From my feeling, Shield Lob's enmity level is only about as good as two single small heals, and if I Provoke + Shield Lob, or even follow up with a fast blade and then healer cast an aoe heal or big heal crit, I'm going to lose it forever (I'm too laggy that once a mob starts to move, the next time my melee attack would possibly land is when the mob stops again even on my client I am running ahead of the mob), follow it up with another shield lob rarely grabs the mob back.

Therefore if I can help it, I'd save at least a comboed Savage Blade, or even better Rage of Halone before I need to use provoke, and goes from there to kite/position with shield lob.

Yet from my observation provoke + shield lob is the only thing many Paladins do, and they even trying to convince me that Shield Lob is the only thing that should be used after provoke.

So what is the better way here? Does lag makes that much difference? It's quite puzzling to me.
