I'm having trouble managing aggro in edemo, especially phase 1. Not just on DC, but sometimes even on rene specced CW (with both OP and GF tanks.) Not all the time, so maybe the tanks are doing something different. Should I be building for threat reduction? Or don't use BoH?

    you just need better tanks.

    it really does, if a tank is specd for holding agro and works to hold agro, you aren't pulling edemo off him. Especially GFs, OPs tend to not work as hard at holding agro with more focus on damage mitigation

    I use an OWL for 25% threat reduction and only get in trouble if there is red circles that I dont see. I havent tested this without the OWL, so buyer beware. I have had this OWL since Mod 6 for obvious reasons. It has served me well.

    it dose happen to me a lot when healing groups in mdemo mostly pugs

    i have changed my play style to adapt by spamming my AA to mitigate damage instead of healing

    Is your CW a Master of Flame? Those often pull aggro like crazy... Also I've not had a problem with heal aggro in a long time but I can heal tank most content even as righteous now so maybe my perspective is different than yours.

    Threat reduction has't ever helped me in this game. If you're running with tanks that have problems with aggro slot a tanking companion like a Young Yeti. It will help the tank out and help you out by not being run over.

    Tanks should be able to hold aggro in edemo without you doing anything different. I play it all the time with my GF, and if I'm trying a little to hold agggro I get it. Sometimes he wanders off (mostly after a tank companion I think), but that is what the "tab" taunt is for.
