Tanking and weapon level sync

[Shalan]

If we're at the point where his enmity bar is about 95% full (missing out on a combo usually means the mob attacks him) would a Flash keep the mob on me or would I lose it before I can pick up the next combo?
And I normally do a full Halone combo on the enemy, just sometimes I switch it out and do Halone if I'm about to lose a mob to another player (sometimes DPS isn't attacking the same target). It wasn't something I had to do often but I put it in anyways.

I should probably add that I didn't lose aggro to him much (the bar was just on the borderline of losing the mob) but the few times I did lose it are a few too many imo. Just want to try and avoid such things in the future to give myself more breathing room.

It's generally better to do a combo than a single non comboed skill. You also you should be poping fight or flight as you are pulling. That should give you some help with the enmity since more damage = more enmity.

A shield lob gives you 120 potency attack with increased enmity vs a 100 potency with increased enmtiy that is an uncomboed halone. So that might be the better choice. For provoke you should if you are not mid combo a provoke then shield lob(provoke only gives you highest enmity+1 on the mob so need to follow it up with something extra) if you are mid combo like you did a fast blade and now have savage blade or even are ready for halone do provoke first then halone(if in range) that will give you all the enmity and a large chunk of a head start.

But yes I've often had it said that gld/pld should be using flash in between combos. How often is usually left to the player to decide but I'd say something like fight or flight, shield lob, flash 2-3x, full combo on the pulled one twice, flash, if can do a full combo on another else keep repeating it combo and flash.

The problem is also that DPS don't often take into account a tanks relative gear and skill differences so don't ease up a bit.
