OP's and holding threat

excat56

WTH is up with this? At times it seems impossible to hold aggro aside from single target. I shouldn't have to get lucky to get a charging bull ring +4/+5 to be able to effectively tank (hold aggro).

Are any other OPs having massive aggro issues in T2? Have you found something to viably build your threat, without having to sacrifice with the ring?

I built Justice tree, which seems a far better tree, except the fact I can't hold aggro to keep ppl alive once they start dealing damage, or can't pull the small mobs when they spawn (ex. eTOS), so my team gets HAMSTER by the spiders, etc, and I can exhaust all of my TC to no avail (yes, I'm within 30' when I use TC).

All of the threat generating encounters seem like they pull ZERO threat for me, and even tested in stronghold last night after a few frustrating T2 runs the other night, to find that when using them, you get completely ignored.

Compared to a GF, the OP's aggro-gen is very lackluster. The OP has a couple things that are supposed to draw aggro, but they don't seem to be very effective. Players on both PC & XB1 have been asking for the OP to draw aggro better, but I doubt it'll happen anytime soon. It seems as though they designed the GF to be the class to draw aggro, while the OP got the short end of the stick, even though the protection path is designed to tank, & keep your team alive, same thing that a GF does

Do you play an OP tank? Any suggestions?

binding oath draws aggro and i rarely have issue holding adds the only thing that ever pulls the adds off my protection pally is a guardian fighter. or the add being out of range of my taunts.. not to say they couldn't be stronger but they do work

i ended up respecing yesterday, and went with a slightly different setup, different encounters, and a new rotation. runs in zone lairs have seemed to be better, i'll find out though once we go back into a t2. (pulling the spiders during eTos without having to move the boss, etc)
