Learn how to manage aggro in World of Warcraft: Midnight 5-man heroics, understanding the roles of tank, healer, and DPS.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Let the tank tank and ensure they do not die.
  2. 2
    If the tank deals massive damage, uses great AoE attacks, and can taunt quickly, they can hold aggro on their own.
  3. 3
    Rogues and hunters can assist the tank in maintaining aggro. Rogues can use Tricks of the Trade, and hunters can use Misdirect, directing these abilities onto the tank to boost their aggro lead.
  4. 4
    If you draw aggro, it is your fault. Do not blame others; taking too much damage beyond what the tank can cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) is solely your responsibility.
  5. 5
    Healers only draw aggro when new enemy adds enter a battle.
  6. 6
    As a DPS (damage per second) character, if you are dealing too much damage and cannot drop your aggro, stop dealing damage or reduce your damage output.
Tips
  • A tank's ability to hold aggro depends on their damage output, AoE attacks, and quick taunting.
  • Rogues' Tricks of the Trade and Hunters' Misdirect are key abilities for supporting the tank's aggro.
  • DPS characters must monitor their threat and reduce damage if they are pulling aggro.
  • Healers should be aware that new enemy adds are the primary cause of them drawing aggro.
