IMO coming from a level 24 templar, At this point i like it better when a fighter is the tank, Allows me to heal and they have aggro spells.

Maybe I've been using my skills wrong but I find it hard to control the aggro as a fighter. Sometimes I can initially gain the aggro but if someone pulls it from me or they initially grab aggro, not matter how I attack and the skills I use I cannot switch the aggro to me. Kinda frustrating when you see the healers HP deplenish as I try everything I can to switch aggro d:

Reason for that is, that there are no talents yet. Right now, the one who does most damage gets the aggro.

Exactly, when one of the group (Tanks) is getting 'beat on' on running low health, il jump right in front of the boss and start wailing out my attacks as fast as I can, then gain the aggro by the time my health is running low we usually killed everything in sight.(gotta love my DPS)

You should be able to get more aggro that other in current version too.

2 things for fighter:

- you must switch to Guarded Readiness which increases threat generated 160% (and lowers your damage 9%)

- you can use Incitement if you loose aggro to get aggro back

Also when you have muti-mobs you need to tank spam Heavenly Rumble to keep them on you

If you stay in Ready Stillness it is dps race with others so always switch to Guarded Readiness

Are Guarded Readiness, Incitement, and Ready Stillness currently implemented? Haven't seen them yet.

There were implement, worked and tested in 2nd beta.

Unless they were bugged in new version and removed for fix they should be available.

Main server is down today for database replacement but if I have time today I will compile version working with my personal WoM server to check if I see still see those spell.

That would be good. These spells / skills are not mentioned anywhere, including your list here ...

It would explain why holding aggro with fighters has proven difficult.

Yeah, I haven't heard of these fighter skills either. I'm L25 so if they are higher level skills I should be able to see them to train them. Haven't seen them in any build at all in TBW
