Attention Overgeared DPS in AK

[Nupper]

To OP:
Get a proper weapon before you que and you shouldn't have a problem. As a war tank, I had the level 70 tradeskill weapon and I couldn't hold hate on relic users. I went and got the Garuda axe and now my enmity is absolutely solid.
Before you get frustrated, realize that this is the best place to cap myth tombstones so your going to see a lot of really overgeared folks here. This is a good thing.
Solution: mark your targets! This will help dps focus their attacks and you won't have to use as much ae stuff (flash, overpower) to keep enmity.

Mog axe here. Same tier as 'ruda weps. I always mark targets as well. Its not overgeared folks that I care about, its when their overgeared and seemingly don't know how to play.

Note that I'm talking about 'geared' people that just attack w/e they want, ignoring marks, taking like three more minutes to kill a group of mobs because of that.

Dear ALL Tanks.

L2P. Sorry, but I've had good tanks that are full AF and greys that I don't pull threat off of. I wait 5 seconds, then jump into the fray.

Sorry, but if you're a 'geared' dragoon and can't pull off of the main target for an af tank, you're not putting out as much dps as you should, and really ought to 'l2p' yourself ;p

240-250 IS enough DPS.

Honestly, tanks don't know how emnity works. If a DPS waits a couple seconds then it's upto the tank. I've had it both ways, Relic+1 Curtana PLDs i pull threat off of, AF I don't. There is some skill in Emnity.

Note that XX dps/sec is XX dps/sec no matter what I attack, only thing that bruning one target rather than 3 does is make it faster that you have less attacking you and less healing for the healer. As most healers dont dps as 1. they already pull threat from just heals, 2. often get yelled at for DPSing so they just dont worry about it anymore, the mobs take the same time to die. healer isn't DPSing (most cases in my experience in the DF) = same speed, if the healer does DPS too, then maybe its faster as the healer does not need to send as many heals.

not saying its ok to not burn one at a time, but get real its same speed.

in terms of the summon, rarely do i see it get off even with split DPS as the tank can easily ensure that ti does not get off (PLD at least), and WAR 1 stun plus aoe dmg gets it killed before 2nd attempt most always
