    Which tank generates more hate/aggro?

    So imagine there are 3 tanks in the same party (warrior, paladin and dark knight), all of the same level, ilevel and gear, all full STR specced and with dps accessories. All in their tanking stance and doing their best aggro combos. But nobody uses Provoke. Which tank will be on top of enmity list in this situation?

    Is there one mob or twenty? Because that matters.

    Also: a DRK out of mp is pretty useless for enmity.

    I think DRK would come out on top for a single target if you use DA on Power Slash.

    Think a good idea would be to go into a primal set to hardmode with 2 friends (maybe a healer too) and give it a shot. Report back with your findings :3

    DRK because it can keep up its DD and tank stance at the same time.

    WAR can spike an enormous amount of enmity in the time that unchained is active, but after that a DRK will pull ahead.

    PLD is not good at generating enmity.

    I never had issues with PLD. Even not while DRK or WAR was the other tank.

    That's because they aren't in their tanking stance and they aren't using their enmity combos.

    I would presume warrior due to higher DPS, all other variables being equal. Dark Knight seems to have rather high enmity generation though so it would be close.

    As someone who levels all three (main gearing a warrior) I'd place my money on Dark Knight. A couple DA Power Slashes and you're golden.

    IMO DRK is great for enmity, because of Dark Arts + Power Slash and AoE gives huge enmity.
