has a threat meter, they know when they are going to pull agro. They can adjust accordingly if they don't want to die.

I'm not arguing that it isn't difficult. I'm saying that tanks who give up to teach DPS a lesson are lazy and stupid. You do it intentionally because the mob is almost dead, or you get it back because it's your job.

I am a tank main, not just blowing smoke out of my bass.

If you're just giving up, then sure you're bad. But I thought this was about the OP doing everything he could and still getting overtaken by level sync'd NIN/ROG with all the best DPS cross class abilities? If they're blowing all their cooldowns at the start of the fight and the OP just can't keep up he shouldn't beat himself up too much over it It will get much more forgiving when he picks up halone and further when he gets shield oath.

... up until he hits 50 and everybody overgears him by 50-60 or so ilvl...
