    All I can think is that perhaps you don't have Relic + 1.
    The hell does relic +1 have to do with spamming flash while getting ballad?

    Flash enmity is effected by your weapon damage but it shouldn't be an issue regardless. With Ballad up spamming Flash will give you a decent threat margin to work with.

    I'd like to see some test results on that. Could give me a reason to get my +1 sword or buying more Valor/hero pieces.

    There has been theorycrafting done on it. Google it. Flash is affected by not only weapon dmg (as is all our threat) but by str as well. In my current gear I get ~750 enmity per flash on all mobs. You can see exact numbers if you go into turn 4 and flash a soldier since you take dmg equal to the enmity gain

    Is that right? I was wondering about that... Good to know! Thanks for the tip. I'm at about 750 as well then, really good to know.

    It seems like it has to be based on str/WD as well. The other tank in my coil group does not have +1 and is a bit lower in str (I have str melded rose gold) and he cannot out flash me, period. I take all 6 bugs in phase 1 of t4 and he cannot take them off of me without halone.

    With that in mind there HAS to be some sort of enmity scaling based on stat differential.
