Hi; i have never played a warrior myself, as tanking is not my idea of fun; i have however noticed that in the many of the grps i have been in warriors can have real problems managing aggro.

As far as I am aware warriors have no skills that cause additional 'threat' and hence allow them to hold aggro. In fact the threat calculations in the pve side to guild wars can appear to be totally random at times; although i am sure this cant be the case (or is it?).

In short; should not warriors have access to such aggro management skills? 'taunt' for example... which forces an enemy to focus attacks on the caster for x seconds. This skill could be restricted to work only against npc's so as to not upset the pvp side of things. Also, a skill that forces all nearby targets to focus on caster for x seconds, but with a longer recharge.

BTW; yes i have taken these skills directly out of world of warcraft (or wherever else they may appear); but i really think warriors could benefit from them and pve could become more controlled.

I apologise if this duplicates a previous thread; i did look and couldn'y find one.

I would like the /taunt emote to really anger the mobs, so they rush (depending on their AI) in and attack you.

Be nice way to pull targets when adventuring with henchmen.

I could see something like this being abused for farming. Kinda like the book trick.
