Greetings Friends!
New and updated Warrior opener. Very similar to the one in my first video however I go a little more in depth with this one. Hope you enjoy!

and starting with eye combo doesn't give you any enmity issues?

In a coordinated group it shouldn't.

In a PUG it can, especially BRDs and BLMs getting lucky procs.

Doesnt matter if it is a pug or coordinated. I help a lot of groups with FCoB and if anything it is easier in a pug to hold aggro because the opening burst my main group produces is banana sandwich!. The buffs you weave in will help you produce extra aggro and you should not lose hate.

I usually open with SE, and it's rarely a problem (sometimes Ninjas can pull for a second)... however, with Paladins I can't. The other night we tried a T6 speed run just for fun, and the Paladin in my static (we both have i130 weapons) pulled aggro and kept it for a few GCDs. Rafflesia cleaved the group :/

That was with Unchained + Berserk on my SE.

It's the main reason I don't opt to pull first in FCoB. I know it would be a dps increase to start the fight with Unchained and Pal Sword Oath, but I know I'd have to cripple my opener just to get the snap threat needed. So I just start as OT.

This can probably be solved with having the PLD lead with Fracture instead of RoH combo. If that's not enough, do Fracture -> Riot Blade Combo -> RoH spam. If pulling hate still happens your PLD probably just overgears you or something.

I have heard of Paladins having to change their opener for this reason. Seravi here for example said he only put Fracture on his hotbar for that purpose. I could tell my Pal to change his opener and see how it goes if we ever opt to switch it up. Eventually we're gonna try the 3 Bennu push I imagine, and at that point Warrior opening would help more.

You can't really pull it off in vit gear. You have to be doin man mode war loaded with str (hybrid or otherwise)or you won't generate enough enmity of your dps aren't horrible. The str let's you get away with stuff like not open in with BB. This is one way to leverage that extra enmity str affords you.

[SirTaint]

I just pause for a split second with RoH. As long as RoH doesn't go off before SE I don't rip hate. (assuming a zerk,unchained SE)

[Ehayte]

I wish SE would give PS4 players a parse so I could test out if opening with Fracture and then ending your berserk with fracture as an OT is a DPS gain against just going straight into Eye combo.
