Thread: Did 2.3 create enmity issues for tanks?

Doing Steel Cyclone + Overpower you do 1575 enmity in 2 gcds. When opening with Flash+OP you would do 1950 enmity.

Not saying you do it wrong. But unless you crit, you should not open with SC.

SC has 200 potency without any enmity multiplier. It's further reduced by defiance (however not fully). Flash is equal to 500 potency skill multiplied by defiance and not reduced by the 25% debuff. Do the math, unless you are unchained and Maim / Berserk buffed you will not do more enmity with SC than with flash.

My bad. It does more than flash then (17% more). Sorry for that.
