Still, cover is a 3 min JA. A THF Could quite likely retake hate in that time. But it can help buy time, assuming you and the PLD can coordinate and position for cover.
Neat, I didn't know it transferred current built enmity to the PLD. I'll need to train up that PLD then. But even still, I died in that fight and came back and took hate again at around 25% hp for AAHM, and that was with the PLD never dying and me resetting hate earlier in the fight. My point still stands that we really do not need +enmity.
