My three stages to Paladin tanking

[Revya]

These aren't obvious things, they are very specific to this game especially the Enmity potential being primarily based off weapon quality. In most other games, high enmity skills give an additional amount of enmity that scales off level and/or tanking stats, so weapon upgrades don't do much to enmity produced. In this game, they are simply a multiplier to your weapon damage making weapon upgrades for enmity exponentially more important in this game than in say WoW or Rift.
I've had multiple people leveling tanks ask me what they were doing wrong in Brayflox because they felt like they were getting melted by mobs. The answer is you're level 32 and there is a huge jump in damage from earlier dungeons to Brayflox. Only thing you can do is gear out in full HQ/dungeon gear and/or level to 34. I've heard similar complaints from healers saying there tank was melting, my response being "Brayflox?".

Note that flash is fairly weak before 40, but once you pick up Shield Oath it becomes ridiculously strong due to the way it interacts with the Shield Oath multiplier. 90% certain that flashes strength is directly related to WD also, thought I tested this months ago but now I'm not sure or if I just read someone else's work.

I'm assuming since you're breaking tanking strategies down for new folks based off level ranges that it would be nice to include this info, as it's not completely obvious your first play through.

Right.. iv never been much in to the number game in the details like the other guide you linked was about. And I've never had issues with brayflox either be it Tanking, Damage or healing. The number right now to decimals is not needed ever, as they are focused only on this specific class and not taking the rest of the classes into account.. as you raise in stats every level so does every other class so they are always equal to a degree.

Yea this is more focused on new people to get into tanking with a enough info about their skills and usage area. Flash does get a boost with Shield Oath yes, but at the same every class gets more damage and healing enmity so its back to square once again... so its still a little useless for other then initial enmity gain as at all levels.

as for the other mmo's they have little place here other then the general idea. how they are different are off little concern really. And as a General rule of thumb.. as a tank you should have the best gear available for the best result this goes for other mmo's as much as it does here.

Though that said with proper skill usage in Brayflox and you wont have a problem even with a little under geared items. This does also go for the damage dealer and healer as they also need to know their skills well enough.
