Paladin emnity generation is terrible

[saber_alter]

huh. i have no problem generating AOE threat against multiple targets against full dreadwyrm, and can easily hold hate against a single target in the same scenario...

this sounds like a personal problem.

I find tanking as a PLD next to impossible because a DPS will seemingly always rip aggro away.

Then I try spamming flash 4 times and it's just... ugh.

Not to sound like too much of an ass, but you're not playing the job correctly if you lose hate that easily. Sure, WAR generates hate faster, but if you know what you're doing you shouldn't have trouble establishing and holding hate with PLD. I don't have any issues at all, and PLD was the first class I leveled when I started this game. No issues for me.

WARs opener is slower hate then a PLDs. It's not until their 6th GCD that they pull ahead.

I only played MRD to level 15 so I really don't know the ins and outs of it very well. I just figured that with Overpower generating hate and doing dmg at the same time would make hate generation faster compared to Flash. But like I said, I don't know really lol

Very large difference between MRD at 15 vs level 50 rotations.

You're actually correct in that at level 15 MRD with Overpower against dungeon mobs is going to generate much larger threat than GLD, but it's got nothing to do with an opener for a raid.

Interesting. When I'm playing paladin, I have no trouble at all keeping threat. When I'm playing WAR, I have no trouble at all keeping threat.
Protip: GIT GUD.

It was mentioned earlier in this thread, but I'll repeat it. If you just came back and have lower ilvl weapons, you're going to be tanking on hardmode for most group activity. I'm with my ATMA weapon (ilvl 102 ave) and as a WAR, I still have a little trouble sometimes with the DPS that brings the BOOM. Just hang in there till the expansion resets everything and you'll be fine.
