Had an experience today with some DPS saying i suck and some other choice words so here i am.

How should i go about marking targets?
-Right now i have it set to my engage macro which uses FoF, FB if melee or SL from range.

What is the best way to hold hate on a group?
-normally i use SL, run in and flash, run to anything not hit by flash and use SB if one target or flash again if more than 1 are in range. Then flash another 2 times after i have everything on me. After that i just try to hold hate on one at a time and hope the DPS are fighting the same thing i am.

How do i make my provoke macro work?
-current setup:
/ac "Provoke"
/ac "Shield Lob" <tt> which i have read is targets target, but the problem is that i get an error saying <tt> isnt a valid target.

How do i make a cover macro work?
- in FFXI i used <stpt> but same error with <tt>.

Any advice is appreciated. Despite the encounter i would like to continue as a tank and get better at it.
