I'd hold on the whole "END OF DAYS!" aspect of Tranquil Heart until we see what it does. For all we know, we'll only get level 1. That might be -5 Enmity for cures. Okay, so you change your gear some so you'll have more +Enmity on. Done. Now, the Black Magic aspect was pretty stupid, especially if you consider people /RDM or /DRK getting full enmity for debuffs they very rarely landed, if ever. Ideally they could've made it so you only got full enmity if it landed, but then that's also a bit of a tank nerf since you'd have to wait until stuff wore off to try again.

This is why I feel RDM should get Flash back. Still, the healer trait should not be something that's on all the time, which is where most of the ire is coming from, IMO. Sadly, there's not many ways to generate emnity as is unless they start tossing in spells designed only to generate emnity to cover the gap created by cures. Seeing that PLD is unnaffected by this, I have a feeling that is not on their priority list.

You're joking, right?

Even with Cures, we couldn't keep hate if our lives depended on it, anyway. Tranquil Heart is much less the "END OF DAYS" as it is the cockroach that spits on the former location of a civilization that has already been leveled with an atomic bomb. Since it literally serves no purpose but spite, we're naturally going to get as many levels of it as they can fit.

Not to mention, have you *tried* gearing for Enmity+ on Red Mage? Are you aware of how absurdly little gear we have for it? I mean, you would've thought that S-E would've added more gear with Magical bonuses on it that came with Enmity+ as a "downside" . . . but the only place that really happens is in mediocre Einherjar equipment with PDT+% on it as well.
