What is the math behind threat?

[HuntFireShield]

Obviously as a blademaster i know how to tank, and having threat specced is essential. I know how threat works, i just want to know exactly how it works, like the math behind it. if any genius wants to assist me then go ahead

[Nivalias]

Each enemy stores the damage a character does to it in an "aggrotable", but instead of the real damage it stores a  value called "virtual damage" or VDMG, which is just real damage multiplied with threat modifiers. And the person with the highest VDMG gets the boss' attention.

I wouldnt say it better. As for the numbers: Basic threat skill give you +200% more VDMG for all skills as Nivalias said and you can fruther rise it with hm points to +300% total.

In other words:

 

there is BM with 100k dps (has +300% threath with skills and points) 

KFM with 120k dps (only skills threath so +200%) 

WL with 200k dps (no threath)

 

"virtual dps" 

BM 400k dps

KFM 360k dps

WL 200k dps

 

with this BM will be one with the most aggro
