To be honest I find WAR/MRD tanking much better than PLD/GLA in terms of how -easy- it is to keep and maintain agro.
Especially once you get butcher's block.
What I do in dungeons for pulls (and not like.. large pulls LOLSNOWCLOAK)
Tomahawk.
As they run to me... OVERPOWER
Flash Flash
Butcher's block combo on main
OVERPOWER
Then use Butcher's block but start spreading it.
I shouldn't lose agro unless they're being aoe'd down and in that case a few more OVERPOWER or Flash may be needed.
Ever since 50 I've had a -lot- less moments where I go "lol wait TP"
And it's only when I've biiiig pulls and had blown a few "defensive" cooldowns.
The best thing of ST before I ditched it and just farmed T7-8 is...
Hi main tank. Or off-tanks. I realize you all want to hit the main mob squeeze. But I'd like to heal you without worrying that I attracted every. single. non-main mob. possible.
Thank you.
"/sh OTs please grab adds so people can get healed"
Edit: hehe... Mechanics from enrage.
I forgot that my WAR is STR spec'd and typically starts off with strength accessories.
Go into Moogle HM.
Be told I get King.
Forget how much damage I do cause I JUST UNCHAINED + BERSERK + INTERNAL RELEASE AAAAAAWWWW YIIS
Wait - OH SHIT IS THAT 60% OH SHIT THAT'S MEMENTO. OH FUCK ONLY ONE MOOGLE HAS DIED
"oops I forgot that I do damage..."
