Is it getting harder for tanks?

If I had to lose a Forbidden Chakra use because of enmity I'd rather die anyway.

The struggle is very real.



Seriously though, why Purification of all things? No other class with a dump has to literally trade a DPS skill to reduce enmity do they?

Because the devs don't care about uptime and saw Purification was scarcely used. Now if it only took one or two Charka stacks, you could make an argument since that puts it roughly in the same spot as Dragoon. You have to delay Forbidden Charka slightly in the same way Dragoon loses uptime if they have to Elusive mid-combat. Still by no means ideal but certainly better. Now the only time I'd ever want to look at Purification is during long phase jumps where I can quickly cut aggro and get five stacks back again. Looking at Savage, hmmm

Phantom Train: Possibly can do it either when killing them Chimney or right after, assuming Ghost cheese
Chadarnok: Nope. Straight DPS loss; tanks adjust.
Guardian: Maybe when he's flyiing up?
Kefka: Should have enough time during Graven Image
God Kefa: Tanks adjust

Kind of ironic the easiest and hardest fight this tier are "tanks adjust" when involving Monk.
