"Go easy, DDs" = Issue

It sure is, isn't it? In fact, I think gear is important for most classes. I think it's pretty much impossible to max stats without materia. And it's not really worth the effort and gil right now. So why even bother right?

Full darklight + maddening potion + jewelry its possible to reach nearly +250 enmity which is 25% increase. Last I checked a +25% increase in anything from gear is pretty damn good.

I don't have issues with threat at all, in fights like ifrit its safe to allow your DPS to start right after you spirits within. As long as you're using both vokes on cool down using wardrum on cool down and goring blade combo on cool down, you should never lose aggro. At least I've never lost it to dps during the fight.

I take issue with this thread's title:

Pld: "DDs take it easy." = Fine.
War: "You wanna DD on all cylinders? lol like i give a shit." = Not fine.

Enmity should be a something DD should have to manage regardless of tank.

Last I checked full darklight + maddeing potion + jewelry is pretty damn hard to achieve. To be fair, +enmity is good if your DDs are hugging the hate ceiling, but I suspect too many try to use it as a crutch when they should be looking at their hate rotations instead of worrying about miniscule effects from hate gear.
