    It is NOT a good indicator at all.
    Monks have no threat drop
    Bards and lancers (as well as conj) do
    Buffs generate threat, so classes who buff more often will generate more threat
    For whatever crazy reason bards in general generate more threat (keep preaching that if you want kevee, but im sure many of us have tested it. my GF's bard doing her rotation with a weaker bow (for the sake of the test) doing 100 dps generates more agro than my dragoon doing 175 dps)

    dragoon's threat drop cuts their threat in half it's current value.

    It is a fairly good indicator when you don't use enmity dropping abilities, which you shouldn't unless you actually need to use them. It's the most accurate thing we have right now. Go run some CM and have people not use enmity dropping abilities.

    Edit:

    And blitzball even states that 1 damage enmity is 1 damage enmity, unless there are modifiers.

    Quelling strikes does not "drop" enmity, so if you are already getting agro its too late. What it does is limit the hate you gain on your next strikes. So you have to use it before you NEED it.
