Aggro is how much the enemies hate you, if you're the most hated, they will attack you. This is affected by pretty much everything you do in combat. Damage gives aggro, healing gives aggro, etc. Some of our skills as gladiators say they do increase enmity, which means they produce more aggro than they would as a straight damage skill. So an aggro rotation would be the order you use your skills to maximize your aggro.

The hate bars are the little white bars to the left of people's class icons in a party. It shows how much the enemy you have targeted hates that person.
