    Early in the game, I think 2.0, I found myself ripping threat from warriors with Sword Oath. That shouldn't be the case now.

    If you're tank swapping, remember that Provoke only puts you at the top of the threat meter.... So if the mob hasn't gotten to the warrior yet and you just went to the OT position, there is a chance that you may rip threat if you start doing your combo before the warrior can get his/her hands on it. Just play smart.

    And of course, watch your threat meter. As pointed out earlier, you can just use Riot Blade. Otherwise ending at savage blade and going back to fast blade doesn't do too much enmity wise.

    Right after 2.1 was released, there was a bug in which, if you switched straight from ShO to SwO, you retained the 2x enmity modifier from ShO. Pre-2.1, ShO and Defiance both had substantially lower enmity modifiers (I believe that the general belief was something around 1.5x), which meant that, with the extra damage from SwO and the damage penalty from the stances, tank stances only had a marginal improvement in enmity generation compared to SwO.
