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?

[Fynlar]

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.
