Don't be "that DPS"

[Malicewolf]

And as a Paladin I'm not going to talk about it since apparently Malice also can't so much as to read and think for himself. He even thinks too far ahead. Leveling tanks shouldn't worry about Savage.

I can read and think for myself just fine. My opinion is that you are misinformed on how a PLD should hold threat. You're sitting there saying spamming our flash between every single hit is effective. It is not. You will take more damage than you need AND generate less enmity on the targets you NEED to gain enmity on. Flash is not an all powerful enmity generator. RoH will prove much more efficient if you know how to use it correctly. Simple facts. It's not that you HAVE to do so or that we're sitting here saying, "this is the only way". But I would never tell a new tank to spam flash that much, let alone expect an experienced PLD to do so. Yes, it's a DPS's job to burn down enemies, but there is indeed a reason why tanks don't all use flash and only flash. Because, while keeping hate is our JOB, it is not the only thing expected of us. You don't see tanks yelling out "Hey, I'm just supposed to hold hate, don't expect ANYTHING else from me" while they spam flash and refuse to hit targets for damage. I don't necessarily disagree with your points about DPS expectations, but your statements about PLD are simply incorrect and horrid. Every party differs and a good tank will vary his play style around his TEAM.

And even as a leveling tank, there are things you learn, like not to spam only flash as a PLD. While it may not interrupt your combos, it sure as heck will slow them down. You go from needing 5 seconds to get a RoH out, to this:
Fast blade - 2.5s
Flash - 2.5s
Savage blade - 2.5s
Flash - 2.5s
Rage of Halone - 2.5s

Please tell me how 5 seconds was so horrid now? Februs never said you couldn't use an AoE at the start of a pull to gain hate on everything. In fact, I believe he even gave a BETTER alternative to how to hold at the start, which required less flash spamming as you stated you would continue that combo above indefinitely until the mob dies.
