    No one tanks. Cept the RDM, cuz in the past few 24 man raid runs all 3 tanks went dps mode, didnt wanna tank, asked them why the hell they quein as tank then? Obvious response "Faster Que"

    So, RDM tank . Cuz why not, they can do everything else lol.....ahhh if only RDM had Phalanx.....

    Eventually though one of the tanks decided to grow a backbone then tank. I swear, never gonna do 24 man as RDM or healer or other class again, just gonna go as Tank and tank all the bosses myself. Its ridiculous.

    Seen this in lv 50 raids, seen it in the 60s, even seen it in the 70s. Ah well, its really good laughs, and I play this game for the lulz and the challenge.

    Just use Diversion on a pull and then Lucid on CD. You have some of the best aggro management abilities, use them. I've seen a lot of RDMs who opened with all oGCDs in the first couple of seconds and no Diversion only to die from the first tankbuster.

    Usually it's WAR > DRK > PLD
    Enmity is directly tied to damage (1 damage = 1 enmity, unless skill has multiplier eg. Onslaught has 10) you make as well as WAR has tools like Unchained, highest damage potential and enmity tools like Onslaught with high enmity multipliers. Warrior is natural aggro generating machine and does is most feasibly.

    DRK has DA Power Slash which generates more enmity than anything else (4840 aggro potency vs. Butcher 2100 and Rage 1890) in this game as well as DA Plunge and Dark Passenger which too are no way or shape bad now.

    PLD on the other hand is the lackluster here. Circle of Scorn and Shield Swipe are very weak oGCD enmity tools (espesially latter because damage was nerfed but aggro wasn't buffed) and Rage of Halone is by far both weakest aggro combo out of 3 and punishes user far more than WAR using Butcher or DRK using Power.
