Tanks/Threat/lowlevels Please fix this.

[Daniolaut]

Out of curiosity cause I've been with some plds that couldn't hold hate. Overgearing is a problem, but for multipulls, how many flashes are you doing? And are you doing the multipull flash rotation? Most of the time, the pld runs in flashes once, and then starts comboing. Instead i've always done flash x3, then riot blade combo with a flash interwoven in.

I ask, because I don't have this problem and I notice you have reached 50 so overgearing should be even less of an issue with you.

Unless something changed very recently, I haven't had any issues tanking with pld/gld in low level content.

Firstly I would like to note again that I stated that I basically never lose threat as long as i'm paying attention .

Secondly what i'm saying here is that its boring to play Paladin during low levels because the skills given seem pointless and boring. I am asking that they adjust the level at which Shield Oath is given, swapping it with Sword Oath since sword oath is an OT mechanic...

How did you manage the mobs? If you are synced down you shouldn't lose hate at all. The times low level tanks lose hate are those non synced ones, which are leveling themselves up paired with DPS who are like i90++ synced down, but still can be managed.

Engage with your lob or tomahawk, throw in 2-3 flash/overpower. If both your DPS are capable of AoE spam such as BRD/BLM them you might want to throw in one more flash/overpower before cycling your 1-2-3 combo. Like for example in a 3 mob pack, on the mob marked #1, I would say for example, Fast Blade + Savage Blade it then Rage of Halone on mob #2. Then Fast Blade on mob #2, Savage Blade + Rage of Halone on mob #3, then go back to check on mob #1. Is it dying, say like less than 40% HP or going to die in less than 4-5s? If so, I'd just stun it and move on to other mobs.

I main a BRD and PLD as first choice alternate, I didn't have issues. I've also just finish leveling my WAR to 50 and applied the same principles and even paired with high level synced down DPS, doesn't have hate issues.

I would just like to say I appreciate your attempt to try and suggest how to tank, but having played this game since 1.0 and cleared all the content up to 2.2 as well as some of the 2.2 content i believe I understand the tanking mechanics. Again, i was state that PLD level sycned at 30- 40 it senseless completely because we are only given an Off tanking mechanic (sword oath) which makes no sense because there is no Off tanking content to be had at those levels.

Its actually pretty hard to hold hate as a low lvl tank. Especially if you arnt over geared. But even as i92 warrior you just don't have any options. Yes we have overpower at 12, but thats about it and you can easily run out of tp. If there is a halfway decent goon in your group, he can easily pull threat off of you. No butchers block = shit dps I can't speak for paladins but im sure they have their own problems.

I would like to note here that i specifically stated that warrior needs no adjustments. I have fun as warrior except in high level content because i feel PLD is a much more efficient tank, at which point i'm getting into personal taste.

Again i will restate, the issue i'm asking be addressed is the level at which Paladin receives Shield Oath. It makes no sense to obtain an Off tanking skill at a level where there is no off tanking content.
