Skills with a dot makes more aggro than skills without it
And of course Aggro skills

Dont know if i missed anything....

[XRay]

skills that increase hostility
damage
dot helps
single target heals

[MasterXtrem]

I think HOT is a factor too (heal over time) Since healing totem and healing fairy pulls aggro

[XRay]

that don't apply
altho. the more crit you have, the more damage you do thus generating more aggro

[jerome15]

figured as much. good to remember for when i start playing again.

[Nerthu]

its not just the dmg/heal. chakura make defenly more dmg then me. bud i take faster agro then him at bosses.

[jerome15]

[MasterXtrem]

its not who give highest crit / dmg its about who does most dmg over time ... meaning fast dps

thats true. bud chakura how so much higher critrate and scad. i cant beliefe he make lower dmg then me. i know that he have just 2 short aoe's. defi have 2 aoe's that run alltime and the noob nukes. bud with the double scad, a lot more magic dmg and 25% more skillcritrate he make defenly more dmg then me.

Lightning restraint's aoe dmg not working on bosses is a huge blow for tempests, but if he has extended duration on holy light its hard to believe you do more. Although if his base magic dmg isnt all that much more, has lower dots and has to recast aoes more (so you can fire more) I think it is still possible that you're doing slightly more dmg. But based on my experience grinding JS I have suspected lightning dmg has lower aggro bonus...really not sure though tbh.
