Why am I always losing aggro on Ultima Weapon?

Cool. Much appreciated. I thought I was doing pretty well but obviously I still have alot to learn!

Hardest part is getting everything I want to use on my bar. Im starting to feel like my PS4 controller is holding me back :/

Level 50-60 Warrior skills line up pretty neatly with the skills you've been using all along, so if hotbar switching isn't difficult on a controller then perhaps you can make a mirror copy of what you already have, but replace Inner Beast with Fell Cleave - for example - and then macro both your Defiance and Deliverance stances so that switching between them automatically changes to the appropriate hotbar for you. It's not unlike what I did, though I am a PC user so I can't comment with any certainty on how it might work for you.

In any case, the fact you are asking questions alone and are very receptive to advice is more than enough proof that you're doing pretty well. Warrior is a very interesting class that's less forgiving than the other Tanking classes in my opinion, but I'm sure you'll so great ^^

Shouldn't use provoke at pull. As a war? I use tomohawk, then brutal swing off gcd then overpower. Then start my butchers block combo.

I would literally have to stop a sec dumbfounded as to why someone would do this on a single target if it was done this way. Probably fail at dodging for the next 10 seconds or so because of it too.

Okay? It's never failed for me before... sooooo

For the unique case of Ultima Weapon in Praet, you can cross-class Flash instead of Second Wind. Since enmity from Flash is not based directly on damage, you'll be able to blow all your MP while it's still invulnerable and maintain threat against healers that don't know the fight (or want to troll and spam aoe heals).

It was an unnecessary over exaggeration ; You shouldn't worry about it.

Thank you, but it's all good. I appreciate feedback even if it comes in the form of complete douchbaggary. The Opener i use is for dungeon bosses where i don't have all my cooldowns up so i just pull. Most of the df dps are absolutely terrible anyway and even pulling in deliverence the way i do is enough to keep hate. On trial bossed and raids yeah i pop my cooldowns and pull big, because i expect the dps to do the same.

Actually quick question on ultima weapon, since I never run it on PLD anymore.

Does flash still get through the damage resist and generate the same enmity because it's not based on damage? or does ultima still "dampen" that too?

Flash is generally superior for tht exact purpose and I'm little curious is it can apply here...

I'm one of those tanks that everyone hates. While I am strong in the enmity department, many people don't like that I drop my tank stance. That said, I generally have no issues losing hate on a mob in any content.

Hardest part is getting everything I want to use on my bar. Im starting to feel like my PS4 controller is holding me back :/

I use 4 bars:

1 is my main, which has my Butcher's Block combo.
2 has my Storm's Eye Combo
4 has my Storm's Path combo
3 has my stances (Defiance, Deliverance, Unchained, Infuriate)
8 has my Defensive CDs (Foresight, Vengeance, Inner Beast, etc)

The combos for 1, 2, and 4 are all on R2+X, Square, Triangle while the other slots on that bar houses abilities like Berserk, Limit Break, Provoke, Brutal Swing, etc.

My defensive CDs, as noted above, are on Bar 8, but some are macro'd. For example, Holding L2 then holding R2 brings up Bar 8. I will press X twice for Foresight+Raw Intuition, or pressing Square twice will give me Thrill of Battle+Convalescence. Why the two macros? Because the cooldown on both abilities (Foresight and Raw Intuition, for example) are the same.
