Aggro Dumping (or an aggro dump) is the act in which a player uses an ability to remove some or all threat from a target or targets.
Aggro Dumping Abilities[]
Priest: Fade will reduce threat on all targets.
Mage: Ice Block will remove threat for the duration of Ice Block. When Ice Block wears off, some threat is restored.
Warlock: Soulshatter will reduce threat on all targets within range by 50%.
Rogue: Feint will reduce threat on the current target. Vanish will totally remove threat from all targets and place the rogue in stealth mode.
Druid: Cower will reduce threat on the current target.
Hunter: Feign Death will remove all threat on all targets for the duration of Feign Death (six minutes). Hunter's pets can Cower, reducing threat.
Paladins, Shaman, Warriors, and Death Knights do not have any threat-lowering abilities.
Note: Fade, Feint, and Cower will not be useful in solo situations. Soulshatter will only work if the warlock's minion has accumulated sufficient threat.
