Aggro Guages
Not sure if this is possible but, I'd like to see how much aggro I have compared to the rest of my fellowship/raid. This would be an invaluable tool to me as a new tank. I am playing a Warden and I usually play casters in RPGs. As a Warden, I'd like to be able to visually see if/when I have enough aggro so I can switch from aggro skills to self-heals and such, and of course switch back to aggro skills as needed to hold that aggro. Some sort of visual aggro guages would be wicked sick! :D

Actually, healing can be used to generate threat. This is true for both the captains and the wardens.
Aggro, at least in LotRO, is more of who's the current target of the mob. Threat (or hate) is what you try to have more of than anyone else, so the mob attacks only you - and you can generate threat through either DPS, healing, or generating threat itself (taunts, etc). As far as tanking goes, figure out how to generate enough threat and healing, and do that. You have to learn by feel, so get ready for a trial by fire, because no threatmeter exists. |

I can tank reasonably well, and heal, but dps? I always grab aggro. *sigh* Just have to learn to pace myself a bit better. |

Target an enemy from a distance if that enemy is outside your agro range, it will show up as "x" for your long range attacks. As you move closer, that "x" will disappear. At that point, you are just on the border of the MOB's agro range. A couple of steps closer (or an attack) will give you agro. And yes, Rune Keepers can generate agro from healing also. |
I tank. It's what I do. I don't need a meter, I am happy to switch to dps when other's are learing to tank and my kinship is happy to help me learn to play other classes. We found I can't heal or play hunter and am only passable CC. If you like me find nice people to help you learn it can be very fun.

What I am worried about is holding aggro as a Warden. Like I said in my OP, I always play a caster in RPGs and the Warden is obviously an advanced class so it's not like a Guardian... I'm just looking for anything I can that will help me be a better tank. ;) |
3 years later...
Have there been any LUA restriction changes that allow a threat meter to be possible? |
Short answer: No.
