What happens when.....

It does? Flash as I understand it is 600 potency of hate flat, and is unaffected by any sort of buffs you have.

Unless it changed recently, as far as I know it scaled with attack power and other things. That's why Xyphon brought up the Berserk thing when using it, since it practically doubles enmity generation.

I know it used to scale off an equation that I can't find and determination was a large factor in determining the threat it produced. It's theorized that stances also affect it as it would count as an attack. So, if flash generated 1000 threat shield oath would drop it by 20% to 800 then double it to 1600. This is all conjecture from me though.

I'm sure someone here knows better.

That is indeed the case. Weapon Damage, Determination, and Strength all affected it and any form of outgoing damage increase ability (like Fight or Flight) had no effect on it (and still don't.)


EDIT: Much like you, I am uncertain how the Tank Stance would directly modify it but they without a doubt do affect it.
EDIT II: I forgot to thank you for participating in the discussion thread so I'll add it here. Much like my other comments directed toward other users, I appreciate you for taking the time to comment on certain topics of discussion within this thread. It means a lot to me.

My understanding is that flash scales on str from the testing I've done. Shield Oath also increases enmity at a higher rate than the damage loss from the stance and I don't think the stance directly lowers str but you can check in your character stats by turning it on and off. Regardless since flash does no damage it shouldn't be affected by the stance regardless aside from an enmity increase.

no it doesnt lower your str, but it does lower you attack. I was under the impression flash scaled off of attack and not str. Again I digress that I could indeed be wrong. I'd have to do some testing.
