Seriously? ok:
  1. Hit the mob once then cast flash/medica2 repetitively
  2. hit the mob once and have the tank focus on a different mob
  3. be a nin and hit the mob once, let the tank get some hate then switch mobs and then use the enmity transfer ability (i dont remember the exact name)

Can it be done, yes. Is it going to happen often, no.


Friendly reminder: Tanks are always at the top of the enmity list and are rarely the top dps.

The important take away is that enmity and DPS amounts are not interlocked together. If a person wants to make an accurate statement, then accurate data is required and we cannot have that without having the fights parsed (either by SE or external). Without data everything is assumed, and will often not be accurate.

If you really want some proof of this, search the forums for smn dps posts when 2.0 was just released. None of the parsers could capture the data right, so everyone thought that the job was broken. Turned out that once the data was corrected, the mentality changed...
