Aggro question

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

So, I was thinking how to generate most aggro and I want to do it without resorting to increase DPS.

The aggro table, from what I’ve looked around, goes like this:

  1. Hits per second. More frequent hits draw aggro.
  2. Debuff application. Per application, draws so much aggro.
  3. Player priority. Several mobs will prioritize the player unless a pet does something to directly draw aggro first. This is frequently ran into in the city of Malmouth with those giant aetherial chargers.
  4. Threat. Adds a fairly significant chunk of flat threat on application (Effectively, its a 1 time debuff hit).

Is this legit?
How can I know these values if they are values and not just priorities? Is there some formula too?

Taunt resistance is something to bear in mind as well. From my times playing a summoner, I notice that certain kinds of normal enemies like Flesh/Rage Hulks and Dranghouls take longer for my pets to take aggro on than others.
