Thread: [Guide] Paladin Tanking Compendium 2.0

I try to voke followed by shield lob when healers cast medica after each titan jump. Sometimes I voke too early, so maybe that's the problem too? Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work with the guide.

Note: I do not have relic yet. I'm only wearing DL/Garuda sword.

You just put Shield Oath on and spam the Rage of Halone combo, shouldn't be losing enmity in a single target fight like that.

Yes i shouldn't be, but for some reason I'm losing it sometimes. I try to spam flash, but it doesn't make sense to me for single mob tanking since it will slow down my halone combo. I don't know if it's because the healer is wearing relic/af1.5 since that's the only time I notice when lose aggro from Titan. I don't know I'm baffled.

If it's a WHM, tell them that Shroud exists. With the amount of healing and AOE healing that goes on in that fight, if they don't Shroud at some point they're going to pull Titan off you no matter what you do.

I Usually start marking the target with '1' and do a quick shield lob, approach mobs and use CoS on all of them, then i flash few times (3-4) and then i start doing RoH combo on the marked target. Rotate RoH (combo-ed) to the mobs you are about to lose aggro when applicable. When the marked target is about to die, you can start marking '2' on the second mob and start RoH combo on it.

Assuming your DPS did not AOE the other mobs and just focus their damage on the marked one. The chances of you losing enmity on any mob is very slim.

If they do AOE all the mobs, you should use Cos and Flash until oom and then start doing riot blade combo (Fast blade > Riot blade > Flash). Use CoS when CD is up.

I just got hands myself! Kinda depressing though, i'll be 6 points short of ring next week, then its 3 weeks to pants after that. Is.. discouraging. The only 6-8 pieces of loot for the raid per week is so frustrating. No possibility for vertical growth after monday night every week :/

A couple posts ago is a remark about using Provoke followed by Shield Lob. Provoke gives threat+1. Almost always, if someone is surpassing you in threat, they'll pass you within moments of Provoke. Shield Lob just isn't that much emnity. Try to Provoke then use Rage of Halone, even if it's not up next in your combo. I use Rage of Halone by itself not infrequently for this reason.

If, for example, you're struggling to keep aggro on a group of 3 mobs, do the first part like you say -- Shield Lob, SW/CoS/Flash, Halone combo on #1, then swap to mobs 2/3 and hit each with Rage of Halone only (assuming DPS is mostly single-target). If you need to Provoke/Shield Lob because the mob is far from you, know that you'll need a Rage of Halone in there.
