GLA <25 and keeping enmity

[Bardo]

Want to reiterate just a few things that have been touched on:

1) Weapon damage listed affects all of your hate generation, even flash. Specifically look for HQ crafted options, options you can buy from your Grand Company for seals, or green drops from dungeons to get the highest damage you can find for your level.

2) Use [Fight or Flight] as often as you can. It's a massive help in the early levels for hate generation. Along those same lines, you can also pick up [Internal Release] and [Raging Strikes] as cross class skills to help your hate generation.

3) Use defensive cooldowns like [Rampart] and [Foresight] on big pulls. The less damage you take shortly after a pull, the less likely it is for the healer to pull aggro before you have solidified aggro on multiple enemies.

Outside of that, get used to just tabbing around and looking at the enmity bars to figure out which enemies you need to attack.
It gets MUCH easier at 40 when you get access to Shield Oath.

Would I pop FoF just after I open or wait a few hits since that is when I start losing aggro?

I have Raging Strikes since I had to level ARC to unlock BLM. (Use it often. <3 ) Internal Release though, I'm unfamiliar with, which class has this?

eta: Actually, to my great embarrassment, I don't think I have Raging Strikes on my crossbar. ^^; I'll have to fix that.

Some people use it as they're running in to pull so that they get the benefit on Shield Lob and their first few combos for more enmity as early on in the pull as possible. But then you "waste" some of the benefit while you're flashing to pick up the adds.
Others Shield Lob, Flash, Fastblade, then pop FoF so that the first hit you get with it is your highest enmity skill. That can actually result in more total benefit.

Earlier benefit vs total benefit.
Just have to figure out which works better for you.

Internal Release is a 10% critical chance buff that you get from Pugilist at level 12.
The skill tree on xivdb is a great place to see what cross class skills are available to you and what you would have to level to get them:
