This sounds like this was intended to increase melee aggro? I've been having a harder time holding aggro over casters on adds since this change.

Anyone else having problems?

Yes it seems that tanking things is harder again. I tanked Maniatic behemoth todaY. I had him solo on my warrior with Bloodfrenzy and epic 1.5 both equipped. Stun buff also on. I had him solo like i always do, 20 seconds of tanking i called for dps, and once they started to enter room MB then decided to go outside the room and attack clerics for no reason. He should have been under contol without a doubt. there was not alot of healing going on.

Also in ldon, seems that when u pull 2 mobs and get group of dps on 1 of them, taunt both with warr, that 1 of them still goes after cleric. And again i have same gear as mentioned above. If the changes were suppose to make melee generate more aggro then it is not working correctly at all. Seems to be the exact opposite. the code seemed to work just fine before imo whatever thats worth. I use ldon as an example because thats what i have been doing recently. Everyone in guild says same thing about melee changes thats mobs are responding less now.
