Hi, I am a 176 on Arawn and am wondering how to keep rogues and mages from pulling aggro when I am kiteing mobs?
I have 3/5 DL with an ancient wyrm bow and can't seem to hold aggro like I use to be able to at lower levels. I know bolas has high aggro potential and light heal seems to draw some aggro but when competing with other classes I just can't seem to keep it all that well.
Any other tips or tricks I am missing out on? All help would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Sharp shot pulls massive aggro... But it sucks

Yes it does. Only way to make it ok is to put a lot into dex. You could try dble shot.

All skills will pull some agro, Be careful with longshot as the root effect will cause agro to switch based on mobs distance to targets.

Stuffs that get you aggro on yourself:
~Bolas and damage
~Lots of damage in a very short time (making a combo out of your fighting skills) I get most of the times the agro the moment i bolas w/ double shot+rapid shot

Disclaimer: i am only a level 60 ranger, any thing i say may be incorrect.
In my opinion, the best skill (alongside bolas) is rapid shot if you have a good auto... High damage in a short time

When I'm killing bosses. I usually bolas double the sharp shot while using haste elixer. Then repeat once bolas is ready again. Works very well for keeping aggro. Except when you don't want it so you can heal. It's kinda hard to get rid if it :p

If youre on haste then dont cast skills such as longshot or sharpshot and expecialy no double shot
Bolas and auto, thats what the haste is for, super fast auto!

Haste will actually increase the cast speed of longshot. And sharp shot hits higher than auto with a decent amount of dex and is "insta" cast so it doesn't slow you down. I personally don't use double shot because I always haste but it is a great skill because it never misses and it fast cast.
