    Tanks using their enmity combo while being OT

    Could you stop this? I see a lot of tanks doing this, mostly WARs. You have no need to be doing that while you're off tanking. The only exception are PLD since they are reducing physical damage a boss does, but they shouldn't be spamming it. Tanks wonder why they're ripping hate off a MT, that's cause you're doing it on purpose.

    These cases can most often be fixed by communicating, as some newer tank players aren't even aware of this. Just let them know. I'm more concerned with those who put Provoke into their normal rotation. Although I haven't seen this happen lately, fortunately.

    What? You realize that Warriors MUST use their Aggro Combo as the every other Combo right? Its their highest Potency path... I mean you have a 60 Warrior...

    Heavy Swing -> Maim -> Storm's Eye
    Heavy Swing -> Skull Sunder -> Butcher's Block
    Heavy Swing -> Maim -> Storm's Eye
    Heavy Swing -> Skull Sunder -> Butcher's Block

    ......

    Unless they are delibrately being lazy and just spamming the one combo...

    This. If they are in deliverance and ripping hate from you doing this combo, either you are doing it wrong, or their gear is far better than yours and they should be MT in the first place.

    You don't have to use BB every other combo, you can just replace BB with SE. It's a 20 potency loss, but it's better than ripping aggro.

    That said, if your OT won't stop and you can't keep aggro off them for whatever reason, then just swap roles.

    Yeah, those guys that play their role well are such idiots...

    I understand your complaint if they are doing it in tank stance, but if they are in dps stance, you need to adjust your game.

    It's 30 different for path and 10 different for eye so an average of 20. I don't think I've ever had this problem and I OT with my DRK tank buddy quite a bit. Is there a gear difference or is this pick up parties?

    They already do an attack with a potency of 500, plus with a damage increase of 85%. 280 isnt that big of a deal. And i never called them idiots. Calm down.
