[dev1289] Job Adjustments

When you are discussing the ability of a pet to tank - then yes - enmity is definitely a relevant factor and not an irrelevant tangent.

It's typically irrelevant in the context of how we're tanking. In SMN's case,typically you're only tanking against other SMNs, people who know what's going on and control their output accordingly, etc. PUP can generate plenty enough enmity with the release of the 2nd strobe attachment (and keeps itself alive with repairkit regen, repair oils, and also cannibal blade healing it for like 1k and never missing). The only difference with BST is it doesn't have to do anything to tank. The reason it's an irrelevant tangent is because it's irrelevant to the fact that tanking on the other pet jobs (except DRG) is possible.

In shorter terms, the simple fact is PUP can tank when geared properly. SMN only ever has to tank against itself and/or probably other SMNs, and is perfectly able to do so.

No it isn't irrelevant.

Enmity is a factor when it comes to considering how effective a tank is. That's just a fact.

Detailing different strategies of tanking doesn't change that.

No. Enmity has nothing to do with considering how effective a tank is. That's just a fact.

The only thing that matters is did you survive, and did you win. If I"m with a healer, a buffer, and some pups and SMNs, how much enmity does my pet need to generate? Answer: Not a lot

The overall quantity of enmity is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that it's more than what the other party members are generating. I don't care if your BST can generate 87324687324687324 points of enmity and my puppet can only generate 7324687324687324 points. As long as nobody died and as long as he kept the mob's attention, the number is irrelevant. I really don't give 2 farts how much enmity you generate.

The actual amount of enmity only matters in attention-getting contests (I won't risk using the more popular terms on this forum). I'm really not even sure what the point of your comments are. Maybe you want to argue BST is the *best* pet job for tanking. While I don't agree, that's something that can be debated. At issue here is the simple fact of whether or not other jobs can do it and the answer is yes.

Of course it does. One of the more ridiculous things I've read in awhile.
