    As WAR or DRK I never had that issue though, the aoe enmity plus damage was enough and felt better than flash haha (although I must admit I haven't leveled warrior or dark knight through the powercreep gaps of 50/60, so it might become an issue). To be clear I mean losing hate no matter what you do when there is an ilvl gap, I still noticed that things are really close even though they were easier - unusually close (like holding hate in a EX / end raid is easier). Was worse on Paladin though. Perhaps its always Paladin issue while low level + leveling lol.

    As Paladin I could use like one flash if the group wasn't synced down to the dungeon but if they were then it was flash party, and fairly tight (I can see new Paladins not seeing this step right away, and not wanting to do this as well - cause its boring lol). So I agree that just because they CAN peel doesn't mean the tank is bad, but I would suggest that a Paladin could probably hold hate even if a burst class tried if they're not the lowest lvl/ilvl in the group - except feel very bored doing a flash disco (like when I go back to lvl 20 sycned, it's no longer a thing). And making the ilvl gap less of an issue would make flash party less of a thing I think, although I still feel Paladin's aoe management could be made more exciting.

    If that was confusing basically = agree :P
