Enmity Meter: Add a Gold Star

[SpookyGhost]

I mean, it would be fine if they did add it as it wouldn't really harm anyone, but there is an indicator next to each person's name in the party list that shows just how much enmity they have on said monster compared to you. I'm not sure why anyone would need a gold star to verify that. Though I do think the idea of a gold star for enmity is cute and I would be cool with them changing the red symbol to a gold star. :P

I think you misunderstood. There are two enmity meters. One is in the party list next to the HP and is very accurate, but only works for the monster that is hard-targeted. There is another one in the enemy list that changes colored symbols depending on enmity generated.

Assuming you're tanking multiple mobs, aggro on all of them should be roughly the same. If you're fighting 2-3 you can tab target between them to check enmity (which you should do anyway to spread your aggro combo). I suppose it could help in T12 for Bennus due to how the mechanic works in that phase but outside of that I can't see the gold star being beneficial. I'm open to hear examples of it, though - not trying to write off your idea just dunno if it's a necessary QoL thing.

Assuming you're tanking multiple mobs and everyone is aoe'ing them down, aggro on all of them should be roughly the same.

Single-target attacks and auto-attacks can cause wild fluctuations on each enemy in a group. Even with aoe's, any critical hits in the mess will immediately bump up the user's enmity on those targets, but not the rest. You also can't soft tab through the enemies to see how much they have at a glance. You have to hard target, which can change your facing, which then changes the order that the target marker tabs around, which can make it a pain just to get back to an enemy that's suddenly a blinking orange arrow (or worse, a yellow arrow) instead of a square because you took too long looking at other things.

I would really love to have that soft target show the enmity so that I can stay on my current target (and continue auto-attacks if nothing else) if the rest are still doing okay. It would also help me decide faster what's a priority for Savage and Halone when I'm swapping between two to four trash mobs. Alternatively, having a reverse threat meter (preferably with different symbols/colors) would also help with hate tracking.
