Make use of social-ness and argons. Yeah, you are going to loose agro fairly quickly on most mobs depending on your group but in the end, if it gives half the damage to you and half on someone else, which saves the healer mana. Building hate on one social mob builds hate on all of them. If two social mobs are near each other, hate one and then attack the other. This builds hate on both the mobs, but more on the one you hated.
We would estimate that when you hate a single, social target, it builds half hate on all social mobs in the area. Scenereo 1: you attack the mob you hated. Other people start attacking it, building hate on all the mobs attacking you. One person goes over half your hate poer on the other mobs. This sends a signal to all the social mobs to now attack the guy who went over half the hate power. Scenereo 2: Now, you are building hate on the mob which had half the hate power added to its hate value, and DDs in your group have to overcome the full hate power on the mob you originally hated, thus keeping the mobs on you longer. You can buy Lineage2 Adena for level.
Make sure to know when to AoE hate. If two mobs that are not social are near each other, do not do an aoe hate. In the case that three mobs are near each other, two are not social, but those two are social with the third mob, make sure to still attack the non-social mob first. That way, you have only two attacking you and not three.
