Pyro Control, possible bug, but not sure

[Zep]

I am in a group on Indom that meets 9-11pm pacific daily. Every 2-3 weeks we pick a new theme and go with it.

 

Our latest is any of the new or significantly altered power sets from the last update.

 

I am playing a (now 38) Pyro/Fire Dominator and we also have a controller Pyro/Dark (I think for the secondary).

 

We also have 2+ tanks and 2+ brutes. Not everyone makes it every night. If we have more than 8 we league and do the same TF or Event.

 

Ok so that is the Context and situation.

 

Here is the possible bug. 

 

Both of us playing Pyro independently came to the same feeling that we are pulling much more agro than expected. In particular last night the group I was on had 2 tanks, 2 brutes, a scrapper, a Sentinel and me the DOM. I would pull agro off them in may fights. Even with me seeing them taunt. Not pulling whole groups but 1-3+ small groups.

 

I also get in this team last night I was the only one without a resist or defense based primary or secondary. 

 

I really like the set, the mix of status effects and powers, I am just wondering if Glittering Column is doing something weird with it's taunt or perhaps some other power is playing tricks on the agro system.

 

Thank you for your time,

GC does have a mag 4 taunt... it only lasts 7 seconds, but that is the same magnitude as a tank base taunt too. so you would pull away from a tank taunting... 

 

i have no idea if domination has an effect on taunt, i doubt it though. (i'll ask around... 😉 ) (UPDATE: an dev said no it does not. 😄 )

Also, who were you fighting?  The new Blackwing enemy group has reverse taunting mechanics and preferentially target squishies with it.

We havent made it to KW yet. Thanks for letting me know - I wasnt aware. 

 

Last night was Manticore - so mostly Crey.

I was in the LoF last nigh with two tanks with my 49 Pyro/Marine Controller.  There were two tanks and it seemed I was getting aggro far more than I should.
