     The losing agro thing is just because you’re grouping with nubcakes who don’t have the first clue about what you need to do and how to watch their own threat levels. A classic sign is someone who opens up the instant the mob is pulled. Two kinds of people do this, clueless nubcakes who just have no concept of group dynamic and damage meter maniacs who don’t give a shit about group dynamic as long as there damage meter penis is longer, it’s hard to say which one is the worst to have in a party. They’re both intensely irritating and both often cause wipes.
