So, what about tanks below 30?

Is this legit? I've had a hankering for brownies lately, and this sounds perfect.

Of course it is legit. Takes little prep, no time at all to bake, and you have awesome brownies in an easy to carry form without burning your hands off.

I have to try this now...

Yet another Eorzean saved by the sweet, warm embrace of the brownie god.

Works perfect, though get a smaller mug for this.

I got Toto-Rak for my leveling roulette with my PLD and had no problem keeping hate.

This thread is now about brownies in a mug. Let's make this thread at least somewhat useful.

Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder
2 Tablepsoons Vegetable Oil (screw that, be a real man and use some butter)
2 Tablespoons Water
Dash of salt
Mug (obviously)
Microwave

Mix that crap in your favorite mug and nuke it for a minute or so. At least you get something of better taste than the ideas this guy puts out.

Instruction not clear, wiped at second cocoa powder phase.

He forgot to mention the egg!!!!!

Wiped to a Culinarian failing their skill roll.

They're fine maybe actually play a tank and progress as one before you start making assumptions, aye?

[Fynlar]

Rolled Halatali NM in my first mentor roulette as PLD.

Holding aggro still sucked, but it always did for PLD pre-Halone, to be honest. I'd wager I'd have been just fine on WAR, what with Overpower being... overpowered, and all.

That's all I've got to say about that

STR tanking damage got nerfed. Lower levels, tanks probably got a damage increase, due to their VIT being higher then their STR, and tanks generally using VIT accessories anyway.

60 VIT tanks got a big boost to damage, why would 20 VIT tanks be weaker...?

The OP was surprisingly astute. I just finished grinding out a new toon to 22 in GLD for provoke today. He does okay with marauder (naturally) but playing GLD was just awful. Six dungeon runs and it was the same story. If I couldn't pop fight or flight, I wasn't going to hold anything. Not very fun.

That's always been the case, hasn't it? If FoF isn't available, lead with the skill with the highest enmity modifer (probably Savage Blade) regardless of combo, and flash a couple of times. The trouble at that level with Gladiator is remembering to flash liberally and use the Riot Blade combo to regen MP toward the end of each fight. I don't find anything astute about the OP because holding hate was always a pain in the ass for Gladiator, if for no other reason than we have the lowest damn attack, and enmity is based off your attack strength. Key thing for GLD, upgrade your weapon *every* chance you get, it really helps in th lower levels.

Because the OP doesn't understand (or remember) GLD at low levels?
