Tanking: Where's my enmity going?

[Faytte]

The solution is wear i270 accessories. The changes in SB basically mean you do not scale like the rest of the job roles do anymore, a terrible SE decision that they don't seem to understand. As content progresses and dps/healers get better gear, the issue with emnity will continue to grow more and more.

It certainly has been interesting getting used to the current state of enmity in SB as opposed to HW. hopefully the buffs to some enmity actions this patch makes it a little easier on us. But my experience goes:

-Single Target = Fine
-3 mobs = Burst dps yanks hard (RDM/BLM) mainly cause they all pick separate targets.
-5+ mobs = Fine, because your AoE threat can match dps AoE.

4.01 changes
Savage Blade Enmity effect has been increased.
Flash Enmity effect has been increased.

More tuning for all jobs to follow in 2 weeks for 1.05.

They just buffed enmity on most major abilities today in the patch. personally now i think the enmity problem is gone so atleast its a step in the right direction in overall tank balance for the time being.

For now, but what happens next tier when dps are pulling ahead again from gaining AP from accessories where tanks get none, they gonna buff enmity generation each tier to make tanks keep up? Looks more like a bandaid to me.

yup, but this isn't really the thread to be discussing that so i just kept it brief.
