Enmity

[Zagen]

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what kind of damage do you think a single hit is going to do to gain more enmity than a Cure IV?

- First it isn't just 1 hit. While the spell will cast within in the time of 1 hit you aren't accounting for the delay the game adds when you cast a spell or use a Job Ability which adds up to 2 and 3 sings every other cast or so. My PLD still needs improvement in DD gear and I can do 100-150 damage a swing in Abyssea not counting Crits which thanks to RR happen a lot, sorry haven't paid attention outside of Abyssea but I doubt its gonna be lower than what I can do in Abyssea.

- Second you aren't accounting for a Joyeuse OAT proc if you're using it or a Double Attack or a Triple Attack proc.

- Third the TP gained from these hits you miss will mean reduced TP gained which in turn means reduced WSs. Atonement was great back in the day for the 750 damage it could do but now in Abyssea a DD geared/Atma'ed PLD can pump out 1.2-1.8k Vorpal Blades or Sanguine Blades. 3-5k Chant du Cygne if you have it.

I don't know about you but that all sounds like Cure IV just helped cost you a lot more enmity than it could have given you.

Don't get me wrong it is great in a pinch to cure you but for hate gain it hurts more than it helps.
