The only thing I can say is the mobs must be doing an aggro check of every player in range and the AI is splitting the aggro among the whole team so one player is not the main focus of the whole spawns aggression.

That's correct. It has been this way since release, I believe -- I remember being aggro'd while running Invisibility back in beta. In a nutshell, the entire team is put on the awareness/aggro list, not just the person who initiated the combat. It's not quite that simple, since there are a number of extenuating circumstances that can happen, but in general it is correct.

Hmmmm I picked my current toy stalker build, em/ninj, back up to day to do some rough testing on the agro. Some interesting results. Most instances mob agro worked as would be expected when playing 2 stalkers, 1 stalker dehides due to attacking gfirst, and gets ALL agro until 2nd stalker attacked and broke hide as well.

However on several marked occasions some wierd forms of agro occured.

Instance 1: Stalker 1 attacked a mob, 1 lt and 3 minions immediately turned to stalker 2 and began attacking. Up until this point, stalker 2 had been sitting on the other side of the room waiting for buildup and placate to recharge and had initiated no forms of agression.

Instance 2: Upon entering a room and getting within 20 ft of a mob, stalker 2 was attacked. There had been no mob intereing between stalker 1 and mob nor stalker 2 and mob. Mob just simply began attacking for no apparent reason. No +perception in these mobs. Just ordinary paper mission freaks.

Instance 3: While on a rather large sewer map, agro was created in the final room, it was aparent that the mob couldn't be wiped out without dying, stalker 2 retreated back and went back into a state of hide, however he mob followed, so stalker 2 continued to retreat, mob did NOT lose agro as stalker 2 went throughout the entire map back to the entrance doors of the map.

Now, it is my understanding that a stalker shouldn't be seen by any mob unless they have + perception. If agro is tossed onto a stalker because another teamamte attacks, thats somewhat counterproductive to the stalkers AT. They have it bad enough with the fact that ambushes tend to target them through hide as is, without having every mob in a mission do so as well.

Also the agro behavior of the mobs seems much different lately than it did previously. I have another lvl 50 stalker and while it was not my favorite AT to level at the time, the agro behavior on mobs sseemed much different... aside from ambushes in mayhem missions that is. Was the agro bugged before and its working as intended NOW? Was the agro working then and is bugged now? Or was i just lucky enough to not have had to deal with it on my first stalker?

Now im not a stalker player, im not complaining im just curious. If anything i tend to play brutes/scrappers/tanks becuase stealthing isnt my thing and i want the mobs to attack me anyways. However when i DO play my stalker id rather it work as intended instead of having hide gimped at every stage of a mission and having to scrap it out with a much lower HP, and a much lower dmg base *shrug*
