It's been demonstrated to be true. Shield oath is not a 2x or even 1.5x multiplier on enmity.

Do you have links to these studies ? I only remember the ones done by valk in beta 3 and have not seen any other since then, would love some hard facts on this. Thanks

i think Vlaks did an updated one and posted here a few weeks ago to show that he thinks shield oath is actuallly broken and the enmity multiplier doesn't work.

From what I briefly read he tested it using same race, same stats, same gear against someone not in shield oath and someone in sword oath. Both times the "not shield oath" pulled hate.

Search the tank role forums I think it was in there?!

Edit: Quick search pulled this but this wasn't the post i was referring to from Vlaks http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Enmity-Broken

At some point over last weekend it appears a ninja patch or something on the backend has been changed by SE normalizing Enmity.

Sword/Shield Oath Testing to be conducted this week.

Yeah, actually i wondered: what does that mean exactly ? That now the racial differences are gone at last ?

That would be my assumption. The discrepancy in the original report would've been a bug, so I assume they caught it and fixed it.
