Besides level, do other factors affect Roar

Been playing my archer a lot lately and have been politely trying to avoid ripping aggro off the barb and making melees chase the mobs as they run back to me.
In delta the barb will gather the mobs, roar, and chose to either stand and build aggro or bring them back for dd's to attack. I have STA which drops the mobs hp by 16% so I always try to aim that for right after roar lands. There's not much point in a barb Surfing, Sundering, and Armaing and then me using it while if I use it first his damage will be based on mobs with only 84% hp.
So, barb roars and I STA. Same bow and obviously same archer, and I've been asking roar levels and most are lvl 11 roars, but on some barbs the same attack gets a bulk of the aggro while on other barbs my attack doesn't touch aggro.
I've been trying to figure out why. Obviously demon Roar has reflect. I've considered squad factors like does the barb have bramble? Do I have lvl 10 or 11 Titans? Do I have Frost Blade? Spike damage?...
Trying to factor for all that in my head and it just seems like some lvl 11 roars are stronger than other lvl 11 roars. Which makes me assume build or gear has something to do with roar even though nothing is stated.. What do you guys think?

Funny question XD. I do bh delta 3 sometimes on a demon str and a sage vit barb, i'm a lazy barb and only gather mobs / alpha male then roar in bb.
Demon is holding much longer aggro only using roar, its like 6 secs vs 1 sec.
Unfortunately my sage barb doesn't have sage roar, i let u know what i find out when i have sage roar b:chuckle0 -
Good question... But all I know about Roar is that it's a >medium< for AOE Aggro.
As in... Enough to prevent heal aggro, less than enough to prevent much damage.
When I use my sage roar on some mobs in a low bh, it takes quite a big chunk of missing hp% before the mob turns and attacks the attacker.
I've been told that Roar is only to grab aggro, not hold it. Meaning similar to the above, that it is only strong enough to hold aggro for some healing and that's it. I've seen where someone takes aggro from a small aoe, Then my Roar channeling finishes and i grab aggro back for a moment.
Basically...... if you really want to use STA, use a low lvl bow so the damage is so low that you dont get aggro.
on my archer i only use STA for bosses, i dont use it for groups of mobs[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
