How does Aggro works?

[proxy]

I mean seriously? how the target decision of bosses work? is DPS? because when i was playing with some friends i was using a AoE based combo (Scythe with Void Spell and Electric Ball) focusing on spaming spells and using E ability of the Scythe i got myself being targeted by the boss way more times then my other friends, and not in only one fight and most expecilly the "Adam, The First Born" when the boss spammed the grab on me? I really wanted to know how the targeting work in this game...

They can smell your fear , the moment they laid eyes on you they knew you were an easy meal

On a more serious note its probably because you hit more frequently then they did for instance the scythe throw hits multiple times over a period of time and so does the effect of an ignite that procs from chaos magic and guess what ? same thing with the electric ball periodically zapping the target until it expires... meanwhile your buds were probably like: whack, whack with a great sword and poof let me get the f' out of here or doing the 'can't touch this dance' with the slashers going invisible,elusive and dashing till the boss forgets they even exist.

I was wondering the same thing and tested a few things and learned that even if I only hit a boss once he would still target me throughout the fight while my friend was the one fighting it. Seemed like it was pretty random but while fighting together I definitely got it quite a bit more then when I hit it once and chilled, about 2-3 times more often so I have no clue.

that was a joke? Seems more like the truth to me.
