Serious aggro problems with GF

i'm used to playing tanks in mmos, actually, i'm always playing the tank because i like that "protect your fellows" feeling. since i'm tanking for years, i suppose i at least know a little how to. but with the GF, i'm having serious problems to keep the aggro on me. in fact it almost seems impossible. even with using every taunt possible. i just can't keep the mobs on me.

and now that the gwf is out, it seems even worse. because he seems to hold aggro better because of his insane dmg, and he's quite durable too in combination with a cleric. this makes the GF feel kinda pointless. less dps and less aggro. no point in a tanking class then? i haven't gotton past level 30 with both though however. any higher GFs here who could share their experiences about tanking and aggroing later on?

    I'm in the same boat I always play the tank, at least at the lower levels threat seems to be nonexistent. I'll block stab stuff, the moment I stop stabbing to get some block power back with ToI I've lost threat to anyone that happens to be in the area it may get better with talents that gives +threat but so far in the 10-25 range it seems to be impossible to keep threat.

    Same here. However, it is always the heal, who is getting the aggro off of me. Strange.

    Well, I can tell you this much. Clerics are bugged right now. It's admitted around here somewhere that they're getting way too much aggro for their heals. It happened right after a tweak that lowered the heals too I think. If what I've been told is to be believed. Makes me wonder what the heck these alpha testers are doing that this stuff is making it to us.

    :p I kid, the alpha testers and devs are doing a awesome job. Wish I was with you folks. Of course, so does everybody else. lol

    Issues with cleric threat is all over the forums. It almost feels like we are double dipping and gaining a threat counter for every heal and damage. With so many of the clerics abilities being AOE heals and damage and no way to reduce our threat at the moment that is incredibly frustrating for everyone to deal with.

    Well what about rogues? It like I have to sit on the side lines for the tank to do 20% of the boss hp. I come into the battle and still pull agro after 2 attacks? This is with talents points to reduce threat and everything.
