Why does a paladin resort to trickery?

[Digirotta]

Also, I despise the whole "it's for when you lose hate" argument. PLD should not be losing hate. I don't need tools that are only useful for when I lose hate, because my goal is to NOT lose hate.

Tell that to Coincounter in Aurum Vale, maybe he'll promise not to use Animal Instinct. Also, remember to /bow to the King Moggle.

That's what Voke/Flash is for. Most hate reset moves are full party hate reset. Yes, you lost hate but so did EVERYONE ELSE.

I can almost guaruntee Voke/Flash is up, but not that I have 2000 tp. Not to mention, when losing hate in that type of situation my first thought is not "OMG I better use a WS" it's "I better Flash/Voke to regain hate"

There's just too many tools for the scenario when we lose hate, and what most people are referencing here its for when someone else pulls hate, not for when a mob resets hate. Voke and Flash are plenty to regain hate so that you can start tanking normally again. Dealing with hate reset shouldn't be an issue if you're doing your job right. Animal Instinct should be happening right in front of you, and in moogle you should keep the center of the arena in your view the whole time you kite, so the second you see king with green hate running to the middle you should be able to get it back without issue.
