Ogre's Hate - Need advice

[Val_Rhys]

Hello,

I've tanked the Ogre 8-10 times now with no problem holding hate (and I don't have any other classes ranked past 30). The only trouble can be at the beginning of the battle - but that's on the rest of the party to not do too much.

I cycle through Provoke, Taunt, War Drum, Warmonger, and have access to Cure/Sacrifice II. Of course, Heavy Slash/Stab whenever they are available. Siphon MP also will get you some MP back. I think the important thing is making sure you're using these abilities whenever possible (and spells when appropriate). I've recently added Second Wind to my action bar in order to boost HP immediately after a spike damage TP attack from him (but not sure how much enmity this is getting me). I also always have Obsess II active (no idea if this garners enmity).

When you do this, or some variation of this, do you not keep hate?

That's pretty much what i'm doing, but after the ghosts drop the 2nd time, it's pretty much inevitable that someone pulls hate from me.

Tell them to watch their hate meter. If it turns yellow or red, then they're doing it wrong. Use chameleon, stop everything, and wait. Or you accomplice them.
