Aggro control options for Katana/Regen

[Koopak]

So I'm pretty sure Provoke from Presence and Melee Radial are all i have to work with, but I wanted to ask to be sure. Are there any other options for maintaining aggro on a pack of mobs with katana/regen? Ya know besides "use a different AT or power set"

Appreciate any insight anyone can give.

not likely to hold/maintain aggro on multiples, but if you're quick, you can usually intervene enough when 1 teammate is about to take a nap. just KU/KD & out-dmg the squishie you're attempting to save, and if they complain about your lack of tanking skills, tell em to learn the mechanics of the game & build a better char that isn't reliant on tanks taunting -lol

Well there is Calling the Wolf, but yes keeping more the one foe at a time interested is going to come down to your damage output vs theirs primarily.

 

See the HCwiki article titled "Threat" for more details.

Thanks guys, I'm just looking to see if I missed anything, im generally quite familair with the games mechanics and my build makes use of both Provoke and Melee Radial Hybrid.

I dont have any issues with people complaining, never met anyone who EXPECTS a scrapper to tank. However both the RP concept of the character and the nature of the SG I run is such that hes often the toughest person in the room mechanically and RP wise, so I try my best to off tank. I'm usually pretty successful and am able to tank most pre incarnate content as long as im not having to pull aggro off a tanker or brute.

Of course I can never keep everything locked onto me, unless the hybrid is up, but I just wanted to see if I might be missing anything that could make my life easier.

play Kat/Willpower

 

Then you get a taunt aura

I'm aware, if that was an option for my goals, it wouldn't have felt the need to ask however. Thank you for the input though, I would not recommend Regen as the best secondary for what I am doing either, but for the character concept I greatly dislike both the mechanics and the appearance of Willpower, and no amount of color changes will fix it, its just way way to tame.

You could do a Kat/Regen brute 

 

It gets a Regen aura, and a full taunt in the primary, Brutes mini tauntvoke and a higher threat value. 

 

Damage is less but should be fairly close.
