Is this common? It's getting annoying...

I have to stop a second to mark targets. That's hardly enough time to warrant acting like you're the tank.

ah, you stop to mark separately. okay, that makes sense. If I might make a suggestion, a certain macro helps a lot (assuming MRD/WAR, if PLD replace with "shield lob"):

/macroicon "tomahawk"
/marking attack1 <t>
/ac "tomahawk" <t>

Generally, if you are running in and overpowering and using your combo, you shouldn't need to mark more than the first target anyways, mainly because by the time the first target dies, you will already have a pretty big head start on agro for both the other enemies.

That way, you don't have to stop, mark everything, and then gear up to start attacking separately.

Hope it helps!

Thanks, I never thought of that. Only downside is that I would need 2 tomahawk slots, one with marking and one without because if I need to tomahawk a mob that joins mid fight or if I happen to lose aggro, then it would be weird to change mark to one I'm trying to get aggro back on.

EDIT: I'm on PS4.
