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

[ADVSS]

oh the glory days of levelling mrd, with invigorate, and never ending overpowers. if 2 isnt enough do 3, and keep a good watch on the aggro tables anyway! make sure you unlocked tomahawk, what you do, you tomahawk. close in, overpower turn the mobs, overpower 2 more times, then do whateer you want. if the blm is only single targetting then watch their target, same as brd, those two early on generate crazy enmity. it would
REALLY benefit you to get provoke the level 22 gladiator skill if mobs keep escaping you, however its not really necessary till you hit 50

the advice about shield bash can be translated to brutal swing in your case, it isnt spammable biut it will stop an escaping mob, if you have provoke you can simply use provoke and tomahawk it to bring it back to your location after it shakes off stun. often times more dangerous to chase the healer with cleaving adds, than to stop them in their tracks and then bring them back to you. as a new tank you might feel panic for losing hate, but eventually youll grow used to not panick, react snap fast, then continue, the mobs will come back, Also and decent dps or healer should bring the mobs to you instead of running to the entrance. Alot of good suggestions here, hopefully youll get better more relaxed and comfortable, panic less, and just laugh at those red line "dings" as you grab aggro back instantly(seriously provoke will make that a non issue)

forgot to mention Flash, the gld version of overpower, it uses mp, but if you are pacified after berserk, it can be a life saver to holding aggro on multiple enemies while youre recovering from pacification.
