I can't hold aggro on War

[NyssaElf]

Seems like know matter what I do I can't hold aggro on war against a pld. I don't know if its the pld glitch or not. I can spam overpower till I'm out of tp, and an undergeard pld can steals it in secs. I don't know what do. Its bringing me to tears.
I feel like the worse tank ever because of it.
In case for helping info. Relic axe/myth head/ct and DL gear.
What can I do to hold aggro better?

Are you using the main combo till you secure enmity? Ifbtheyre taking aggro you can use berserk to give you tht extra hate. When youre pacified you can just thtow out some flashes. I never have problems holding hate against plds.

[NyssaElf]

Yeah I'm using my combo. Seems like before I can even get skull sunder off they take aggro.
I did not know about berserk working though thank you

Are you talking about ae or single target? Assuming ae, but assuming is bad lol

[Kyros]

Why are you competing to steal hate in the first place? The only time we do this with my team is during Spiritbond session after Mini-ADS on turn 1.

If you are MTing, the PLD should be mixing it up with Riot blade. If you are not MTing, why are you trying to steal hate?

[MrDiezel]

Hopefully you're using Defiance... I always figured War was the better enmity generator, but ive never had to pull from a Gladiator... not sure why I would.

But if you absolutely cant do anything to get aggro back (on single target) theres always Provoke (Glad 22) that will put you @ the top of the enmity list. hopefully you have it

i always let the paladin tank the boss xept he is far below my item level. the reason is simple. warrior are the better off-tanks because of our 2 debuff rotation.

Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm's Path (10% less incoming dmg)
Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm's Eye (10% more dmg for tanks and 50% less HP recovery)

and all that without building hate. so be a good warrior and help ur tank mate to be even better ^_^

unless you're way undergeared, a WAR with defiance and primary hate combo cannot lose aggro to a PLD. They can come close, and maybe take it for some 1/10th of secs the time your skill hits, but they can't win if you want to compete on that. I tried to troll a PLD once in CM for last boss (nothing to do as an OT before the colossus here) and it worked prety well.

WAR may be better OT, but they are just the same MT than PLD on pretty everything, and should not be underestimated. T4 double dread ? We can survive. Our HP pool makes us a great option for tanking, and though it's a bit less effective than shield oath, we can MT without problems with a healer we can trust ^_^

Be a good warrior, show them your awesomeness as an unkillable sandbag.

(disclaimer : I love to OT for my pld mate when we come to play together. It allows me to drop off defiance and to be a "nearly good" replacement for a dps slot when only 1 tank is needed)

war > pally on single target threat generation its not even close.. butchers block has 280 potency while halone only gives 260.. you also have infuriate/unchained to further boost threat generation
