I've asked this question previously but I think the answers were mostly for lvl's 60+. I'm having trouble producing to much aggro while in groups. I'm a lvl 32. I usually group with warriors and hunters that are lvls 28-34. No matter what I do I always end up running and blinking for my life because the mobs come after me. I will wait until the tanks have started attacking before I start. But once I shoot that first fireball or Frostbolt they stop attacking the tanks and come at me. It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen about half the time. I only use AOE when the guys are in trouble fighting 2 or more mobs. That also causes them to come at me. They keep coming even if the tank runs to them and starts attacking. usually I can blink and freeze enough to escape without dying, but I don't think I'm supposed to generate that much aggro. Is their a different strategy that mages should use at my level?
If you are just questing or killing stuff together then it doesnt really matter, the mob will die so fast it shouldnt get more then 2 hits on ya.
In instances it's different, let the tank put some sunders on the mob, or give the warrior atleast 5-10secs before you start attacking. It's common for us to generate aggro FAST, I find that I catch up to the tank, and rogues (that attack right away) almost instantly.
