How to "Pull" enemies as a Gladiator

[Shori]

Marauders have Tomahawk. Gladiators have Shield Lob. They're completely equal.

Shield Lob is weaker. IDK why SE decided that :/

Huh. Right you are. Never noticed that.

Not that much weaker, though, and certainly not enough for GLD/PLD to have problems pulling.

Yep, works well for pulling, but needs a flash or two directly after to get good enmity. It seems pretty useless for regaining enmity on an uncooperative mob though.

How well does Tomahawk do for regaining enmity? I haven't started MRD yet, so I have no idea how well Tomahawk works.

About as well as shield lob. With enmity multipliers taken into account, it's 360 enmity potency vs 370 (or 720 vs 780 with Shield Oath/Defiance). Generally enough to get something back from low in grade healing aggro, but not enough to over come bigger heals or any real DPS. Two or three tomahawks can sometimes get something back, but that's a lot of TP to blow, so I'll usually just run over to grab it with melee if the first doesn't work (until I stop being lazy and get Provoke so I can slot that).
