PLD and enmity after update?

[OfftoRuin]

Just ran Halatali (hard) and on the 2nd boss and for most of the dungeon really the monk ended up tanking and I was basically useless the whole dungeon.

On the 2nd boss the group let me tank it for a full rotation afterwards the monk ran in and with 1 ability went straight to the top of the hate list. I've never lost aggro on a single target fight to anything and I really don't think I've ever lost aggro to melee dps before (black mages occasionally). It seemed like the only ability that reduced/increased aggro was provoke, shield oath didn't make a difference (switched between sword oath and shield oath, no change in damage in damage dealt/received). I tried using flash to pull the boss off the monk and after 7 times in a row (wasting my mp bar) I was finally able to pull hate for a few seconds before it switched back to monk.

In group pulls I tend to start off with 3 flashes/CoS then alternate between enmity abilities and flash I can normally lock down groups of enemies and not worry about loosing hate. It was definitely different this time around, I was wasting my entire mp bar in almost every fight and was barely staying on top in some cases losing hate entirely.

I've had monsters flat out turn away from me as if I were boring them, right after wrapping up a hate combo. I don't know what's going on, but something definately changed with the patch.

Disagree. I was holding hate vs. our i97 BLM in T4 farming last night just fine on PLD. Haven't noticed any increase/decrease in enmity gains. Also was T5 OT Farming with a random pug last night, and I was easily passing the Warrior if I remained in Shield Oath, and kept slightly under pace for Sword Oath. No problems to speak of on adds.

Sounds like the previous bug they 'fixed' that Faeye and Kitru are bringing up. Perhaps it's ghost is still in the system causing havoc. I haven't had any issues personally with zoning in and out, but sounds like there might be exceptions happening.

For funsies to try and solo the Gladiator enemy in Halatali Hard, I did a run as WAR before, then PLD next. The only difference between them right now is my WAR has Zenith and 90 head gear, PLD is the same otherwise plus Shield of course. I noticed I was having some hate issues with the Dragoon on the team, and I mean, I start a fight, Flash three times, with Shield Oath, start making my rotations, and something was already going after him. My PLD is item level 89, that's not awful, and a DRG with near similar gear as me was pulling off extremely easy, same with the Bard in the party. I emptied MP several times trying to hold and kept losing it anyways, RoH combos were barely affecting my enmity, only if I was wailing on something for a minute or so with no one else, like the final bosses when you tank the caster and the creature who's race I can't remember right now, was Enmity being maintained.

If something wanted to convince me to stay on WAR it certainly has now.
