    Even if its not displayed, knowing how it works makes it easy to do in your head.

    If I was the gladiator in that instance and I know Provoke does 5000 Enmity Damage and the archer did 1000 just now. I know Provoke will compensate and give the hate to me.

    Having it visible will allow a player to see that
    1. They are exceeding the limits of what their tank can do, and need to hold back till the tank can reaquire an amount of enmity to maintain hate.
    2. Prevent overnuking that results in hate bouncing and needless death because a caster wasn't paying attention.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Indeed, and I agree on all your points as you see them; i'm just of the belief that party members should be able to do that without having to see the display for it. By learning thier job and abilities.

    At this point it has nothing to do with learning the job or abilities. we know outright damage will always do 1 for 1 enmity conversion. so it doesn't matter if I'm an archer or a Pugilist. 1000 Damage hits are going to do 1000 enmity as well.
