Using AST's Expand in Light Party Duties

[HyoMinPark]

Out of curiosity: Care to elaborate how this is possible?

From my understanding, you generate aggro from using abilities (which gives a flat amount of aggro) and doing damage, where the damage you do = the aggro you generate. Tank abilities and healing abilities are the only abilities I know of that have modifiers. Where would the Bard aggro come from?

Bard burst is insanely high. Take my static for example. A lot of them can pop Diversion (MNK and NIN can), but BRD doesn't have such an ability to use during its opener (we can only pop Tactician/Refresh after the fact for it to have any effect on our aggro). By our MNK and NIN quelling their initial aggro, BRD can easily surpass them in terms of enmity because we don't have Diversion (because we don't need to give a job with an 8k burst any form of aggro quelling, no...absolutely not >.>). The MNK or NIN can be top DPS, but be lower than me on the enmity list because they have quelling options for their opener. I do not. (Funnily enough, the NIN in my static actually has to Smokescreen me so that I don't rip the boss off of the MT during my opener. The times he forgets to, I usually always rip hate... getting bopped by Hali or Exdeath = not fun.)
