Mechanics[ | ]
Aggro refers to the amount of threat you have on a target. The person with aggro is the person currently being attacked by the mob.
Aggro Management, in a group, is the job of the Tank. If the Tank is not strong enough DPS players, such as Rogues and Mages, will steal aggro, causing the fight to quickly descend into chaos and death (which is bad).
