    You will get enmity more slowly because you are HEALING MORE SLOWLY.

    If I'm pulling hate, it's because I'm choosing the wrong spells to cast (which this change won't fix), or it's because my tank sucks (which this change won't fix), or because my tank died (which this change will make happen ever so slightly more often). This is like solving BLM enmity issues by halving flare damage.

    No, it would be the equivalent of doubling Thunder's duration and halving its potency... Except for the whole proc business that makes it a bit different. Regardless, Flare is a terrible ability to use for comparison.

    Perhaps a summoner dot would be a better choice; regardless, the point is that it doesn't really lower your enmity per Medica 2 cast unless your group clicks it off (and if Square expects us to manage enmity via having other folks click off a buff in a terribly unresponsive UI frame then I will quit this game). What it does is lower your enmity by reducing the maximum healing you can put out over time (because you only get the full healing from Med 2 once every 30 seconds). Similarly, halving Flare damage would indeed lower a BLM's enmity generated - by lowering his DPS.
