Just to clarify a couple of points in the Enmity Generation post on the main page... I'd like to know:
* "This icon will appear to the left of the enemy’s HP gauge" - Is this the targeted HP gauge (the one that only appear when you have it targeted)? Or the toggle HP Bar above the mob? If it were the toggle HP Bar then I'm concerned that my camera would have to be positioned in such a way to see it. If not, then no concern.
* "Blinking red icon" - Can main tanks expect to see this for the most part of a fight? It's obviously something they're striving to see. If so, does the blinking red light become like an annoying thing on the screen?
* Also, the enmity gauge is for your own character right? So while tanking I can't see the current enmity of the healers for example?
That's all.

I dont like it that you get information for everything. I think it goes to far showing the player how much hate he/she generated.

This way you can maximize the DPS, HPS, and Tank Enmity generation for a much more precise fight, and knowing how SE has done boss type of mobs in the past, it will be needed, hopefully.Quote:

07-08-2011, 12:40 AMSavThis is the first thing that came to mind when I read about the enmity meter. Maybe they should consider something else? Maybe make red=you're on the top of the list, followed by orange>yellow>green?Quote:

Needs to be a Green Smily Face, they slowly goes from Green > Yellow > Red, and the face goes from Happy to Angry. And when you finall pull aggro, steam starts shooting out its ears.

As a healer, it would be up to me manage my enmity and in times of "oh sh*t" I would communicate to the tank my hate, and he would try to perform cover or provoke the mob.

07-08-2011, 10:52 PMBlaiseLallaiseExactly. Ultimately, it's better if everyone is responsible for his or her own enmity management. Yes, there will be times of "oh sh*t" that the tank won't see coming, but when the alternative is "tank sees all enmity levels", that would just promote a mentality of "I don't have to worry about my enmity. A good tank will take care of that." That, in turn, leads to bad play habits and negative DD stereotypes.Quote:
