Why the +/- Enmity stat needs to be abolished

4) Poor job direction: Putting healing on a tank for survivability is one thing. Designing the tank to encourage them to heal others is asking for trouble. As you seem to ignore this over and over, I'll say it again - the tank has plenty to worry about, and should not have to bother looking at other people's lifebars, as their job is to hold mob aggro and not die, not do part of the healer's job.

lolwhat? Wow that sounds like a hefty load there buddy! You need some help with that?

Tank has 3 things to worry about: position, hate and skill cooldowns.

Position is kinda a no brainer it's the basics of moving around. All the classes have to do it. DD have to position for weaponskills and avoid AoEs. Mages have to do it to avoid AoEs and handle when the tank gets knocked out of range.

Hate is guess what, not just managed by tanks. Mages use -Emnity skills as they are pumping cures and nukes. Other melee should also be paying attention to the threat meter.

Lastly we have skill cooldowns. You have to make sure you stay on top of your skills to maintain hate right? Well melee DDs have to pay attention to them as well to maintain high damage output. Again as above mages are dropping CDs on MP recovery, DMG output, AoE Buffs, Instant raises while casting spells which you have to be standing still for yet somehow be able to reach 6-7 people scattered everywhere.

So, If a tanks job isn't to look at party HP does that mean it's not a mages job to look at the threat meter? Or do anything about it when it starts flashing red? That's the tanks job why do I even have this stupid Enmity reduction skill. Stupid, Stupid SE...

If you don't have WHM leveled yet I'd suggest you learn the other side before having a nerdrage. It adds complexity to the game and, well, maybe you just aren't built for tanking? If I can heal 6-7 people, stay alive, manage my MP and hate generation while continuing to throw out buffs, regens and the occasional raise and nuke, I think you can toss a cure or two to the front liners.
