Marauder Aggro?

Cana, my accessories are just the basic starter ones that give +1 all stats. Figured they would be just as useful compared to the +1 Str or Vit ones available around around the 18-ish level range. Kinda silly that every character starts off with stuff that crafted items and quest rewards can't beat until the mid to late 20's, now that I think about it...

Anyway, seems Overpower needs more spam and Flash is a good thing to get eh? Wikis say it's only a level 8 Gladiator skill so shouldn't take too long. And yeah, everyone else seemed to have matching sets of gear with more ornate weapons so definitely much higher level. Guess tonight I'll see if Flash can come to my rescue!

Thanks for the replies

Go get "Brand-new Ring" from doing the novice hall. lvl 1 ring, +3 str +3 vit (also 3 piety for your flashing). http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brand-new_Ring But, as much as you should do it for the +3 stats (and a +3 str/vit ring is technically acceptable thru lv 49 for a tank now) do it for the 30% exp bonus when lv 30 or under (or synched to those levels).

Also, overpower isn't best just for enmity, it's the best damage output you'll do on even 2+ mobs that level. Flash at start of a pull to get hate since you won't have maim up, then get maim up, then overpower spam.

I'll have to give that arrangement a try! Being able to delay overpower until after maim would be more TP efficient for those big AoE pulls where TP is an issue.

Gladiator is mandatory for at least two of your Cross class skills. When you pick it up, you'll want to get it to at least level 22 in order to acquire provoke. It's possible to level your GLD quickly with a combination of fates, hunting log, guildhests, and even levequests without ever setting foot in a dungeon.

Bare minimum you'll want to get it to 15, because you need that to unlock the Warrior job at level 30.

When you have time, you may also want to pick up pugilist, because Inner Release is a must have for Warriors. Paired with Berserk it'll become a vital part of future rotations.

You're doing well. You've got good instincts. Keep it up!
