Tanking habits

[Ellatrix]

My AE rot on WAR is:

Gather, Use Bloodbath while gathering > Internal Release > Overpower > Infuriate > Overpower > Berserk > Steel Cyclone > Vengence > Overpower > Wrath Building > SC

It only gets better if you can go in Unchained or Infuriated for an extra SC.

My AE rot on PLD WITHOUT a WHM:

Gather, Use Flight or Flight while gathering > Flash > Rampart > Flash > CoS > Flash > SW > Flash > Shield Bash mob 1 > Shield Bash mob 2 > Shield Bash mob 3 > Flash > Sentinel > Flash > Fast Blade > Riot Blade > Flash > Circle of Scorn > Shield Bash mob 4 > Shield Bash mob 5 > SW > Shield Bash mob 6 > Flash > Flash

If you are a shitty tank you just spam OP or Flash. If you aren't, you do little things that make mass pulls safer or faster.

So let me try to read this again..

Gather, Use Bloodbath while gathering but not attacking so lose out on potential lifesteal > Internal Release > Overpower without maim up > Infuriate > Overpower > Berserk > Steel Cyclone still using things without maim up > Vengence > Overpower > Wrath Building using things not-overpower which is the most efficient since hp restore from bloodbath+high damage to kill the pull faster > SC

Did I read it right? Oh also unchained will always be better than steel cyclone.

Also FoF doesn't affect enmity from Flash, so if you pop it when you aren't hitting something, again, waste.
