how to keep hate as PLD?

[Hysterior]

Hello,

Just became a paladin and went for my first brayfox run... could clear it but there is not one time a mob did not go to another party member....

I checked rotations but can only find lv50 rotation... i am lv 32 and would really appreciate help to be a good paladin. How to keep all the mobs on me?

Thx....

Hello!

Shield lob to pull. Flash x2, rage of halone combo on first target, then its either flash more or cycle the halone combo on other mobs.

Seems like it id what i do but their is always one mob going out of my control amd aiming for scholar or summoner pet....

My combo is:

Shield Lob
Flash x2
Fast blade on Target (1), Savage blade on (2), Rage of Halone on (1) again. Another flash, then same rotation, but Savage blade on (3).

It should definetely be enough for the AoE dots. If the DPS focuses another target, don't be to bothered by it. I hate losing aggro, but they have no right to complain on you losing said aggro, if they don't follow your markings.

This, especially if you mark targets.

another thing to do is (I'm not sure what level ur PLD is, so ill use a general example) to start with Fight or Flight on a tough pull. That extra bump in damage will contribute to the enmity generated on the first target, thus meaning you have to focus less on said target if you need to pull others back to you.

If 2 flashes aren't enough, then do 3 (and so forth). Just remember that Riot blade combo IS useful as it generates more MP (obviously) and it hits fairly hard.

Bloodbath (level 8 Marauder skill) contributes to enmity as well.

just another tidbit to throw in... don't forget about Shield Bash (and to an extent Shield swipe).

It breaks the combo cycle, but if I'm fighting target one, and target 2 is orange (and since a dps has been wailing on it its almost dead) just stun it and let the DPS kill it.

Will try that, thx

Shield toss closest target, then I spam flash 3 or 4 times, then move onto normal halone combo.

If mobs are getting away from you, watch the threat meter, whichever one you have low threat on, give a shield stun to them and a halone hit.

At lower levels though, its usually just flash spam, then riot blade to recover mana.

Also make sure to mark targets if you are not, that way you can concentrate on which mob to put more attention on because "usually" people will follow the attack order so you don't have split damage.

I run with an incredibly skilled full i90 BLM and my tank currently sits around i70. I assure you that if you don't flash 50 times there's no chance you're gonna hold hate.

I generally run into a group of mobs and flash them to death, using riot blade to recover MP in between the later casts of flash etc ~300MP and I never manage to loose hate even when he's pumping out 1600+ Dps in WP
