    Tanking in this game is certainly the easiest I've experienced in any of the 10+ MMO's I've ever played over the years. On a three mob pull, mark targets 1 and 2. Shield lob target one while running in, use flash, Quick blade on target one, savage blade on target 2, Rage of hamone on target three, flash again. Quick blade + Savage blade target one, rage of hamone target 2, quick blade plus savage on target three, rage of hamone on target 1. I tend to use the 6 second stun on a target when it's about 6 or less seconds from dying so I can focus on generating more emnity on the other targets and it prevents me from taking any more damage from that target.

    This "rotation" isn't what I use every time either. If I know someone in the party does a ton of damage, I will target the number 1 marked target more often to produce more threat on him.

    Like everyone else mentioned, my basic combo is also shield lob> flash> fast blade > savage strike > flash > rage of halone > FB,ST,RoT spam. I also try to add shield swipe whenever it's available, if I can get it in time. For stuns, unless it's a big attack or if it would hit other people, I just avoid them so I don't break my combo by using stun

    The only thing is that for the first 2 or 3 combos of savage strike and rage of halone, I put each attack on different enemies by tabbing through them and apply the skill on each, so every mob gets enmity

    So far I haven't bothered marking, and even when dps all hits a different target each, I can hold aggro on all mobs fine since they all have enough enmity. If an enemy does aggro someone else, I just provoke it and do a combo on it and that usually will regain and keep aggro on myself

    i've only tanked until the 2nd primal fight, so I don't know if things changes later
