Reminder that war is still good.

[Reynhart]

if you want to talk about enmity combos, that is an entirely different issue that entirely depended on party. If your OT doesnt know what shirk is, add 3gcds to everyone. Nothing to do with how long it takes to build up to max damage.

I'd say that the job still have a lot to do with it. A WAR could open with Eye combo in Defiance without losing much damage thanks to Unchained, thus, gaining the necessary enmity, then switch to Deliverance without losing any GCD.

No other tank could do that before.

For pld to be at max damage, they just hit FoF before goring. 2 whole gcds, and still doesnt have anything to do with 'ramping'. […]Ramping means you need time to build up buffs.

So, PLD needing 2 GCD to make the most out of their damage boost is nothing to worry about but WAR needing 3 is unnacceptable ? Like you said, PLD has to wait for their "big hit", WAR doesn't have to do that. Which means that what you lose at the very beginning is largely negated by being able to pop all subsequent burst with no preparation whatsoever.

TLDR: Enmity has nothing to do with ramp up speed. It has to do with party dynamics.

Job don't perform in the void. Like someone said having to spend 3 GCD for preparation is not an issue when party buffs are supposed to pop around that time.
