Off-tank Enmity Generation

[Syzygian]

snip

It shouldn't be an issue at all if the MT is in tank stance, but the issue arises when the MT drops tank stance to DPS, that the WAR has to be careful. So it is still an issue. Generally if the WAR simply watches his hate and throws an extra Eye or Path out when he's too high things are fine. There's a lack of awareness amongst some WARs that when BB spam forces the MT to use additional hate combos its a considerably larger DPS loss than a WAR using Eye instead, or Path if needed.

I dunno about PLD, with DRK, its generally best to start the fight with two hate combos and then start each new phase with one more, to top yourself up against DPS/healers if you've been stance dancing. If the WAR is rotating BB throughout, they'll have to use extra combos to accomodate the WAR.

You can have the WAR MT, and this is efficient for the WAR as they can DPS and hold hate at the same time, however you're missing out on DPS gains from the PLD or DRK MTing, as there are aspects of their toolkits that go unused (Reprisal, 210 potency, Shield Swipe, 150 potency) which again outweigh the 20 potency gain of each BB. Generally though, there's so many tank swaps in Midas that its less of a problem as the tanks essentially share enmity generation.
