    Don't forget that added DPS is also a direct increase in your enmity. The more you DPS the more enmity you gain. Look at it that way instead of a mitigation ability. It's a quick off GCD burst of added enmity when the DPS will be really hammering out their numbers to get the job done, making it somewhat easier to maintain the target's aggression, especially during a non-enhanced-enmity combo.

    Well sure, but the amount of enmity it actually adds is wholly negligible, practically nothing at the last 20% of a fight.
    I mean in my experience, in a fight like Levi EX or Ifrit EX, my aggro is already well-established at the 20% mark. The tiny amount of hate it generates at that point probably wouldn't even show up on the bar.

    When one does not have enough enmity by the time the mobs reaches <1%.. Better call Houston. xD

    With several dots ticking, mobs just drop from 2% to 0%. I wouldn't mind a small change to MS to give it some better use.

    It does feel good when you time it perfectly, but it's a timed guess. I rather have something solid instead of RNG.
