Once you have Shield Oath, Some Flash lead-instead followed by cycling through targets with enmity combo should be enough, at least in my experience.
    Oh yeah, and I try to help out new tanks when I can but you can easily out do a few flashes if you wanted (given the right job, and level range - and ofc the main point of this thread, the ilvl diff. issue that sometimes pops up). Like as BLM I could peel the entire group from a low level Paladin, I stopped as soon as I noticed that and calmed down but it was like OH HI GUYS. And it wasn't for the lack of flash, I know Paladin so I don't start aoeing until I see they grab them all first - even after he started to try and do many flashes it didn't really matter.

    It gets a lot better and easier for Paladin with shield oath yes

    But yeah you're right, no flash tries to hit each one one by one, nothing sticks - should talk to Paladin and say "try to grab everything first :3" lol. Main point of this thread isn't a tank doing something wrong though, more like the massive difference makes doing something right a lot harder and in the situation where this happens its actually the least opportune time to have it happen (new players being giving the greatest burden beyond just being new, thats a bit off imo).

    Also just to add though, using flash multiple times in a row is an incredibly underwhelming feeling. AoE no damage attack with a silly animation you cast multiple times.. choo choo! hehe. Would be nice to get some sort of change to the aoe management, for Paladin at least.
