How do you guys hold agro. I group with usually to Master Bh master Pistoleer's and I can't seem to ever keep mobs on me. They kite around and I of course can't just run and shoot stuff I gotta be hitting it face to face, I've tried using taunt as an auto skill but that doesn't seem safe, so I was wondering what you guys use to hold the mobs. Thanks.

i have no prob to hold agro when i taunted a critter. just make sure u take one at a time, as the cooldown timer of taunt is quite long, so u cannot spam it.
i usualy let my non-ch pet attack (with the follow command to stop the attack directly after) - this pulls the targeted mob away from the lair to our group. as soon as its near enough i use taunt and cob. then the ranged guys start to do their work. i hardly ever loose the agro.

I'm fighting with a Master Bounty Hunter with his scatter pistol, of course his CL is 80 and mine in reality is 56 (grouped 80), I figure I should be able to hold aggro but because he does insanely more damage than me I can't seem to keep it, but I'll see what I can do.

I use the swordsman area-taunt, works great, just make sure someone can heal you.

You need to be the one that attacks the critter first. You must taunt before you do any attacks. No one should attack the critter until you have landed one attack after taunting.
This usually allows me to hold agro long enough for my ranged friends to finish off the beast. If the thing does agro someone else it is possible to re-taunt and pull the agro back to you. I have saved a few ranged people by doing this.
Tanking isn't easy, but it is possible.

Yes, after it got fixed recently it's helpful, I also throw in pikeman's spin attack when dealing with multiple mobs, this helps to more or less "safely" hold aggro IF the group gives me a bit of headstart to generate some "base" hate
. And since yesterday I even have done this "tka-style" as I use the knuckles of the katarn for this (before I used a vibrolance).Message Edited by darmokVtS on 05-12-2005 04:39 PM
