Flash only makes u equal to the highest threat, and then adds 1, so if they hit it before u do, they should be higher in threat, even after a provoke.

I think your backwards, flash only adds 550 enmity (1100 with shield oath)
Provoke is the +=1 tool

Mark your mobs, shield lob 1 as you run in and when they all come at you drop flash in the middle of them, make sure the target you shield lobbed is 1 as thats the one the dps will target first, after flash, do fast blade> savage blade twice on it, then drop flash again as by then the healer will have started to build a decent ammount of hate.

Try to position yourself with the mobs in between you and the party, that way you can keep an eye on all of the mobs, if one breaks away for your healer shield lob/tomohawk/provoke it, it normally comes back to you, if the dps is not following your marks thats not your fault, they have a deathwish, let them have thier wish granted.


If you have a thm/black mage in your party either use the bind markings on the second and third mob or just tell them to sleep 2 and 3, if you do you only need to flash once most times if they do sleep them, when 1 dies and you attack 2 open with fast blade> savage blade to cement hate on that mob first before any other actions.

When marking, if there is a ranged mob mark it as 1, it will be out of your range as you kill the other and agro the healer, if there are healer mobs kill them first for obvious reasons. Don't be afraid to pop rampart when pulling groups of 3 or more to lessen the burden on the healer.
