Enemity needs...

[BluexBird]

Ya OK so I got tired of everyone complaining about how hard it is to keep enmity, and how it's so annoying to play Warrior now because they no longer have Flash.

Well... I just went into Kugane Castle with all my VIT accessories, SIXTY THOUSAND HP!!! @__@ Told the DRG + SAM to try their hardest to steal agro from me. I pulled as many trash as I could in each phase (except during Summoners).

I lost agro once, and that was because I got distracted. I just switched to it, used Provoke + Overpower, and focused it. Nothing else happened.

So what's going on? Am I some sort of AMAZING TANK for being able to pull this off? No... that can't be it. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that everyone who has been having enmity issues, is most likely trying to tank dungeon trash in their DPS stance. Please stop.

The only acceptable way to fix this is making Tenacity as good as Direct Hit.

I've been focusing on my DRK since 4.0 early-launch and the first thing i noticed is that it wasn't a fair change:

Accuracy > Direct Hit: DPS now has 100% hit rate, and hits harder!
Parry > Tenacity: Tank Parry rates lowered, damage/heal/mitigation increase is non-existent.

But the comment about shirk was really off.

It's less about Red Mages who actually use their tools. It's not even about Scatter either. All of that is within reason. You find a Red Mage doing all that, maybe one thing will drift away from you on the rare occasion.
It's about the ones who go out of their way to pick a single thing out of a big pack and just blow it up until it comes to eat their face. But if you adjust yourself to deal with it suddenly they find themselves a new target, so you're stuck trying to keep at your aoe enmity generation while figuring out which one's bailing on the pack next. The ones that do this, they also seem to be the ones never using their enmity tools either.

Many dpsers seem to think it's cool to pull off of the tank. Instead of switching targets like a decent player, they will blow everything they have on a single target until they pull, then insult the tank.

When you are facing one mob is more than obvious duh, STOP assuming all tanks wants to swap to "DPS" stance, if you really are tanking before the patch you like me and many others noticed that something is going wrong

Also WAR has the easiest time holding aggro in groups.

Overpower 130 potency increased enmity total 650? In tank stance
Unleash 50 potency increased enemity 250?
Flash 500 potency

what I do on pulls

trash packs: unmend>1 or 2 unleash>AD till oom>hard slash>syphon strike>AD, repeat hard slash>syphon strike>AD a few times if needed
boss: dark arts>unmend>CnS>hard slash>dark arts>spinning slash>power slash>hard slash>spinning slash>power slash, usually good on threat then

Enmity*

Sorry, I had to.

2. Red Mages in particular seem to have an unhealthy obsession with trying to pull off the tank. Give them what they want: Shirk them until they learn to properly use Diversion and Lucid Dreaming.

RDMs just generate an absurd amount of hate even with Diversion. This won't fix anything.

Were these dps randoms? You need to control for if your dps are actually good or not.
