so i decided to get my gld up as well alongside mrd, but had so much trouble tanking in sastasha. here was what i did:

1. shield lob
2. flash when mobs are near me
3. fast blade > flash > riot blade to balance off the mp consumption. before anyone says anything, this was the ONLY way i could hold hate from groups of mobs... the moment i was unable to execute this rotation mobs would start running everywhere :/ and that was exactly what happened sometime: i would miss a stray here and there, so as i was running towards the mage trying to do a flash, i would break my rotation... and hate was just bounding all over the place... i didnt even have time to reposition myself because running to a new place = not hitting and not flashing = no hate = sucky tank...

normal? i had an easier time on mrd for sure
