Is it true that holding aggro 100% of the time isn't possible at low levels?

Another reason why low-level tanking can be tough is that the white gear you get from 1-49 only have one secondary stat while Green and Blue gear has two types of secondary stats, making them stronger than white gear even when synced down.

At low levels i normally with 2+ enemies do OverpowerX2 then get maim up on the priority target and start going for skull sunder. This is of course if you're not high enough lvl to already have flash available from lvling GLD

At low levels for packs of enemies, just do the following:

- use AoE ability twice (Flash, Overpower, Unleash); bigger enemy pulls may require more AoE
- use any DPS increasing skill/ability (i.e. Maim) and maintain it if possible
- cycle through and do single target rotation on multiple enemies (i.e 1st and 2nd weapon-skill combo on mob A, then use 3rd weapon-skill combo finisher on mob B)
- constantly tab target and look at aggro meter and single target combo enemies where you have small aggro lead

For single target at low levels:

- Overpower once or twice (if playing WAR), and otherwise just do single target (i.e. Shield Lob at start of pull into Fast Blade > Savage Blade > Rage of Halone combo)
- use any DPS increasing skill/ability (i.e Maim, Fight or Flight) and maintain it if possible
