That's what has me at a stand-still in regards to my Skirmish Axe (finally got one). At first I thought adding more enmity to it would be good... but then I found out how much enmity is really generated. Sure, the effects build and stack over time, but as long as the WAR keeps landing Skull Sunder in his combo and using Flash/Voke/Rampart/Sentinel whenever they're available, there's no problem.

I realized this when I was tanking Garuda last night. Even though there were 3 decked out BLMs nuking her to kingdom come, me in my single-meld tank set was still able to hold the hate for the entire fight as long as my Skull Sunder kept landing (which it did with ACC food and a BRD song).

The +Enmity does help, though. +2-4% Enmity increase is better than 0%. My question is whether or not it's worth it compared to just adding STR/ATK to it depending on how your Max stats are. I know for a fact my VIT is fine, but my STR needs a boost.

And of course, I already have the Storm Lt Axe.

ARG! I'm just going to keep researching this and just keep fighting Garuda for that Axe. Too bad my teams seem to get killed during Phase 2/3 all the time. x.X

Damned Harpy.
