    Low level PLDs do have legitimate difficulty pre-tank stance. At 15 running Sastasha on my PLD I could barely keep up with the healer and dps using my enmity combo (pre-RoH). My gear was about as good as you can get at 15, mostly stuff that actually drops in that dungeon + HQ level appropriate gear. People saying enmity issues are just being undergeared must think you are only allowed to run dungeons once you have out leveled them.

    That being said, I don't think this issue is related to the "nerf" as PLDs appeared to have the same problem pre-patch. Personally, I like the change to focus on Vit, I've always felt that it was weird for Str to be the focused stat on tanks. Feels like something unintended.

    Fast Blade > Riot Blade does more damage than Fast Blade > Savage Blade. Before Rage of Halone, and even for a while after, you should be Flashing away between 50% and 66% of your MP and then recovering it with Riot Blade.

    "Sure if you want things to die super slow" is the reply I usually get to that, but the tank's job isn't to kill the things; it's to make sure the things don't kill everyone else, and the 175 potency per GCD a GLA can do with Fast Blade > Savage Blade is nothing compared to the potency per GCD lost by healers and DDs when the tank isn't doing his job.

    Void Ark parties have no tanks; only crazy pullers trying to steal aggro from each other.
    Fighting over aggro is cool for first boss, but no! "They see me tankin'; They hatin'!" They will spam RoH and BB whole day long. I am changing music to "Neverending story" each time this happens to feel more like i can carry on.

    Oh, and when they finally steal aggro, they face boss to the party, so all could notice they did it. Not like using cooldowns or doing MT job. Playing like "I didn't expect i will have aggro so strange!"
