Try giving your pet a little time to get some threat on the mob first before attacking yourself. As you get higher level it's really easy to pull aggro from a pet if you start attacking right away. (normal mobs generally die too fast for this to be an issue)

Also, make sure that Growl hasn't switched itself off and/or Cower switched itself on (I know that in the past this could happen for abilities not on your pet's Action Bar).

For elites, it also makes sense to misdirect to the pet (at level 76 you can glyph it so that you can basically perma-misdirect where your pet is involved) and use the first couple GCDs after it goes down to put up your DoTs.

Feign is on a 30-second cooldown for a reason - it's supposed to be used often, and there's no shame in it. It's another tool in the box.

No growl is still just a noraml aggro building skill. Some pets (tenacity I think) have a talent for an actual taunt.

you're probably just terrible

I am rubber, you are glue.

Here's another macro I always use, it doesnt include Misdirect, although that could be added. I cast that manually if i think there's a need.

It sends your pet in to attack, and casts Hunters mark. Just let pet get a few hits in before you open fire and all should be well.

Over the years of solo'ing various content, I learned several things. Don't forget that healing, as well as DPS, causes aggro. So, depending on the level of the elite, you may want to not only have misdirected a good Chimera Shot (MM), Explosive Shot (Surv.) or Arcane Shot (BM)... but also to hold off on additional threat such as Mend Pet until your Tenacity pet has gained a good handle on aggro. The other good thing to remember is that if you want to solo the typically hunter-soloable content... always bring along a good Glyph of Misdirection... that way a good 60%+ of your attacks don't have to throw too much threat your way.

Hope that helps :)

The hunter forum is really dead these days eh? I miss the old days.

I've still got two hunters 'growing' (both about L65) but I made the mistake of setting up a rogue and a mage on the same servers primarily to serve as auction agents. But at the present the 'agents', both mid 40's, are more fun.

Maybe others don't think so, but if a hunter stays geared up (including AH purchases of weaponry to stay ahead of the level drops), he and his pet are a pretty unstoppable force.
