is there a point to using Royal authority in your pally rotation?

You dont need some absurd 300 THOUSAND enmity lead to afk until shirk is up. You just watch the stupid bars and if they are close, you make enmity. If they arent you dps. Yall really trying to over complicate this.

While your first statement is true, the "300k aggro" isn't absurd. It's literally DRK MT opener (4 GCD under Grit). It isn't necessary but it makes sure those "oh-shit the garbage-RDM didn't use Diversion on pull" moments won't happen.

Maybe it's a personal preference, but I always make a bit more aggro than necessary when playing with randoms. Some people won't use their aggro-dump abilities because they don't know they are useful, some people won't use them because "lol ur tank, it's ur job to keep hate, u don't need diversion". Sacrificing like 200 DPS to avoid potential wipes (or to avoid retards arguing over who's fault it is) is worth it imo.
