CORE DEFINITION

A monster's aggression value towards players. The tank is responsible for 'pulling aggro' through taunt skills to protect fragile DPS and healers.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Attention management. In crisis PR or team conflicts, identify who is 'pulling aggro'. If you are a leader (tank), you must actively draw external attack fire (aggro) onto yourself to create a safe output environment for team members. Conversely, if you are fragile, reduce behaviors that generate aggro.

Anchor fast decisions

Game AI uses 'aggro/threat value' to decide which target a monster attacks; skills (taunt, high damage, healing) change the aggro ranking; the tank holds the highest aggro to protect fragile teammates.
