    So I guess I should have worded it differently. Something like:
    Popping FoF right before your highest enmity skill in your combo CAN result in more total enmity bonus from FoF. But it should never result in less.
    While that is more correct. Interweaving Flash into your combos has little gain over a 4 Flash burst at the start of the fight(4 Flashes is the most any trash group should ever really need and put you at the 1/2 Max MP point). The diminishing returns drop on the 12s Blind after the first Flash makes trying to use it for mitigation less than viable.

    A tank geared in appropriate level HQ gear should never lose a single target hate race with a level synced dps. Most peels off tanks are either 1. Another Tank fighting with you over who is tanking the target 2. A single Dps attacking a non-focus target.(Main reason marking the current target is a good idea) 3. A White Mage overhealing with AoE and HoTs. (Scholars split their hate between themselves and their pets so are unlikely to pull off you unless you mess up the pull.)

    The 1980/2970 enmity potency of 4 Flashes goes a long way.

    You're 100% sure that flash is a static potency and the enmity isn't affected by whether or not the blind effect applies?

    After Rage of Halone and Shield Oath, it's a joke.
    It's also a complete joke for Marauder in the early levels, especially if you can cross class Invigorate.
    But it's definitely more difficult in the early levels for Gladiator.

    Yep. Testing has shown that Flash generates 495 potency worth of enmity per use and whether or not the Blind status is applied does not effect that.
