Tanks using their enmity combo while being OT

[Lyth]

There was recently a discussion and analysis on this subject: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme..._their_threat/

Here's the summary:
The highest potency combo on WAR is also their highest threat combo (with an inbuilt enmity modifier of 3x on the second hit and 6x on the third hit). The same is not true for PLD or DRK - the highest dps combo for these classes generates no additional enmity. It is an overall raid-wide dps loss for a PLD or DRK MT to use their threat combo just to hold aggro off of an OT WAR spamming BB/SE (i.e. we can do it easily, but it hurts our dps more than it does yours). It is also a raid-wide DPS loss for PLD or DRK to OT, because every reprisal proc is equivalent to 9 BB combos, and every shield swipe proc is equivalent to 5 BB combos. If you're about to take aggro as a WAR OT, either weave in an SP combo to boost healer dps, or if the thought of a 40 potency loss every 3 GCDs is too painful, just double SE and take a 20 potency loss instead. Your raid group will love you for it, and you'll get to feel almost as awesome as you did before.
