Screech causes initial aggro to non-focus mobs because it is just SOMETHING that hits them. The damage done is only to the focus farget, the mobs aground him are aggroed because they got debuffed, but it is minimal aggro, soon as you heal pet/tank those mobs (if only affected by screech) will turn instantly onto your healer/self. I initially thought it did damage to all, but found out otherwise, it only does the debuff, which is why it does not break nearby CC. Used to I guess, but it no longer does.
That’s interesting. I’ve never been in an instance with a hunter using screech.

My Owl has Claw AND Screech, but I have GftT and I crit often enough he always has focus :P
Back in the olden days, *grins*, I tried using claw on one of my cats and I didn’t like it. That memory stayed with me for a very long time. Last weekend I finally put points into the focus regen skill. Vanyal tamed an owl and learned claw. I watched Sunspark’s growl icon very carefully for the next several battles and on and off all weekend long. Though growl was sometimes delayed a couple of seconds it always went off after refreshing. With bite, claw and growl all set to auto, Sunspark held agro just fine. I believe I’ll also be able to buy Go for the Throat as well. It might be overkill, but I think I’m going to go for it when I get the points.
