So yes the new enmity system works, but to me its not only boring, but SE failed to get Fun to Meet challenge with things like skill and timing. Instead the challenge has become to tell your healers to not heal and your DPS not to deal damage. As for me the tank, my challeneg was learning which enmity skills worked and which were useless, once I weeded through them and threw out the ones that were virtually pointless and added the ones that worked, there was no skill or timing really. Its too damn easy, and shows total class and ability imballance, and sucks all the fun out of the game for DPS and Healers. To me they should have went with more reactionary abilities as opposed to just boringly building up hate. And while I am not advocating DPS and Healers being able to go nuts, there should be more wiggle room. Like a skilled Tank should be able to rip hate back from a DPS that gets a little trigger happy, and a skilled healer should be able to help a tank that slips. This would foster teamwork and make battles a little bit more chaotic and adventurous. This is just my opinion and people are free to agree or disagree, but the enmity system is complicated in figuring out the dos and donts, boring in its skilless process, unballanced and unreasonable in enmity vs abilities vs class, and frustrating that some classes cant do what they are supposed to do (poor healers and DPS).

Typical Enmity 101 field lab.
Tone it down while I get hate, whoa wait a sec PUG that autoattack is too powerful use your sissy slap ability instead! CON dont bitch at me because you died, you shouldnt have thought about casting that Cure 1 spell, the NM is psychic and it new you were thinking about using cure. Guess youll think twice about curing next time....... wait scratch that, thinking about it twice would just mean youll end up getting double weakness.

Maybe I should use my 2 sure fire tanking skills over and over like a mindless zombie and learn to love it? Or maybe we could create an accomplice enmity chain....... which effectively limits my role as tank? Or maybe I should switch to CON and just cure bomb tank and laugh at the GLA as he fruitlessly tries to get hate back. Thats it!!! Ill become a plate armor wearing CON and spam cures for hate!!! In your face GLA!
All good ideas.

I would pay to see how they pan out.
