Please give warriors inate aggro generation. If Warriors could actually do their jobs in PvE as well as they should be able to, it would take a lot of pressure off of casters / back up classes that are there for support.

Maybe base it off of the amount of Adrenaline you currently have? I don't know...I just wish I could take aggro off of a Monk instead of watching the Monk run around in circles going "OMFG GET IT OFF"

Mosnters are silly enough without the need to use other skills that are specificly made for that (I will not give example games). There are ways to make them stop attacking the monk - knocking down, crippling them, hexing them with slow, blinding them, dazing them and so other stuff that can if not disable, to reduce their efficiency. Agro skill will be a pretty lame thing, spamming it with defences, ripostes and other stuff like that.

Inate agro for warriors in Guild Wars is easy to get with a good team. let the warriors lead the charge and castors kite when something decides they look tasty. A sign of a good group is how well they handle agro.

"Taunt". An MMORPG knight skill that made all nearby enemies hostile to you. Something like that?

For Guild Wars it would need to be: make all enemies in the area target you. All spells they are currently casting land on you. Or: all enemy target calls target you for X seconds. All enemies in the area targetting an ally now target you.

Actually, I like the idea of a "Taunt" skill in GW. But I fear such a skill would be massively overpowered in PvP (ex: it would slaughter spike builds in one blow if the infuser knew who to infuse ona regular basis.). And no; you can't have a pve only skill, or your adreniline idea. Agro exisits for a reason. If mobs weren't intended to target castors, they wouldn't.

ANet already took out the "gear/book" trick. I really don't anticipate them bringing it back.

Give them a skill called "Come To Daddy!" or, better yet, a shout "Come, Get Some!" followed by "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble-gum. And I'm all out of gum". Then make 90% mobs go "KHAAAAANN!!1", rip their chest armors and charge the lurer and the 10% smarter mobs would go "You Talkin' To Me?" followed by some movement compromising skill cast on the lurer.

And bears... Presearing bears that shoot laser beams out of their eyes! Aw, man - that would be so fricken' awesome!!

There's already ways to gather aggro. If warriors knew how to do their job, they wouldn't have a problem.

Rathcail · Sep 27, 2006, 09:20 AM // 09:20

Honestly, I think I would quit Guild Wars the day they add aggro gaining skills. It would bore me to death to play GW then.

Guinevere Ac · Sep 27, 2006, 09:22 AM // 09:22

there was this ability to aggro everything on the warrior. it was called gear and book trick. they removed it because the game in some areas was becoming ridicously easy. not gonna be back in any form i guess.

"Over Here!"
tactics
shout
5 energy 30 recharge
For 5-15 sec all foes in Earshot now target you. If another player uses "Over Here!" both shouts end.

Maybe if you idiot casters with your low AL wouldn't get in the warrior's aggro bubble when he/she is leading the charge, you wouldn't get attacked in the first place.

But hey, if you want to get in the warrior's aggro bubble and get your entire team (except the warrior) murdered, be my guest. "I Will Avenge You!" picks up where casters fail.

monsters are not silly. they will go for squishies rather than warriors. just like i do when playing the game. I see a monk he goes down i see a rit he goes down.

like someone said it would make the game easier than it already is.

Actually, in my experience it's the casters that don't know how to do their job. They'll run up right behind the warrior before he runs in to get the aggro, then start their spells already then (meaning they have to get into range - which will pull the monsters to the casters). Other problems include; rangers who insist on pulling since they normally use bows, casters who wand monsters for their attention, deaths charge and, as you mentioned, incompetent warriors.

Point being, it's not always the warriors fault.

LOL!

laser go pew pew pew!

But as for the idea. It's not that hard to get the enemies aggroing onto you if you know how to take the groups properly. However, a lot of warriors out there don't know how to take and aggro properly and if they do it's usually runined by an equally clueless elementalist that uses something to break the aggro. Thus if this is the problem then I'd suggest you either stick to guild groups or you ask more questions of the party members and make sure they know what they're doing.
