Hey guys,

I recently made a pally and am trying to work on his agro section. I was wondering if there's a TLO that will let me write a condition to use a spell if someone gets above a certain agro % without me actually losing agro.

I.E. I'm tanking but my zerker is at 85% agro and I'd like to use an ability before he actually gets to 100 and takes it from me

I guess you cant get more than 100% aggro, so You (Pally) cant make someone else get less aggro. The only one who can lower the % would be the zerker.
Right? or am I wrong here?

Have a look here:

character - MacroQuest Docs

docs.macroquest.org

Have a bit of a play around with; AggroLock, PctAggro, SecondaryAggroPlayer, and SecondaryPctAggro.

At the tanks INI you use a single "<" or ">" for your aggro on the mob and a double"<<" or "">>" to react on secondary aggro.

Note that some of this only works if you have the aggro.

I might be wrong, but I think aggro is a simplified view of the sum of all the things you do that provide hate. It might help to think of it as a race to build and keep the most hate, and your prize is having aggro. So if the pally has generated 999 hate and is being lazy and staying at that, the berserker will eventually steal aggro once they've reached 1000 hate. The pally can of course do more to add to his hate total and keep the zerker lower on the list.

The percentages we see in the UI (I believe) are relative to the top person on the hate list. If the pally is at the top of the list, the ui will show him at 100% aggro regardless of how much hate he's built. To change the numbers a little: if the pally has 100 hate and the zerker has 50, the ui will show the zerker at 50%; likewise if he had 85 hate he would be at 85%. If the pally has 2 hate and the zerker has 1, the zerker will be at 50% aggro, but if the paladin uses SuperCoolAbilityX that makes his hate 100, the zerker's "aggro" will drop to 1%. I believe taunt sets your hate at "highest person on aggro list's hate + 1." So while you're correct in that you can't make someone else do less, you can make their percentage smaller by doing more yourself.

Learned it myself just this week, when I saw a sample of a sk’s aggro section on this boards.
Passing by regulary and lurking what others are looking for, often gives me new insights of what all is possible with the tools at hand.
