    There are 2 enmity meeters, the green/yellow/orange/red next to the enemies in the enemy list... and the bar/number next to player names in the party list (which relates to the enemy you are currently targeting) you can use the second to determine how close you are to losing hate, but it could be easier to see for various targets.

    I'd like to see the enmity colors reversed for tank.

    Green circles means you're doing just fine...
    Yellow and Orange triangles show up when somebody has 50% and 75% of your current enmity... Somebody might be about to steal it...
    Red Flashing Square only shows up when you've lost aggro. What are you doing!? Re-establish aggro! AAAAH

    Maybe it'd be too confusing for people who do both tank and healer. But... they're already complete opposites. Shouldn't be too bad.

    No need to reverse the colors. Simply make it the flashing icon when you're close to losing hate, rather than close to getting hate.

    That would certainly be better than how it is now, but I'd like it to be more flashy if they made it that way. Colors are easy to spot. The shine is something I'm liable to just filter out or miss completely.

    The bar next to the player sometimes is simply not enough, when you are in trash mobs, for example on my BLM, sometimes I can go from Green to Red/Yellow to Red in an instant skipping colors altogether, and coming from both a dps/tank, the info simply is not enough and the tank won't have enough time to pre-emptively get enough threat. And as people have suggested, a flashing icon would be a great help to make it more visible for new/current players.

    Or maybe have a percentage next to the enmity list colors. Complete threat = Color Red 99%, and goes down steadily as the person with the highest threat on that mob accumulates threat(excluding the person that the mob is already attacking). So if you see you have Color Red 10%, its time to focus more on that target(s).
