RE: A Nervous Paladin's Plea - How to Make Friends and Flash Enemies - Steel Wolf - 02-10-2014
Yea, I'm aware that Fast isn't an enmity generator. The operating mindset being that Flash, Circle and Spirits are significant enough to have annoyed target #1 to allow me to burn Savage on target #2 for the enmity hit, and Rage on target #3 for the enmity hit. Tied that with another Flash on top, and I have seen mobs stick to me like glue, barring the prior mentioned AoE-mad BLM.
Of course, I adjust when situations arise--as I mentioned, I push a Flash up if I see bars are filling faster than I want, and Circle does keep on cooldown--didn't really specify that one in my initial rotation post.
Of course, if Spirits is better saved for when I absolutely need a Silence hit, I can adjust my rotation as necessary. I know Spirits isn't an enmity generator on its own, but it's extra damage--that hurts more because I enter the fight at pretty much full health--that seems to help keep target #1 on me to allow me to rotate to the other targets.
....I like talking shop, obviously. XD
Oh! I also should mention, I am eager to add names to my list, especially with folks as helpful and willing to take my derpy self under their wing. It really is appreciated. <33

My loladin(I call my subclass pld loladin) rotation is normal combo on the main focus of the party, keeping CoS up and just spamming flash, I usually keep hate pretty well, unless a SMN or BLM is in the group then I'll do the swap targeting stuff.. :3 But I'm a derp as a paladin just thought I'd share that.
You can add me to your friends list if you want despite me being your mortal tank rival! Mwuahaha! -raises axe- :p
I've been thinking about making a LS something similiar to Balmung's Finest but with the primary focus assisting players who are unable/learning to do Trials (hardmodes/extremes) but at the same time making sure they are learning the mechanics and their class roles for whatever reasons, like yours Steel. This has been floating in my head the past month or so as I run into people who still need help with stuff.

asdf hi
I tend to have a foreveranxiety about going into new content, or stuff I haven't run in forever as well, especially when going on my tank classes. C: If you ever need a healer to accompany you, though, hit me up. I'll keep your butt off the ground and stuff. \o/
As for tanking advice, you seem to be doing pretty close to what I'm doing on mine so I can't really help you further. o 3o
That and I'm a noob tank anyway you don't want any advice from me LEL
