Do you have to hit the mob with your main hand weapon for it to take effect or does just having it make an effect?

Performing any action on the mob that would put you on its enmity list will put TH on it. Even a completely missed ranged attack probably still works, but don't quote me on that. Resting near a mob while your party fights it would put you on its enmity list, but that probably doesn't work for TH.
Subbing /WHM and casting Diaga on a crowd of mobs will put TH on all of them, for instance.

Was under the impression they nerfed the "Diaga", or any "AoE" Method sometime in 2005 back when BLM/THF's were mass farming that way.
Guess a way to test would be have a THF with TH7 Diaga a mob, then have a THF with a lower TH Hit one til it upgrades.
Either way, Any direction action that places you on enmity list works. provoke, steal, whiffed boomerang, so on.

I can verify that hitting mobs with an aoe weaponskill still works. I've put on all my TH gear and Aeolian Edged a group of mobs in dynamis before, and later had TH8 proc on a mob that had only been hit by Aeolian Edge and I wasn't wearing all my TH gear. I haven't test, but I figure something like diaga should work the same way. And yes, wiffing a ranged attack counts as applying TH.
