hi im sorry to say this, but if you have aggro problem in this game, you dont know how aggro works here.
PVE:

1. you should start the fight first every time and do some damage before the others. if you dont have damage you will need more time to generate aggro. its a fact
2. your party need to wait to start dps.
3. you dont need hatred items or gems to keeping aggro, those perks or gems are only useful in mitigating aggro problems
4. in this game there are no aggro problems and you cannot expect to aggro everything using only taunts and then stay put doing nothing. you need to attack and do damage

In a perfect world sense yes your party should wait for you to aggro basic 101 of dungeons, but most of the time they don’t (that’s fine) every party is a box of chocolates unless your with friends or a group that know what their doing. The aggro should just work better you can swing all you want but if the person is doing more damage or you get healer aggro (mostly healer aggro imo) and trust me I have swung at them before, they just pull off, not much you can do about it, it doesn’t make you a bad tank it just happens.

Mobs are delayed when you taunt, someone can shoot a mini boss (situation where the party should wait but don’t) and you can taunt it then it just walks right pass you (to go to said party member not near you) before doing the animation to the person that shot it before turning to you.

Unless I am misinterpreting 3. You do need the carme gem at the least. The hatred amps up threat by 15% (that’s it). You can just use carme gems and be fine they work with defiant stance, shield bash and if you use hammer shock wave. Of course other weapons that can use the taunt as well as long as it has carme gem, and it all has different cool downs for when mobs pull off 2-6 seconds (at least that’s what the description says). Swinging I feel there’s a delay for them registering back to me or they won’t register at all forcing me to skill before they kill someone.

You need the carme gem on your weapon to taunt so cool that’s the only thing that should be working? There is a perk called beloved that decreases hatred, I have no idea who wears it, but doesn’t that mean their should be some sort of change so it is being used or be taken out or modified? It’s small stuff but to be honest it can be done better for future potential content that comes out. The dungeons might not be hard now but if they decide to throw something at us then at least there’s a use for it.

So far for pve tanks have just said aggro that’s about it. Probably some small changes nothing damaging.
