PLD Enmity Fix: Enmity on Block?

[Freyyy]

The base idea is neat but it wouldn't change anything against magic-based enemies and would on the contrary give PLD an incredible edge on physical-heavy fights with a fast-hitting boss. The threat generation of a tank shouldn't vary depending on the encounter IMO.

Well of course it would need to be tuned. My thought is that the enmity gains would be set to be just high enough to make PLD competitive enmity-wise with DRK or WAR while tanking mobs (that deal mostly physical damage), and would allow PLD to keep up on bosses that deal physical attacks. They'd still lag behind a little on magic damage and casting enemies, but the amount of purely magic-based trash mobs is extremely low (I can only think of a few instances where the entire pull does magic damage). Just a thought, though. It wouldn't do anything to PLD gameplay, and would address our AoE enmity issues fairly nicely.
