Turn 5: Do WHM's pull hate from you, Tanks?

[KyahAlmasy]

While it's hard to say without having been there personally, you should never assume you don't need to worry about enmity. It's something you should always watch for. Also, if he was a warrior, it's sort of possible he wasn't just spamming his enmity combo, perhaps opting to weave in a 10% damage debuff. Again, without being there, can't say.

He did mention that he was trying to do more damage, and that he should have been trying to do more enmity combos, which most likely led to my pulling.

And don't get me wrong, I always watch my enmity meter. But in all my experience with healing, especially in Turn 5, I've never jumped up from yellow, to pulling before. Especially so soon after having shrouded. And as a White Mage, we have very little room for Enmity management when we have to keep everyone completely topped off while helping heal the main tank or else they will go splat.

Oh I know, I just don't let myself think I won't have to worry about it. It's just one of the many things I constantly pay attention to. Like pulling from one of the tanks in Thornmarch EM as a Scholar.

But yeah, he likely shouldn't of been trying to do more damage unless he knew he had a large lead, but the 10% damage reduction combo finisher is nice to have when he can get it in.

Hehe Scholars are lucky because they generate so very little Enmity in comparison to White Mages who are enmity sponges. But yeah, I just felt it was a little abrasive for them to throw me under the bus for something like that. >.<

I was actually pulling flashing orange on him as Scholar, ie I saw it happening before I actually pulled. Also, with a single target like Twin, you can target her quickly during casts to see where you are in relation to the tank.
