How to generate more hate than a healer?

[Aegrus]

It's also important to note that overhes generate threat. It's not uncommon for some healers to spam heals, use a bigger heal than needed, or use an AoE heal when it's not needed. If a healer spams they WILL get threat.

With that in mind, you still need to generate aoe threat. As a warrior you should use overpower and flash to start. And try and get a fracture up on multiple targets(trust me it helps). As a paladin, using flash liberally is a must. If you have full mana, you can flash. Also, on all tanks, using your threat combo split amongst different targets makes a huge impact on threat and tp. Doing this ensures threat and makes the difference between an okay tank and an exceptional one.

Also. Remind healers that spamming overhes wi get threat. If they don't run to you once they get threat, it's a fail on their part.

The fact that in your OP, the only thing you did to gain threat on the other enemies is use flash shows that you are not suited to be a tank. Just play lancer or something like 100,000 other players honestly.

Provoke is beast for pulling

As a healer I can't give you advice on to play a Tank, but I've seen many situations where I've grab the aggro.
To avoid this I simply try to sleep at least one monster.
The tank will take less damages and the healer will have to do less heal.

You can put a specific mark on a monster and tell your WHM or BLM (or other class that can cast a sleep spell) to sleep him.

does paladin have an innate enmity boost? i noticed its easier to hold hate even with flash since i unlocked pld. maybe its due to sword oath? also equiping the paladin crystal increase your hp/mp. since i like to try to DD when hate is secure i equiped the paladin gem for sword oath.
