So if you are a tank that does everything right, but you have a GC ilvl 50 weapon and they have relic +1 and pull agro, you're a bad tank?
Blanket statements are bad.

Sorry but, enmity generation is something a tank does, its not something they manage.
They don't raise, lower or siphon.
They mash their combos/AOE ability and generate it.

Pardon but in EQ, enmity was not listed in any of a DPS' abilities, but what do you know, DPS had to help manage threat.
This was the same in WoW's early days of tanking, where management of agro was really beyond the tank.

It fell down to the DPS to hold back and not generate too much enmity.
I fail to see why you are so intent on arguing the matter.


Tank's dont do squat for enmity management.
They don't decide anything, let's not pretend they do.
