If there's little to no danger of repurcussion when an enemy ignores your mark, then he's going to ignore your mark, and you should probably rethink your character to be better at punishing enemies who do so. And if there IS danger of repurcussion for ignoring your mark, and they ignore them anyway, then that means that you're pumping out lots of extra attacks and penalties. Either they attack you (and you're doing your job), or they don't attack you and you punish them (and you're doing your job).If you're dissatisfied with your punishing capabilities, then either remake your character, talk with the squishies to get them to be less of an easy target, or learn to live with it. As a defender, you should love when enemies ignore your marks. And if they do it 100% of the time, then you should still change your build up- switch some points out of Dexterity and put them into Strength (since you're not going to be getting attacked as often as you should, so why bother boosting your defenses?). Or swap out some defensive feats for offensive ones. Switch out all of the magic armor and defense-boosting items for magic weapons and such. If a DM ignores your marks 100% of the time, then your class just became that much more awesome.</blockquote>
