Relic Sword: no enmity+ ? Please add it on SE!

I hate being forced to tank on WAR anymore. Not that WAR is no fun, but PLD is dear to me and I really want it to be the best tank again.

Relic Axe has enmity+50

Relic Sword/shield has no Enmity+.

Please add it in before it hits us SE! Otherwise I will be forced into making axe my first Relic and my inner PLD will die a little more.

Heres a link to Relic weapon stats. http://mooglebox.com/122/index.php

We've had no issues with PLD tank ever since the hotfix a few weeks ago, try it out. We like it a lot better than WAR tank.

Curtana also has "Chance to Restore MP" on each hit, so that and the shield you probably won't be running out of MP anytime soon and can use a non-AF body piece. Also depending on how much Spirits Within damage is boosted, it might end up being more useful than straight +Enmity anyway since it's your best hate tool.

As a WAR, I say you can have my +50 enmity and they can give me another stat.

Not every WAR wants to tank and would rather DPS.

The fact Curtana has a 17 Base damage increase over Ifrit's Blade is a giant increase to our damage output which might overshadow any amount of +Enmity they would/could place on the sword. Bravura only gets +8 over the Ifrits Axe and no damage bonus to any weaponskills so our damage output might be a bit more comparable to WAR's at least. Anywho, I somewhat recall some talk about making the upgrades a bit more customize-able so it might change down the road.

the +40 accuracy is enough to help continue constant damage and keep enmity

I think its the basic idea that pisses me off behind the reason why WAR weapon has +enmity. I'm really confused why does SE give +enmity stats for WARs because WARs can do enough dmg to keep hate without having tons of +enmity in their gear. I'm a Paladin to my soul and my heart and I want to see my favourite Job to shine again as the main tank of the game. SE just seems to be doing it kinda hard.

Personaly, I have no difficulties in keeping hate as a Paladin. But it's just the "Giving goodies to WARs, give crap to PLD" thing that is going on that I don't like. Maybe I'm just overreacting and I'm sorry about it. It's good to let some thoughts about this out, right? :D

Id' just love to know what materia is needed to progress in the quest.

You guys have some decent points, with increased accuracy and damage, plus the insanely low delay, it might make PLD more effective because they cause more damage.

I like to think that I am pretty good at both WAR and PLD, but the way it is now I cant choose PLD if its a DPS race.

Enmity+ procs on any hate-generating ability. Between Antagonize, voke/flash, and Collusion, my WAR will keep DPS under control much better than my PLD with a PT Rampart.

Thing is, with the way battles have been evolving, I dont see us having a "stand still and take it in the face" fight where you can let loose with all your WS and such. Miser is moving around a lot, and sometimes I have to stand out of range so the MNKs are in range but nopt in the pool, and I keep breath turned away.

CoinCounter I barely hit AT ALL cuz I am always ready to dodge his swings.

Garuda jumps around EVERYWHERE.

Barely hit moogles at all through phase 2.

Chimera...yea u stand and hit it.

My point is Id rather take a passive bonus to the hate generated by everything I do, not just dmg. A lot of times you can only give that quick hate spike before they disappear or run out of range. For the quick hate spikes I see WAR as the clear winner still. We might remedy that by making our vokes/flashes etc more effective, the way antagonize or enmity+ gear does.

Thx for reading =)

spirits within boost along with the HP increase and not having to wear accuracy rings anymore is going to boost your enmity ceiling imensly, I agree for trash mobs its not much improvement but we already have that covered with flash/rampart.
