    My point stands. Good tanks generally do not lose aggro. If a DPS is drastically better geared the tank and/or has a powerful opener with minimal ramp-up, it just becomes more important that they use enmity reduction when they need it.

    So no, it’s only necessary to hold back on DPS when the tank is bad or at a much, much lower ilvl.
