Enmity System Explanation and Planned Adjustments

[THD]

Blood Pacts, Retreat, and Release do not generate enmity, and as such were not included in the list.

I believe you are incorrect. Initiating blood pacts (at least RAGE) WILL generate enmity, which is an issue, more so for soloing.

EXAMPLE: I cast Shiva. I assault, the mob won't attack me, but I'm added on the hate list. Shiva misses the mob with a melee attack. If I use Blood Pact: Rage-Heavenly Strike, that mob WILL turn on me and attack me, until Shiva pulls hate back off me.

I've been soloing on SMN since 2005, so I've adapted my strategies to compensate for the shift in hate. So I know at least the Rage Blood Pacts store some sort of enmity on me.

P.S. When will Cait Sith be released?
