PALADIN TANK HELP, PLEASE

[Melagrath]

Hello!

I am a lvl 50 Paladin ilvl 120 and I am having tons of issue lately keeping aggro,
I know my rotations well and use them as they are appropriate
Dungeons(groups)

Shield Lob
Flash
CoS
Flash
then RoH cycling through the enemies

Bosses
Sheild lob
Spirits Within
CoS
RoH

I have been noticing, with the Shiva fight in particular, that even if i do multiple RoH combos I end up losing Enimity very quickly to the dps and occasionally healers. Any idea what im doing wrong? Thank you

Usually its a gearing issue, but if you are ilvl 120 you shouldn't have any issues. I'm only at 113 and very rarely have issues even against higher ilvl players. Are you using shield oath?

Looking at your gear, it might be your weapon, you may need to get that higher in ilvl. Oh and maybe get some strength accessories, it helps.

It's your weapon.

Also, if you're not already, pre-pop Fight or Flight on bosses before you pull.

i90 wep (Atma is only i100 in ilvl, the stats are of an i90 wep) won't hold hate against i130 weps, especially with full fending accessories.

Can't help with out more info like your gear il 120 is too vague are you using full fending gear on you right side what weapon are you using are all your bonus stat points put all into fending?

Grab a soldiery 110 weapon or a poetics 130
You will notice a huge difference but can still work on relic On the side

And yes pre cos/flash popping fof increases them
Don't know how comfortable you are with everything you have to tank but I have full 30/30 str points on both my PLD and WAR

There's a 110 weapon for soldiery? I've only seen the Weathered Noct Hoplon and nothing else.

IT's the vendor on the left, it takes a tomestone which drops from Syrcus Tower (or SCOB), plus a sands, which also drops there (or SCOB), and 7 Rowena's Soldiery Tokens at 130 soldiery each.

What the poster above me said. Fight or flight shoud be used in openers as well. Usually I throw shield lob, fof, cos, then roh, with spirits within thrown in as an opener for shiva. Only time I have ever had any issue was with a dread warrior who burned allmhis cooldowns just to troll. For accessoiers on shiva I'm using three hq 110 slay/fend with the opposit materia melded in and two 130 fending. I swap out the fend acc for 130 slaying where it allows.

Ah, so that's what these unidentified nonsenses are for.

[Syfer22]

Weapons are important, yes. You can also get decent weapons from Shiva and Leviathan.

As a new tank, I'd like to pick the brains of people more experienced than I -- I noticed he does Flash, CoS, then Flash again, followed by RoH cycling.

Why does he do Flash again after the CoS? Is it better to do RoH --> Flash ---> RoH ---> Flash cycling once the fight starts going underway, and Provoke + Shield Lob if aggro is lost?
