GLA <25 and keeping enmity

[Ultimatecalibur]

Well, that's only true if you do nothing but Fastblade>Savageblade after popping it though right? If you throw 1 flash in there somewhere, you would come out ahead waiting to pop right before a Savage.

So I guess I should have worded it differently. Something like:
Popping FoF right before your highest enmity skill in your combo CAN result in more total enmity bonus from FoF. But it should never result in less.

While that is more correct. Interweaving Flash into your combos has little gain over a 4 Flash burst at the start of the fight(4 Flashes is the most any trash group should ever really need and put you at the 1/2 Max MP point). The diminishing returns drop on the 12s Blind after the first Flash makes trying to use it for mitigation less than viable.

A tank geared in appropriate level HQ gear should never lose a single target hate race with a level synced dps. Most peels off tanks are either 1. Another Tank fighting with you over who is tanking the target 2. A single Dps attacking a non-focus target.(Main reason marking the current target is a good idea) 3. A White Mage overhealing with AoE and HoTs. (Scholars split their hate between themselves and their pets so are unlikely to pull off you unless you mess up the pull.)

The 1980/2970 enmity potency of 4 Flashes goes a long way.
