Tanks not holding aggro in dungeons? The new norm?

[Kabooa]

I didn't say it could dump aggro - I simply said one emnity related ability (non-inherent). Just spoke out of muscle memory seeing as even my L61 MNK has been stealing aggro from tanks while using above mentioned ability. May as well have tanked the dungeon myself, but then again she's in shire gear - I suspect these late levellers didn't get that luxury. Either that or they just didn't know how to aggro appropriately (though I will politely assume it was on my end, everybody wins).

It takes extreme gear disparity to lose threat. Like almost 60 full ilvls of gear. Threat modifiers in this game are insane.

To drive that point home, my lvl 60 drk can typically hold hate against lvl 70 dps in unsynced trials, though it does require me to actually be in tank stance.

In normal situations, if a tank loses hate, (as opposed to not having it to begin with) it isn't because they couldn't hold hate but because they didn't want to (to passive aggessively teach the dps a lesson) or they were focused on something else, usually doing damage.
