Set a lower skill level to reduce the threat you present
Perhaps one of the least understood tactics is how a player can use an Active skill at partial strength and why you would even want to do so.
Every action by your character generates some degree of threat which may trigger the attention of mobs that are nearby. Some aggressive mobs have a low threshold and will respond more readily than other passive mobs. Your action may be seemingly harmless and yet it generates a threat in the eyes of nearby mobs. Healing yourself or another player is one example. Even sitting/standing still generates threat and may trigger a mob to react.So it pays to know how you can cast a skill using only partial strength to avoid attracting unwanted attention from nearby mobs.
Press Alt+S to open the Skill window and view your inventory of skills. Scroll through the list to find the active skill of interest. For skills that are higher than Lv1 you will see two arrows that you can click to decrease or increase the skill level to any number between 1 and the highest level of that skill that you have mastered.Once you have dialed in a lower skill level drag the icon for that skill to an available hot-key slot. You should see a number inside the hot-key boat is the reduced level of that skill which will be used when you next press that key.
Use this technique in a party to avoid stealing mob aggro away from your party's Tank.
