Stop adding +enmity to our gear!

It's AAHM, all melee need to go /nin, so yes I was /nin with shadows up. Not much you can do about melee attacks shredding a couple shadows and swift blade though. And cover would only give me a few seconds to be alive, as I'll die right after it when I have more enmity than the PLD. We didn't have a SCH. And that's exactly my point about the merits/gear. I shouldn't have my best DD gear have +enmity. I am a DD, the abilities they have given a THF for hate control are massively underpowered at this stage, especially when it comes to dropping hate (since Hide doesn't work on almost every boss). The +enmity on gear works against me as I attempt to be useful to my group, it needs to get off our gear.

Cover has an enmity transfer mechanic. Every time the PLD takes dmg while covering someone, a portion of the covered players enmity is transferred to the PLD. The exact value is unknown, but it seems to be a pretty decent amount. Typically after covering someone the receiving player won't be the mobs target anymore.

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.
