I'm wondering how the aggro system works in Warframe.

I want to play as a tank (E.g. Rhino), but most of the time the enemies just attack the other warframes.

Is there a way to force enemies to focus you, otherwise the tank roles are just useless (at least for Rhino)?



Best Answer

Warframe isn't like any other mmo, and it's not like WoW. In warframe there is no tank role, as you will find out that with level 30-40 enemies a warframe is pretty squishy, even rhino. While playing this game all you need to focus on is damage output. Rhino's "Iron Skin" only helps on reviving allies, don't bother upgrading mods like elemental resistance etc, upgrading "Vitality" and "Redirection" and perhaps even "Vigor" is enough.

How does aggro work in wow?

Aggro is closely associated with the concept of threat. If a mob is under attack by more than one player (or by a player and her pet), then the mob will aggro onto (i.e., will begin to attack) the attacker with the highest threat.

How is aggro calculated new world?

Most opponents in New World choose their target based on the threat (aggro). The threat is calculated from the healing done (on other players and also on you) with spells, damage to opponents, the blocking of enemy damage, and the taunt ability.

How do you use aggro?

The player or creature with the highest threat will gain the aggro of the enemy or enemies if there are no other factors that may direct the enemies' aggro elsewhere (see below).
