Holding Aggro

One trick I found to help with the hate is when theres no THF, I pull with Provoke. By the time I comeback to the camp, my provoke timer is almost unlocked and I can provoke again to get more hate. RNG and BLM also make alot of dmg so its harder to lose hate from them. Don't let RNG pull, they are horrible pullers and the initial attack they make create more hate.

I'm sorry but I am not a horrible puller and my PLD in my static PT can hold hate for me no problem, however I have yet to meet a ninja that can hold hate for any rng.

Your also in a static with a pld, so how often do you PT with a good nin? :confused:

A ninja does not become a true Utsusemi tank until they get Utsusemi: NI.

Much like with Utsusemi, a ninja can not hold decent hate without the full :NI line (the last of which is 48). So if you're in a static with a PLD, I severly doubt that you have partied with a NIN that can use all of it's abilities.

Saying that NINs are bad because you've only PTed with them before they got all the tools they need is like saying PLDs are bad, even though you PTed with one at level 7.

What the guy said about having a noob PT might be your answer. I ask my blm or rng members to hold off all attacks till my second voke, which i never do when the timer is up. I save voke two untill after i have some decent hate meaning i spam what i need and THEN we start to get the party rolling.


I've had a PT with a BRD in CN who i almost fell in love with (jk). Evenstar took time to go over the PT config and who was doing what and what songs people want played and helped fill in the gaps or weaknesses i had while tanking or if something went wrong. At times she would give me sheep mambo i think, some evade song, an agi song, and sometimes attack and acc. The only other bards i have played with and have done things like this are Atreyu, Sickboy and Angeleus and i have had MANY MANY bards in my parties.
