Everything will be more and more situational as things are nailed down and i'm looking forward to it.
    We actually do AV speed runs with only 1 whm as it is, and I'm still tanking on WAR. I'd like to go back to pld, but there's no reason to.

    EDIT: Have people actually tested enmity generation with Vengeance? The chat log states that the damage is inflicted by the mob itself, so i've always been suspicious of any enmity generation by the damage caused by the ability.

    I have not crunched any numbers but I would say it does grant enmity. I have popped Sent(or Antagonize) with vengeance and held 6+ mobs at once while DD were attacking different targets.

    It is also listed as a Counter! so I see it as the system has it down like you are doing the damage back at them.

    Ah! Thanks for the observation, even anecdotal. I'll try to give it an actual test when work gives me a proper break. It should be pretty easy. And thanks for the correction on how the log displays it, i'll admit that I never gave it too much attention.
