This is not true. Generally healing enmity has a natural 0.5x multiplier compared to an attack that hits for the same number, and then that amount is split among all targets you've engaged. In the specific case of Equilibrium, it has a 0.6x multiplier, so even though its potency is listed as 1,200, it only generates the enmity of a 720 potency attack, and that enmity is divided by the number of enemies you've engaged so far. Enmity

Since Defiance gives a 10x multiplier, this would be 7,200 potency divided by the number of engaged targets, so still 1,800 per target if you've engaged a pack of four mobs. But to say it's the same as the 12,000 potency worth of enmity that a a 1,200 potency attack would generate against a single mob would be wrong.

Provoke a mob as you approach. The rest will collapse in nicely as they move towards you with sight aggro and should be lined up neatly for a drive by overpower.

This kind of thing is basically where I'm coming from with this thread. There are plenty of times where if I stop moving forward for a few seconds everyone takes that as their cue that the pull is finished, and starts dropping AoE's, popping damage buffs, etc. I like to be able to secure aggro on everything without stopping, and that's been a bit more complicated with WAR.

That's kind of what I've been doing leveling up, but it doesn't always work. It's amazing how long it takes some mobs to register the aggro, turn around and actually start moving towards me.

The key is to overpower, keep going for a bit even if you miss, inch back a bit, and hit the mobs with the second hit.

With Tank Stance on you can just pop a potion to get a momentary lead on aggro.

It won't last long in Shadowbringers content but it should still be more than sufficient until your next GCD if you don't want to ham fist Equilibrium
