    I haven't tanked since first Coil back at launch, but I strongly remember having to avoid using Butcher's Block combos at times to avoid ripping hate off the PLD. He had gotten his (myth? been a long time) body piece first while I spent tomes on a Bravura. It only took one moment of ripping hate off of him to cause a wipe and after that I always watched my enmity.

    I get the "it's less DPS if I don't" mentality, but let's be honest here. It's a net DPS loss for the group if your pulling hate off the main tank adversely affects the group, and most of the time it will. But that's just normal with this game compared to XI: 14's spam all your abilities as fast as you can and if something goes wrong it's the fault of the guy not giving 110% vs. 11's feeling out enmity levels and holding back on your DPS so you don't rip hate off the tank. I get that you shouldn't have to in 14 if everything is played optimally, but if everything were going optimally you'd never ever wipe in this game either. I live in (and try to adjust my play to) the practical world however.
