    okay i use shield lob at least 6 to 7 times at the most, second of all i never said paladin works rude and toxic, your literally making that up. also yes i did blacklist them because i didn't wanna have any contact with someone who kicks before right at last boss, that was somewhat rude on there end.

    You should be using shield lob once in most packs and then potentially to recover enmity on enemies you lose threat on. Flash is your spammable AoE threat generator. Shield Lob does pitiful damage in comparison to your melee combo.

    I think what's happening here is pretty clear.

    OP is new and has no clue how to play his job properly, refused to get advice and came to complain on the forums because he felt the need to. Which only shows his complete misunderstanding of the game.

    @OP I strongly suggest you take time to read your skills tooltips, watch some guides about your job, because it seems you're absolutly not doing it right.

    Unfortunately, this can happen sometimes. The best thing you can do is take a look for some useful advice on what actions you were using (as mentioned, Shield Lob is good for the pull, after that you should probably Flash, Circle of Scorn, and go from there), and move on. Sometimes players just don't get along in randomly formed groups and this type of thing can happen.

    There isn't much you can do but get back in there and try again. Fortunately the tank queue is short so you won't have to wait long.

    Try Fast Blade then Savage Blade then Rage of Halone, much better damage and threat. Mix in 2-3 Flashes if in a group of enemies.

    Here is a basic PLD guide, maybe give it a read when you have time.

    Were you using Rage of Halone by itself, or in the combo(Fast Blade followed by Savage Blade and finishing with Rage of Halone - your first 1-2-3 combo)? If you were just using Rage of Halone by itself, you're losing out on a decent amount of damage(and your primary threat generator at that level). Shield Lob should be used to get the first enemies attention, then use Flash 2-3 times(4 if the mob is more than 7 enemies), then use the 1-2-3 combo on the enemies to keep their attention, and deal damage. Throwing in Circle of Scorn also helps as it's a DoT.

    Are you really only using those three actions? At 50 you get Hallowed Ground or Circle of Scorn. You should not be using only those three/four actions (Shield Lob, Hallowed or Circle of Scorn, Flash).

    Lob the group, flash about as many times there are # of enemies, and you spread your Rage of Halone combo set (Fast Blade -> Savage Blade -> Rage of Halone).

    ... did you use a jump potion?
