Hello, all! I'm newer to this game but not new to tanking in general and I have a question.

I recently got into a friendly argument with a fellow tank in my FC about Halone. They claimed that Halone gains the added increased enmity outside of its combo and should be used upon first pull because Fast Blade doesn't gain much enmity as it is a weak attack, but the tooltip for the ability doesn't reflect this.

If that is true, wouldn't just spamming Halone out of combo be better than doing the full combo? That doesn't sound like what the game wants me to do. Savage Blades tooltip is worded the same as Halone and I've been told it's enmity increase is NOT applied when used out of combo, so why would Halones work that way?

I also think that if Halone does not apply it's enmity increase out of combo then Flash would be a better starter (after shield lob of course) before starting the combo.

Can anyone confirm how Halone actually works?
