A Quick Tanking Question

[NocturniaUzuki]

Hello.

I started tanking recently. I've more or less got the hang of it now, but there are minute things that are bothering me, including:

1. Do tanks naturally build more enmity than any other role, even when they are not using enmity-building attacks? I'm just curious, since I seem to be holding my own, aggro-wise, with the DPS players, even when I'm not using enmity attacks. In non-trial/raid situations, I often turn off tank stance after establishing aggro and use my defensives to offset the loss of the stance's damage reduction in exchange for higher DPS; in the case of DRK, this means I'm only using my Syphon combos, so I build no extra enmity). For example, for leveling dungeon bosses I will start out in Grit with two Power Slash combos, enhanced by Dark Arts. After that, I'll turn off Grit and go full DPS while covering damage reduction with my defensive cooldowns, since there are typically no critical mechanics to save them for otherwise. By the end of the fight, the DPS have often caught up to my aggro, but it takes them the entire fight to do so. If the DPS are good, I sometimes need an extra Power Slash combo at the start to make it until the end without switching back to Grit.

If anyone could answer this, that would be awesome.

Thanks.
