There's no need to do it. There's no need to lose enmity. Yes... we all know that other jobs have 1 or 2 abilities to help with enmity, and use them they should. However tanks have more because it's their role to control enmity. I fail to see how many of you can't understand basic fundamentals of a 3 job battle system. If a tank wants to go nuts on dps go for it, but not at the sacrifice of enmity because then they become useless. I suggested they nerf stances in PARTICULAR situations so you don't have chaos in situations because a tank would rather dps than control enmity.
    People have reacted poorly to your suggestion because it's unnecessary and, frankly, nonsensical. Jobs aren't balanced around content where this is even an issue because any healer or dps in Savage worth their spot uses all the enmity tools at their disposal to make their tank's life easier since it costs them nothing or next to nothing.

    You got someone in more casual content who either expected too much competence from their party (anticipated you all using enmity reduction skills and you didn't) or just didn't know how to play their class. Neither of those things mean the natural conclusion to jump to is "Nerf tank DPS stances!!!1" they just mean watch your enmity better and sometimes people suck.

    Basically like... move on?

    So, again, if you take aggro from your tank, it means he does something wrong.
    No, you should not be doing this. Even in Sastasha you have Tomohawk or the PLD/DRK equivalent - that is what you are pulling with, not Overpower/Flash/DRK Aoething. It is literally not a thing. Stop misinforming people please.
