First Impressions

[Jini]

I read on the Blizzard forum that a Paladin can heal himself, thereby pushing himself to the top of the aggro list. Whether he heals himself or another player, it could be that a smart Paladin player can serve as quality crowd control.

Heh, how can healing oneself make one the target? That is seriously flawed AI I would think (I I myself play horribly bad). In any typical game (like normal WC), or in this game, I would personally not start out with the guy that heal himself. I would take out the others first, then focusing on this rehealing guy at the end. I think good monsters should do that too, reduce the number of targets and sources of damage to you as quickly as possible.

Strangely enough it is most effective to kill the Healing things first. They can often heal more per unit time than can be dealt by damage dealers of equal numbers. Therefore it is necessary to kill the healers first.

As for the meaning of "aggro", I always think of agriculture. We had a part of the company I work for to previously be called "aggro" (they deal with fertalizers and such). So I feel it is a horrible word. Beside, even if it means aggression, it is not a so good word since it doesn't tell what it actually mean. Just my thought :)

The argriculture abbreviation is agro. Aggro in the MMO context is short for aggression.
