Riot Blade kind of sucks because paladins don't use that much MP. Also most people overuse Flash. Unless you have like one way overgeared black mage and your other DPS is a Ninja or something, you don't need to Flash 6-7 times like some dudes are saying. If a monster has 10,000 HP, for example, the most enmity any DPS is going to generate on it is 10,000 (plus a couple hundred for abilities, but that's negligible) - and that's if one DPS does ALL of the damage on it. If both DPS are doing equal damage, they'll each generate 5,000 enmity on that 10k HP monster. Flash does 600 potency. Go into Shield Oath and hit something with Spirits Within, then multiply it by 4. That's how much enmity your Flash is generating in Shield Oath. To hold enmity you only need to be 1 point over the next highest, so if you don't spam Flash and pace yourself instead, you can save MP, maximize your blind uptime, and deal more damage.
