If you always plan on playing in a group, your main job is to hold agro (you already know that). Ensure your Taunts are Adept 3 - no less. It may cost crazy money, but it's your main job - so spend the money for the Adept 3's.

At level 51, all your skills should be Adept 1, your main skills Adept 3. You should have a few Masters also.

Talk to your group-mates. If you are with a Wizard, tell them they will die if they pull agro from over-nuking.

Some Priest spells can reduce agro during a fight. Make sure they use it when they get agro.

Not sure of the dynamics of your group, you'll be the best judge for that. Agro management is a group effort.

Good Luck

Sounds like the Scout is doing the same thing. DPS agro is hard to beat, tell him he will die if he pulls agro. He can't take a beating like you can.

If the mob is not wipe-threatening, it won't matter too much who has agro...the healer can just heal that person. But if a caster has agro, you'll now deal with interuppts and less DPS. The group needs to let you build agro before they unleash damage.

^^^ or Epic mobs are a different story. Each member must play smart, and early agro by a non-tank is not smart...and deadly.

After the others die several times and have their armor reduced to patches, they might understand.

Well, that makes sense, really. Who are you going to try to kill first, the guy who poked a hole in your thigh, or the guy saying rude things about your mother?

Just make sure you're the guy who poked a hole in his thigh, then say rude things about his mother... that'll do the trick. =^_^=

As a person who spends most of his time soloing, I have to agree that aggro management is a group effort. As an Assassin, I'm still learning how to manage group aggro so as not to be on the business end of hostile weaponry - I'm more effective if they're pointed the other way. To that end, I do have a buff that lets me directly transfer a portion of my earned aggro to a target of my choosing. Assassins who fail to use this skill in groups are not doing their job properly. As long as I let the Tank get in 3 or 4 hits before I engage, and wait a few more seconds before opening up with the high-DPS skills, nothing I or anyone else can do will move the main target off the tank - and we've tried, for experimentation's sake!

Overnuking and the Scout equivalent are most often the biggest cause of aggro management problems - but there are some fighters out there who don't know how to play their class, either. I was part of a pickup group that tried to take out Ladon, the Drakota that sometimes shows up in the Commonlands. After wipe, I went back through and checked my combat logs - and the tank taunted once at the beginning of the battle (I think before he even landed a blow), and never taunted again. Why not? Needless to say, I dropped the group like a hot potato, and the other Assassin followed suit.

My main is a 55 ogre SK. Although I've been away from the game for a year because of being deployed, I've kept up with the games many changes on o-gaming. Try using a 1-hander and a shield in offensive mode. use your single taunt, group taunt, shield bash, & kick for regular agro generation. Use harm touch and rescue for emergency agro generation to get agro back if a careless group mate accidentally steals it from you. Spam the above mentioned buttons, do your part to complete HO's, and throw in your nastiest life taps/damage spells when you can. SK's do 70-80% of our damage from spells. Offensive mode while allow your spells to do a lot more damage, which will also help you to generate more agro.
Something else to look at is the people you group with. If you're in a lot of pick up groups, you will encounter a large variety of players of different skill levels. I recommend that you put the players who play their toons well, and are assets to the group, on your friends list. Put the ones that won't listen and/or are ******** on your ignore list. Try finding a good guild to get in. This will allow you to group with more skilled players on a more regular basis, which will give you better conditions for keeping agro in fights.
