With the patrolling fortune tellers there, you're going to aggro something. I've gone through the zone without being heavied. That can be done, especially if you take advantage of LoS breaks of which Zahar'ak has many. Deeper in Sapsa though? Forget it. I'm sure people have gotten through that area without a heavy on them, but I can't remember ever doing it.

On topic, yes heavy is annoying, I curse it regularly. That said, I'm of the opinion that it wastes less time than a forced dismount > break tether or forced dismount > flare all the things would.

If your aggro circle was based on gear score that may help reduce the chance of dealing with it ("that's some shiny armor, I'm not messing with that"). Or they could cater to the danger lovers. Maybe have your gearscore increase the number of mobs linked to an aggroing mob. So when that FCOB geared tank traipses through sapsa like he owns the place, he ends up with the entire zone trying to repel him.

Just throwing those out there. I'm genuinely curious what the dev team is going to do with the new open world mobs though.
