Again, there are points where Shirk is NOT available and the Samurai is nipping at the heels in Enmity. I've done it. It's not unheard of. With fights with Enmity resets, it makes the rotation a little wonky at times(Exdeath). However, YES, you are right that these tanks do need to use their hate combos more often, this I do agree with. HOWEVER, when you do this, guess what else suffers? Tank DPS. This is something that is indirectly being pushed towards with the introduction of Shadewalker/Smokescreen which is why tanks clamor for it. So they can continue to DPS without returning to their Tank Stances. It really only matters in prolong fights honestly. Short fights it doesn't typically matter or fights with multiple targets(Shinryu).

I only clamor for an enmity dump because it DOES happen and there's really nothing I can do about it. If the MT dies by some chance too, guess who dies next? Me.
