    I have my system. I know when I need to pop sprint. It's not at the start of any particular area because it's going to be down before I get to the last set of mobs. (I've passed people doing this without using sprint when I DPS.)

    The problem boils down to a lack of patience. Let the tank grab their aggro and you can go to town on everything. The more you interfere with that, the more difficult it is to get aggro back.

    Tanks have their problems too and also need to learn some patience. Running to the wall blocking the next area when mobs are nearly dead isn't helping anything. It's especially annoying as a melee class to suddenly have things out of range.

    What difficulty is there in getting aggro back? You hit the enemies once or twice with an aoe and you've got them. People also, in my experience, tend to stand on top of the tank when they pull ahead, even further removing any perceived difficulty.

    Maybe this is just a personality thing. Tanking is genuinely the easiest role in the game, even in high end content. I don't personally understand how anyone can say any aspect is difficult. (Core concepts are HOLD AGGRO, MITIGATE, SWAP IF NEEDED. Revolutionary...)

    Sorry if this is tinged with a bit of tude. I hope we can still have a discussion.

    It takes effort to not get aggro. If a dps stacks up with you, you have to go out of way to not get aggro on the mobs they pulled.
