A few warrior and grouping tips I've learned:
Attack from behind: Get EVERYONE attacking from behind, except the main
tank. If you have a decent warrior in the group, he/she should be able
to hold aggro, even with everyone else at the mob's back. Don't believe
the rogue in the group that says that everyone in the group needs to be
on same side opposite him. A good warrior will be able to hold aggro
over 90% of the time.
Multiple mobs: Assuming the mob has been mezzed, everyone in the group(s)
need to let the main assist break aggro. Warriors should always taunt
the mezzed mob at least 2 times before breaking mez, and should break
mez with a bash to stun the mob. As said in an earlier post, mez
generates bunches of aggro for the chanter, and if the mezzed mob comes
to life before aggro has switched, the group will not last long.
Sit Aggro: If you're fighting a mob, and get it down in hits, and your
nuker let's fly with the damage, and gets aggro, if you can't taunt the
mob off, don't wait for recycle time, get right next to the mob, and sit
down. Mobs REALLY hate when you sit down next to them. Who cares that
you take max dmg when sitting, yer a tank, yer supposed to take damage.
Besides, you have SO much more hp than that mage/chanter/wizzy there
that's getting beat on.
Distance Aggro: Let's face it, our weapons have a pretty good range. You
can hit mobs from a decent distance out. Everyone in the group should be
at max range that still allows them to hit the mob. Except for the main
tank. He should be right up there, in the mob's face. For many mobs, it
might even appear as tho yer looking thru the inside of the mob. Doesn't
matter, yer not there to look pretty, yer there to tank and hold aggro,
and mobs tend to go for the one's closest them.
For casters and non-tanks: If you get a mob beating on you, please don't
run around like a stoneleer cockatrice with it's head cut off. All yer
gonna do is give the mob free shots at yer back. Stand still, let the
tank get to you and regain aggro. He/she can't do that if yer running
around. And running around in some places will aggro other mobs, and a
controlled situation just became an uncontrolled one, and here's hoping
nobody gets left behind in the evac, or dies before evac.
Hope some of these suggestions help!
