Blanking out the aggro meter

    What does this mean? Is this the game saying that everyone else is equal in terms of percent aggro so it is not showing anything?

    I have been toying with a few disc combos and have found that I can blank out the aggro meter every time and at anytime during the fight. If this happened at the start of the fight I could understand that. But I can do it start middle and end. I have even done it taking over from another tank. Is this a bug?
    And no it doesn't involving hitting a lot of buttons.

    Hit projection of fury
    Hit unflinching
    Ride that a few seconds
    Taunt off pet
    When pet fades aggro meter will be empty

    It's a bug with the aggro meter. What happens is that the pet is #2 on aggro, so you see his name there. When the pet disappears, the aggro meter doesn't seem to know how to process that situation. Instead of displaying the new #2 on aggro, it just leaves that spot blank for a while. It'll eventually update (on raid targets, group targets will usually be dead before enough time passes). It only seems to have this problem with pets. If #2 on aggro dies instead of despawning, the meter will show the corpse for a short amount of time, then update with the new #2.

    TL;DR - it's a bug specifically for despawning aggro pets.
