After running endgame dungeons for a few weeks as PLD, Ive gotten to thinking... why is our hate combo so back-ended? TBH this is not a huge issue, but it is a sticking point for almost every time a new mob needs to be aggroed after you finish a Halone combo.

Here are the simple numbers.
Fast Blade, 150 pot, 1x hate mod (no mod) = 150 hate pot.
Savage Blade, 200 pot, 3x hate mod = 600 hate pot.
Rage of Halone, 260 pot, 5x hate mod = 1300 hate pot.
Total hate pot = 2050. Of that, Fast is 7.3%, Savage is 29.3%, and Rage is 63.4%.
In other words, Fast Blade generates so little aggro, that a solid heal can pull the mob off you. We need to get off Savage Blade for the hate combo to be remotely worthwhile. *Also note that Shield Lob is 120*3=260 hate pot, twice that of Fast Blade...

My suggestion is as follows. Change the hate mod coefficients to make the combo's hate generation less backloaded.
Suggested values:
Fast Blade, 150 pot, 3x hate mod, 450 hate pot, 21.5% of total (calculated later)
Savage Blade, 200 pot, 3x hate mod, 600 hate pot, 28.7% of total
Rage of Halone, 260 pot, 4x hate mod, 1040 hate pot, 49.4% of total
Total hate pot with new hate mods = 2090. 2% higher than original coefficients.

As you can see, with the suggested hate mods, all we really did was move a chunk of Halone's hate to Fast Blade, giving us a significantly larger buffer on that first hit so we can actually land the 2nd hit, not chase after the mob while the healer runs.

For maximum hate generation, you still need to use the entire combo, so we wont run into the issue of people spamming Fast Blade like idiots. But this just helps smooth out the hate generation process.
Besides, what dps class has a rotation where the 2nd hit is 4x the first, and the 3rd hit is 2x the 2nd? Even BLM, going from 0 stacks of Astral Fire to 3 stacks, will only see about a 2x increase in damage from Fire.

Just food for thought. If people agree on this, then it should be a fairly easy thing to change. Of course, these values should be equally relevant to Warriors as well.
