The target of the enemies, and their tendency to attack, is usually modeled with "aggro". Damage increases aggro, but aggro can also be manipulated. Tanks usually have ways to increase their aggro, unproportionally to their damage, and DPSes sometimes have ways to lessen their aggro. Actually the tank's task is to take damage and manage aggro so that the enemy doesn't kill the DPS-es or the healers.
