How often does the Shaman pull aggro?

please note this is only my personal experience;
when I was leveling I used fleshrippers With screech and it was effortless until SM range Where they just got insta gibbed, I happened to pick up 3 broken tooth cats running too and from uldaman and dear lord I spent more time corpse running my healer than anything else... any group of mobs with more than 5 (so normal aoe packs) were horrible... the scorpions pits in ulda, the aoe packs before boss in arena evenT in BRD and such forth were pure hell on earth... mobs in your dead zone. You could end up wiping to 2 normal mobs if you had a panic reaction...

Someone suggested ungoro gorillas with stomp... so I duly noted and went tamed 4 with stomp and set about again and ya. Even worse... sure they had an Aoe but it’s on a 1min cooldown and doesn’t even generate much agro.

I thought, right this is it, I’m gonna bench this team.. and I said I’ll just grind some timbermaw rep for my shaman before folding him into a different team and I noted that while doing that the owls from that area seemed to take longer to die than most regular mobs around them when I agro’d them... so que taming 4 of them, never looked back. My old method was bind every pets attack to different keys so I could Send 1 pet to tank every mob in packs of 4 easy, I don’t even need to do that anymore. 4 owls go in, on one target, they have a damage reduction so they require a lot less healing, and they have screech... the only time my healer pulls agro now is when a passing patrol happens to agro mid chain heal cast, and it’s not even an issue I just send all pets to the patrol, regardless of what they are doing. Haven’t panic wiped once since and if I have a situation where there’s a lot of damage coming in I just auto attack the hunters, chain heal with the shaman until oom, then park the shaman and use meant pet on my hunters until their oom by which time my shaman is nearly always about 75% mana again. Rinse and repeat.

Very rarely. When it does it's usually because of something I did such as using chain lightning and didn't change the pets targets or a random pat/runner pulling another group. My Sham is full resto atm with the Healing Grace talents.


I just did two full SM Armory runs and did't have any deaths. I even had a couple reeaally long fights because of runners chain pulling(3-4 packs).

I also redid a few macros and keybinds. I had petattack baked into the damage rotation and while it worked it wasn't ideal for switching pet targets . I've pretty much moved everything around and am using a petattack macro with one toon adding in a hunters mark and I feel like I have much more control now.
