Call me resentful , but karma is just being a bitch to England now ! And I am loving it . f 7 CW 7 S 0 zxv 4 <| sep |> lol , they reported you for unjust accusation <| sep |> For trash pulls early on , I suggest using your pull TomahawkShield LobUnmend , followed by AOE OverpowerFlashUnleash x 2 . That should give you a decent amount of starting aggro . From there , it ' s usually about focusing down one mob at a time unless you ' re doing large pulls e . g . , more than 35 mobs at a time . Burn them down individually , making sure to pop your AOE every now and then , especially if the healer is over healing . If you ARE doing large pulls , then AOE as much as you can until only 13 are left , then focus them down one at a time . If you lose aggro , Provoke will barely put you back at the top of the aggro list top 1 . But generally , your aggro combo should be sufficient provided your gear is appropriate level I see a lot of new players neglecting their right side gear , which is a mistake . rings and earrings and bracelets count , too . If you ' re a PLD , use Sword Oath until you unlock Shield Oath , then use that . Otherwise , just use your tanking stanceaura once you get it .
