This thread is to discuss about Gladiator Class and it's job Paladin, theorycrafting, strategy, combo rotation, and more.
Topic debacle of the century! STR vs DEX! xD

Still waiting for legacy player discuss more about it, seam both not impact so much on end game, but which 30 point worth to add up. I more concern about end game gear which have variety types if i not wrong. One of this is skill speed. Not sure how much it will impact the game play thou. rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

I usually do this :

1) Pull mob with shield lob.
2) Start with savage blade for first attack, usually in dungeon, when pulling one mob will result in 2 or 3. (I have tanked up to Haukke Manor, not yet tried the rest).
3) Flash when the other mobs surround you.
4) Another savage blade on main mob.
5) Start rotating Savage blade on the other 2 mob.
6) Comes back to my first mob, savage blade again.
7) Another flash for insurance (Especially if you have archer in the group, they do damage real fast)
8) After that it is pretty much tank depending on situation....

I also have a habit of moving to the next mob, when the main one has less than 10% health. I start building enmity on the second, so when the DPS comes in i don't lose it.
That is just me, i suppose at high level, tanking may be totally different....

Btw, if you read the tool tip of the skill only Savage blade have additional enmity generation. Fast blade is just regular attack. So it is worth while to spam savage blade at the start to get enough hate on you...
I also agree on this, from the few dungeon i am tanking in, i have come to the conclusion that flash skill hate does not stick. It is a one time enmity generation, which loses it value over a period of time. So best to stick in a few savage blade to make it stick.

If you mean high lv dungeon, ifrit hardmode, usually paladin with be offtank so can use stun to interupt ifrit skill haha.
