Agro is basically focusing a monsters attention on you, while the rest of the group heals attacks or whatever. Every action done in a battle causes agro to the monsters you are actively engaged with fighting. Fighter primary way of holoding agro is Mock, snearing kick, and Critical hits. As clerics heal they accumualte agro, ans mages and archers damage the mob they also accumulate agro. So as fights progress the key is to stay on top of the agro list. The best way to do this is to always hit your kick, then at 20, Mock. Mocking is best used for more then 1 at a time. If you just have 1 engaged Kick is usually enough to hold it.

Believe me you will still be asking questions for ages to come....lvl 20 means nothing...

Aggro is in simple terms....a monsters hate towards you.
The more the monster hates you the more likely it will attack you.
Archers and mages get aggro but doing alot of damage....now if you were a mob and you were getting beaten down by these guys wouldn't you try to kill em?
Clerics can also get aggro by healing....because if you were a mob and someone was keeping your 'dinner' alive....wouldn't you want to kill them?
A fighter is a special case cos they are aggro pullers. They are designed to instantly make a mob attack them using aggro. By either kicking or mocking. Just think of it as taunting....if you were a mob and someone starts making fun of you wouldn't you want to beat them?

Kicking and mocking is important. ^^
