I can not seem to hold aggro as War

[Big_Panda]

I have kept my War for high level dungeons since getting it to 60 so I might just not remember the way it was.

Since the SB launch, I always go do my daily roulettes with my FC buddies and I had lots of trouble keeping the aggro on mobs in low level dungeons (i.e. without stance)

I would overpower twice, switch to 1-2 combo for slash debuff then keep going. But I can see the DPS's aggro meter rising with each GCD and spamming my aggro combo barely keeps up.

I should mention this happens mostly with RDM.

Did War get a nerf in aggro generation or did I just forget to tank without tank stance?

I think RDM is simply a bit OP right now. I notice they rip hate easily as well, even faster than SAM do. They also tend to go single target so if you only AoE they pick one off.

RDM er very OP atm. SAM. is lackluster imo especialy in defence....and yes WAR. needs better tools to keep aggro.

As a RDM you want to scatter then instant Ver Aero/Thunder if you are attacking 3 mobs. SB does sets of three frequently. The faster you get to 30/45/60/75 the faster you can manafiction your way to 2/3/4/5 200 potency aoe Cleaves in a row.

Which doesn't really apply to the topic at hand, since it's about losing aggro in low level, pre-tank stance dungeons. They don't get Moulinet until lvl 52.

Oh missed the low level part.

The few levels before tank stance are gonna be a nightmare for everyone. With damage going back to scaling with Str, I wouldn't be surprised if it became harder to keep hate before Defiance. My advice is to use Overpower twice, do one combo, Overpower again, do one combo, Overpower again, so on, so forth. It might be a strain on your TP, but really tanks have very little tools to hold aggro in those low levels.

My advice : go back to the roots. Mark the targets with a kill order and focus on one at a time.

it's simply impossible to hold enmity against an red mage in low level content. i was spamming unleashed and still lost enmity...

Mix in a little bit of Flash to save on TP. Oh wait...
