    Flash, , Skill 1 on Add 1, Skill 2 on Add 2, Skill 3 on Add 3, Flash, repeat. (and the other AoE from PLD, i forgot the Name)

    I am Warrior, but i dont like spaaming Overpower, because it cost to much TP.

    and, what helps alot, MARK Primary Target.

    You can do it just fine.

    Pull enemysign 1 and enemysign 2 from your Signs menu to your hot bar.

    As the tank you are in front. Mark enemy 1 (if a group of 2) and enemy 1 & 2 (if a group of 3).

    Shield Lob enemy 1 (that gets you aggro). When they all get there, Flash the group (that gives you a little hate on all of them).

    Then rotate through the mobs putting a little hate on all of them, then return to mob 1.

    Easy as pie.

    press:
    ↓ ↘ → Flash
    this will cast Mega Flash doubling it's potency and it's radius.

    And it's fun listening to your character yell "Hadouken!"

    Can also press:

    To use Aura Cannon, a single target flash that does damage, but it only works on PS3.

    how i do it (and it seems to work fairly well), and assuming you have 3 mobs A, B and C

    1. Mark the main target (A) you want everyone to attack (so people dont start attacking everything and make aggro management even worse) with /enemysign
    2. Shield Lob > A
    3. Get in range with all the mobs A, B and C
    4. 2x Flashes and make sure all A, B and C are hit
    5. Complete a full Fast Blade > Savage Blade (and later > Rage of Halone) combo on the main target, A
    6. Use the highest enmity attack you have (either Savage Blade or Rage of Halone) on B, then use it again on C
    7. Go back to A and use the full set of combo again

    things may vary sometimes but this usually works.

    Toss in a few Fast Blade > Riot Blade combos in your rotation so you don't go Out of Mana before you run out of need to Flash.

    I have been told my method is overkill, but I don't have any trouble with tanking packs. As long as DPS follow marked.

    1. Shield lob
    2. Flash until I am down to 20% mana
    3. Fast blade, savage, rage combo mob 1 until dead.

    If 1 mob is left, fast -> riot to gain mana back up for next pull.

    If multiple mobs are left, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you are on the last mob.

    Simple...

    You could be much more efficient, flash is kinda weak and you could put your time to work with a combo rotating targets along the way. Ideally its more like:

    1. mark targets
    2. shield lob + fast blade (1st)
    3. flash (group)
    4. savage blade (2nd)
    5. Circle of scorn (group)
    6. rage of halone (3rd)
    ----

    This gives you alot of group enmity. Usually I will do the rage of halone on the 1st target and let flash+circle of scorn hold the rest, but depends on the group. Enmity mechanics: http://valk.dancing-mad.com/?page_id=231

    I think those #'s are still relevant.
