Xeno's Warrior Opener Guide *updated 2.5

[Abbul_Stonecleaver]

I usually open with SE, and it's rarely a problem (sometimes Ninjas can pull for a second)... however, with Paladins I can't. The other night we tried a T6 speed run just for fun, and the Paladin in my static (we both have i130 weapons) pulled aggro and kept it for a few GCDs. Rafflesia cleaved the group :/

That was with Unchained + Berserk on my SE.

It's the main reason I don't opt to pull first in FCoB. I know it would be a dps increase to start the fight with Unchained and Pal Sword Oath, but I know I'd have to cripple my opener just to get the snap threat needed. So I just start as OT.

This can probably be solved with having the PLD lead with Fracture instead of RoH combo. If that's not enough, do Fracture -> Riot Blade Combo -> RoH spam. If pulling hate still happens your PLD probably just overgears you or something.
