But apparently, human-sized swords don't.
Selective suspension of disbelief as its finest

The last time I saw a riot blade spammer in dungeon he couldn't hold aggro more than 3 seconds, sorry but it's the truth.

1. No, no, no. Here's how your low level combo goes: Shield lob, flash x3, fast blade combo, flash some more, riot blade if 'needed,.

2. When I leveled both tanks WAR/PLD to 50 with both zetas. When I run low level R, when I help new FC members who are DPS run dungeons ect, ect.

3. O rly?

Gladiator is a very boring class to level up. If you don't like it now, you're not going to change your mind @ 50.

Maybe try another class instead. You do have that option here.

Alternatively, just power through it on PLD and enjoy the expansion content on DRK.

1. No, no, no. Here's how your low level combo goes: Shield lob, flash x3, fast blade combo, flash some more, riot blade if 'needed,.

Before shield oath: Fast blade has an enmity of 150, savage blade has 600, Riot Blade 230.

So a fast blade + savage combo = 750 enmity. FB + RB = 380.

Flash, however, deals 500 enmity.

Fast blade + savage + fast blade +savage = 1500 enmity. Or 150 ePot per second

Flash + fast + riot blade + flash = 1380 enmity. Or 138 ePot per second (in both cases, assuming 0 skill speed, i.e. 2.5 second GCD).

Note that the potency per second for a lancer using the optimal (and super simple) rotation at those levels is 83. What this means is that both of these methods are comfortably above anything a DPS can put out, AS LONG AS YOU NEVER DEVIATE FROM A SINGLE TARGET. As soon as you do, a lancer will pull aggro from savage blade. Source: Literally no tank could hold aggro on a target I focused in the first three dungeons leveling lancer. Also the fact that as soon as you drop SB on another mob, your ePot per second tanks for that combo.

So while Fast + Savage is certainly more efficient at gaining/maintaining aggro on a single enemy, pre Halatali riot + flash spam actually works fine and means you never have to worry about an add wandering off to beat up the healer or that asshole level synked BLM spamming Fire 2. Honestly, in packs with 3 mobs, it works better because you're dropping straight 500 enmity on every enemy in the pack every third GCD instead of cycling through and picking one to drop it on, risking losing aggro on your primary to the Lancer who has correctly surmised that HIS low level rotation is heavy thrust into impulse drive until heavy thrust needs reapplication. (If memory serves, the easiest low level glad rotation is actually flash x 2 -> savage -> riot -> Flash -> savage -> riot -> Flash, etc. but I've not needed to worry about that in a long time)

It's not something I'd ever recommend because it's going to form terrible habits for later, BUT pretending that it can't hold aggro is pretty silly.

@OP: Despite all that, you should stop doing that, trust me. It doesn't work once you get past halatali and it's forming bad habits for you. Plus savage blade combo is straight superior on bosses.

[Causality]

Except he's 27 on Thousand maws you have to tie in rage of Halone as well

[Dererk]

Low level gladiator dose suck I know but your still doing it wrong if you need to spam riot blade at low levels there shouldn't be so many people aoeing that you need to keep using it to get back mp. Its single target at low levels you only use riot blade to get back mp nothing more.
if your having trouble keeping hate I suggest you put some points into strength.

And on the dark knight thing its not DK that's for Donky Kong Nintendo if by chance you or any of the people who work for you see this for the love of all that is good please make a DK64 remake.

DRK it was said months ago that it needs the main story done to unlock up to 2.55 people need to just stop complaining about this.
