It's so depressing to see something like that happened on Besaid =/

But yeah, the hate bar is there for a reason. Just because there's a PGL in the party doesn't mean you should just let loose and expect your Pugilist to accomplice it. I have no problem using Accomplice on an Archer/Mage, but what happens most of the time I'm doing something with Archers is

1.) They pull hate
2.) They continue to shoot as if they didn't pull hate.
3.) They start complaining at the fact that they have hate but do absolutely nothing to shed it.

Increasing the distance of Accomplice isn't going to fix that.
