[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 5906146, member: 5889"] I'm in the "I like the concept of marking, but not marking" camp. In "real life", your armored fighters are also your greatest offense. You put armor on a tank, but its also one of your biggest guns. A machine gun nest gets surrounded by sandbags to provide protection. A medieval knight was the most badass thing on the battlefield. In these scenarios, aggro tends to itself because your high AC guys are also your biggest offense. People are going to want to attack them anyway. But that's not true in Dnd. Wizards and Rogues bring the big pain but have lower ACs....the "glass cannon" as you were. So aggro makes mechanical sense to allow a high AC player to actually make use of his AC. So I'm fine seeing aggro in the game, and I liked 4e's take on it (no mind control, just some enticing reasons to attack the defender). I just really didn't like the tracking pain that was marking. I think an aura system or some of kind of maneuver system could do the job more elegantly. [/QUOTE]
