    Just coz the icon stays under your hp bar doesnt mean aggro is getting reduced as well. Aggro is a pure server mechanic and can not be generalized like that.
    That boss is not available anymore or else I would go record it right now. If I didnt use sneak again after snowman revived I always got aggro, maybe the tank in your party had high aggro like you but I was farming with randoms.

    Sad life as a tank? What??
    As others have said, being a tank is really easy. Especially if you are a bg tank with Decoy Shot and P. Def. If you lose aggro, it's you having either a bad connection or bad party members. My 60-ish tank can hold aggro farming Tyrant Hard, even with only lv1 P. Def (which doesn't generate aggro, my bad :V), because my party can cooperate.

    Why spam P. Def?
    Bosses nowadays are getting more and more crazy with their attacks, even the 3rd RoM Guignol has an AOE that ignores your resistance. This makes P. Def the best skill for your tank, because it will make any dmg you take 0. No restrictions. It even heals you (WTF!?) Pair this with Decoy and you'll have infinite MP to generate aggro and spam P. Def. The only issue you might have now is stupid party members.

    I did that all the time when I was tanking the 3rd anniversary events, holloween, and other events, especially where there's multiple mobs like the 3rd round at 3rd megiston event with ulti machina, odelon, wanderring wheel, etc. My standard playtsyle there is go near the corner, target ulti machina with moeba shot>arm break>guardian>p.def combo, stand in one spot and spam both warcry and P.def....spamming p.def when they're using strong attacks and spamming warcry to aggro all the mobs, even when spamming warcry that costs 3 bars mp I never run out of mp using bowgun shield tank plus decoy shot with my ampr, I used the same strategy at scary when angry event, hero potum with knuckle friend, goldoon with his henchmen, and the other events with multiple bosses.

    So basically when you have nearly infinite mp from decoy shot no one can steal aggro from you because you can always spam skills like warcry without destroying proration, and you can P.def all the attacks when you have their attention and not worry about running out of mp when decoy shot is active. I don't really like moving around when tanking and prefer to just stand in the same spot while occasionally casting sanctuary, guardian on top of spamming warcry and p.def, I think dps players prefer this kind of tanking because it makes the bosses' attacks predictable and constant, and you literally become an "immovable wall" that can take all kinds of damage without moving inch, increasing your dps' confidence in you as a tank that can withstand all attacks:cool:

    Pdef and Decoy is a gift from god.
    Used those skill with Titeres,Tapir and Zoe xtall,mp doesn't even went down,Pdef till oblivion

    Reminds me the times when me and my friend are playing together,both of us are pretty much the only tank in our guild
    Hell,even we gemrun only with 2 of us,im tanking it while he execute the poor things.

    Even though now i kinda miss the times where i diced bosses with Tenryu,im already satisfied being a tank main.

    Sad, anyone can be a tank now. There is no upside to being a tank anymore. Even a 2h or a knuck user can be a tank or even other classes and it can never be the other way around. -_-
