Is it getting harder for tanks?

[MoroMurasaki]

It's not Third eye that does the enmity reduction.
It's merciful eyes, the heal.


And, technically, using merciful eyes is a reduction in damage, as Seigan is more potency per kenki than Shinten.

I admit my understanding of MNK is limited but I am pretty sure Forbidden Chakra is more important than Seigan/Shiten optimization on SAM by like a huge amount. Like they aren't even in the same ballpark.

The question wasn't one of how important the optimization was, only that there was a trade out of dps for enmity.
As this quote asked..

...
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?

Samurai's new enmity reduction is just that.


I was also correcting the incorrect information presented here which stated...

...
Third Eye simply needs to be triggered by aoe damage
...

Which does not account for the new enmity reduction for Samurai, as it requires Merciful Eyes, and it's not Third Eye that procs the enmity reduction.
