Bards and BLMs ... is hard to control your aggro?

[Nukocafe]

I got a iLevel 72 PLD using a Mog sword, iLevel75. It seems if I ever take my eyes off one mob to establish aggro on another, the bard or blm inevitably take it way, assuming they didn't take it away to start grabbing stuff before I even get started.

I am using shield oath, flash, and doing the ROH rotation. I provoke, shield lob, and then the ROH rotation to get that one back, and I lose another, and now provoke is on cool down. What gives?

BTW, this seems to happen the most with bards and BLMS. I don't seem run into this as much with the healers, SMN or melee DPS.

I learned early on that if you aren't as geared as your DPS you will lose aggro as a tank. As a BLM my tank almost never has issues keeping aggro no matter what I throw at him. I recommend getting your relic (90 weapon) which should help you keep hate

Well by the time you are geared up, you won't need really need it. So want do you do when you are gearing up?
