SE, can you fix RDM's aggro?

[jameseoakes]

I had one the other day pull the boss in DPS stance in Kugane Castle and i ended up having to run before he finally managed to get aggro back. This obsession with stance dancing gets to be a bit much when they can't hold aggro and then want to blame the dps for not performing correctly.

Did you use diversion?

Not taking sides but there has been an increase of tanks pulling bosses/trash mobs in DPS stance especially in Deltascape normal (bosses). It is correct to say that DPS should be using DPS ENMITY SKILLS (USE THEM EVEN IF YOU HATE THEM *LOOKING AT YOU MELEE/BLM/RDM ^_^). However, too many times it is the case of tanks simply wanting to sit in DPS stance and forget that securing aggro should be their primary concern. I have died more times as a healer (using only healing abilities) and DPS using LD/diversion because of this. Not saying tanks are only to blame, but as a tank (and an infrequent tank player), one must never forget that you are the parties meat shield. Go into DPS stance when you have a far lead on aggro. Again, DPS should be using the DPS ENMITY SKILLS (USE THEM EVEN IF YOU HATE THEM). Saves everyone a headache.

Dungeon aggro lost on SAM/RDM tends to usually be because they are single targeting in a pretty large "you should AoE" here situation. In raids not using Diversion/Lucid when appropriate tends to lead themselves getting killed if they put up respectable DPS.

It used to be pretty annoying in earlier dungeons with no stances, before they buffed tank aggro

I play DRK is every expert roulette ... I never lose aggro to a RDM ... ever. Check your latency/opener combo?

Just for reference. I use Unmend, leap. After that depends on the size of the group, I will either use abyssal drain x3 for larger groups (mainly to help with healing), then use 1 normal aoe (forget the name off the top of my head). After this combo, I never have to use another aggro combo until the mobs die (except for bosses).
