Shield Oath @ 30.

[Eul]

It's really easy to keep agro on brayflox, you only need at least 2x Flash and give enmity skill to each monster.

For example, there's 3 monsters with mark 1,2 and none. Give mark 1 Fast Blade and Savage Blade, after that give mark 2 Rage of Halone, and then Fast Blade and Savage Blade to none mark.

At release shield oaths hate bonus barely kept it equal to sword oath and on single mobs it just didn't, pretty much the original concept was the hate bonus evened out the damage loss.

It was buffed later on to give more hate but if you couldn't keep agro at 30 as a paladin then you likely weren't going to keep it at 40 either.

I'm pretty sure defiance got an agro buff as well because I don't remember dps sitting at 5% of my agro in brayflox when I leveled war on my first toon, but my 2nd one once he hit 30 was untouchable for agro.

I guess what I'm saying is, get over it because it could be worse.

Ahh AoE tanking, your best friend as Paladin. It's the one thing my friend taught me to use often to help keep aggro steady on all targets. I even use that trick (but no Flash) on WAR, it helps conserve TP that would have otherwise been spent on Overpower.
