Guardian and agro issues

[Torvenn]

Hey guys,

I rerolled from a prot paladin to guardian. Im currently at ilvl 210.

Im experiencing problems with grabbing initial agro alot more then with prot paladin ( lolfrisbee).

Any suggestions?

I tend to pop berserk and spam trash on big pulls and that works, the problem is when berserk isnt up.

Any advice is welcome.

A thing to note is that in SL Berserk no longer makes mangle hit 3 targets, you need incarnation for that. That caused me to lose aggro a couple times on pulls of 3 because I believed I was hitting everything when I wasn't.

dont thrash as a first attack while still collecting and running into mobs, use moonfire, mangle/swipe and only your 2-4th attack is thrash.

Because thrash is awesome for aggro, but not if the mob is still out of range...
without incarn/berserk the cd is just too long to use it as a first attack on wild charge...

you have to use the first thrash on all targets and keep tab targeting autoattacks, moonfires and mangle/swipes depending on size you want to spread aggro.

Tab target helps.

moonier - tab target - swipe/thrash - tab target - swipe/thrash

On what content and what gear level? I'm sitting at 215 ilvl doing 13-15s and the only time I lose aggro is when other classes decide to immediately pop off, such as Balance opening with a convoke.

Yeah, once the gathering has happened, I love popping my Ardenweald ability and most of it can almost be auto attacked and stay on me once it completely cycles through it.
