The Paladins lack of an AOE Emnity attack.

Tried that. Sometimes they follow, sometimes they don't.

DPS will attack whatever DPS wants to attack, mark or no mark, LOL

I see this a lot on DRK myself when doing roulettes for law. Its almost like they feel insulted when you mark mobs and go out of their way to not attack your marks. I've actually taken to Smokebombing and Shadewalker spam on my ninja and it seems to help a little. At least it helps until people actually start complaining that I'm suppressing their enmity lol

To be fair, I've also been on the DPS side of things and I've been guilty of attacking mobs that aren't marked -- But that's because the mob I'm pounding on is either a higher priority target that the tank may not know about, or it's going down faster than the one the tank marked.

DPS aren't always attacking non-marked mobs just to do it, which is why as a tank I don't always give them crap if they don't follow my instructions (unless I DO know better/run into the DPS who are just attacking mobs just to attack them).

I play all 3 roles extensively, and I beg to differ. Most DPS is debuffed with tunnel vision.

Yup. You aren't alone. I mark every target I focus on with the Big X. DPS still goes for everything else. Some just want to burn through the dungeon quick and don't care. Marking takes too long. Focus fire takes too long in their opinion. They think they can burn through the dungeon faster by attacking everything instead of focusing it. Most of the groups I run with in Roulette attack what I mark. You have those few though however that think they are heavens gift to DPS and they can burn down everything...

I think of it as a game. Let the DPS do whatever silly thing they want, and I'll see if I can still hold threat
