I was posting my concerns in the DC thread. I am starting this thread with the hopes it gets a "On Topic" response and suggestions for fix. Our own thread with "Fix My Taunt" should get the eyes of a DEV in the rare chance that a Dev reads this this board. I would love to hear a cry out from our class on this issue and would like to see similar threads (if not this one) on the top of the board until we are fixed. As it is in life, "The squeeky wheel gets the fix".

I smash vexing strike , hit provoke when it pops, and I find I only maintain aggro 1 of 4 mobs in an average grp. I am using a fast 1hd and shield.
It just seems like we should be able to hold taunt..kinda sucks.
Forgot to add at lvl 13 against lvl 11-12 mobs
Xerokill you sound like you are pretty knowledgable with the class.
I feel like they took my 2hd battleaxe and gave me a 2hd wooflebat.
I am concerned they don't fix the aggro generation for our class before it is widely known that we cannot hold aggro. That type of bad repuatation/image (once embeded) makes it very hard to get a grp. EQ1 Rangers were DT speedbumps for 2 years, Monks didn't get a mitigation mod for 6 expansions. Both of these 2 classes were bumped (even in thier own guilds) for spots in grps and raids for more utilitarian classes. I don't "jump the shark" when it comes to classes, but I have ridden out some bad storms in MMO's and I just hope this is not one of them.
As it stands, we don't have the DPS of a War and we hold taunt worst than any other plate class (yes even a cleric).
If we have a class advocate, I ask that he please speak up on this with the urgency that the utility and reputation of the class is at stake.
