[Guide] Paladin Tanking Compendium 2.0

[Arkista]

I'm new to PLD and have been running AK runs since I hit 50 to get DL, anyways when it comes to 3 mobs I'm having a hard time keeping hate at the start I guess because the DPS. I'm marking the mobs so the DPS can focus on it while I build hate on the others This is what I'm doing- Shield Lob/CoS/Flash then I start the Halone Combo on the Mob marked 1 and finish it on 2 or 3 (Rotate it) to keep hate on me while I throw in a flash/CoS when up, Sometimes I lose hate and it will go toward a player and I will Provoke it and that's not enough to get hate back so I Shield Lob sometimes is enough and sometimes it isn't but if not I have to run to it to hit it with RoH and then I lose hate on another cause I'm running to get the mob off the player. What am I doing wrong?

When I have 1-2 mobs I really don't have a problem with controlling hate except with some Relic+1 players even then its not so bad but when Its 3 mobs I have some trouble. I'm alternating between 1/2/3 mobs. Oh Shied Oath is up too.

Maybe having a Relic and DL gear will help.....

I had fun with PLD doing Chimera/Hydra but doing AK hasn't been much fun

Is there a faster way to mark mobs?

I Usually start marking the target with '1' and do a quick shield lob, approach mobs and use CoS on all of them, then i flash few times (3-4) and then i start doing RoH combo on the marked target. Rotate RoH (combo-ed) to the mobs you are about to lose aggro when applicable. When the marked target is about to die, you can start marking '2' on the second mob and start RoH combo on it.

Assuming your DPS did not AOE the other mobs and just focus their damage on the marked one. The chances of you losing enmity on any mob is very slim.

If they do AOE all the mobs, you should use Cos and Flash until oom and then start doing riot blade combo (Fast blade > Riot blade > Flash). Use CoS when CD is up.

If you are tanking multiple mobs use the multitanking rotation noted in this guide. You are taking to long to output an even amount of enmity to all mobs.

I just got hands myself! Kinda depressing though, i'll be 6 points short of ring next week, then its 3 weeks to pants after that. Is.. discouraging. The only 6-8 pieces of loot for the raid per week is so frustrating. No possibility for vertical growth after monday night every week :/

Looking pretty good! Yeah the mythos cap is discouraging. I wish it was 1k. If i wanted to spend human time for gear I would play Eve. Saying "I get pants in 3 real life weeks" just sounds not fun.

Yeah... just broke down and worked it out... no ring till 11/4; pants 11/25; finally boots (which hopefully I won't have to buy cus the loot gods will grace me) 12/8.

I could be okay with the 300 cap (1k does seem... high, maybe 500 would be much more manageable, can get anything but +1/body/legs in a week) if cealring turn 5 reset coils so having the group capeable of clearign turn 5 would reward you with increased access to loot.

That said, I'm pretty lucky, i get all acessories first time they drop and my partner gets all armor, and for my build I only need the boots... but several weeks in and we haven't seen a single fending drop in turn 1 haha!
