PS3 Tanking (Paladin)

[Drjigs]

~Tanking on PS3~ It is doable (Or PC with controller!)! I've recently leveled a DD job and wanted to see how others tank throughout the dungeons. So after fate grinding got boring I would queue up for one.

While not every tank I saw was bad, most sadly were. And by bad I'm not trying to be an a**hole but some wouldn't even take advice. I've seen from PLD's not wanting to combo/flash to just using Rage of Halone spam. And a few WAR's that didn't want to overpower or combo etc. (don't know much about WAR stuff so I couldn't really help them out like PLD)

Sadly most of these players I was seeing were PS3 players. Giving most of us a bad name while feeding to PC > PS3. I like PC more than PS3 due to the UI and I like mouse and keyboard more mine sadly broke so I'm stuck on PS3 until I get a new one.

Also any feed back on how I set this up will be much appreciated! Not a big guide/how to and forum person just felt like I wanted to post it because I like this game ^^.

Anyway this won't really be a guide on how to tank more of a look at my setup and why I put it there, it may work for you it may not.


*Edit* (Mini Guide to rotation I decided to add)

What I use on AOE and ST (Don't normally flash as much Single Target)

(Combo = Fast Blade > Savage Blade > Rage of Halone)

This is what I do;
1. Shield lob 1
2. Circle of Scorn
3. Flash
4. Start combo on 1
5. After combo Flash
6. Full Combo to Flash again

After I'm done with step 6, I like to tab through mobs to see which I may be about to loose due to healer almost pulling aggro with heals or someone AOE'ing. To get them back I use either Savage Blade or Rage of Halone depending on what part of my rotation I'm on.
