    Something else that many did not mention here. Some newer players (and ps3 players) tend to macro "fight or flight" directly into their first attack. You should NOT do this. Give it its own slot in your taskbar/crossbar. Popping fight or flight (or berserk for warriors out there) just before the adds spawn will greatly increase your initial damage output giving you a higher threat.

    I play warrior but use a similar rotation to what someone else mentioned. Preload your primary combo before the adds spawn (RoH or BB). In garuda I will use the charged BB combo on the add that I'm tanking. If you need to grab the 2nd add follow it up with a quick provoke > tomahawk\shield lob combo. Some people will actually macro these skills together to make it occur faster but it doesn't make much difference. Something you may want to consider for garuda EX is just to let the spiny plume go where it wants. IIRC it doesn't do any damage (it might do a small amount) and provoke it off whoever it attaches to at 2 stacks. Unless it goes straight for the MT, alot of times it will stick to the healer. Which means easy street.

    For Titan Ex I do something similar. I precharge my BB combo, press berserk, hit the nearest add, then tomahawk the far add. Once I get them into position you can then overpower/flash.

    Note: Warriors tend to have an easier time getting snap threat due to overpower and how powerful berserk is.

    Note2: In the event you don't have a precharged RoH or BB combo, a single uncharged BB or RoH will still be your highest enmity generator if i'm not mistaken. The moves potency drops to 100 but you still have the 5x enmity modifier on the skill.

    Hope this helps.
