I've used my normal raid build which includes distraction, and thats all for negative hate. Normally this gets me through coupled with cover of dusk, and the other "forget the name" hate dump.
BUT
If I'm in T4, there are fights of which even the best of tanks aren't going to be able to hold it from me. Typically the tanks can hold it with no real issues, but some occasions do come around.
With that said
I find when I use my general watered down **** build, I can aimlessly hit everything as much as I want without really thinking at all. While I'm doing this, I can do just about as much dps as if I was to use my normal dps build, but have to keep a mindful eye on my dps etc. They both equate out to the same.
Conclusion?
Feating general doesn't mean bad tanks, it means you like to just chill, and not have to try so hard to obtain the same results.
