Why the +/- Enmity stat needs to be abolished

[XT_hydra]

i think emnity property in item//skills should be replaced by MP regen / DPS//LVL
and monsters aggresivity based more on regenerative skills
by adding a universal skill for either attack//defend//heal that use both MP and TP for DoW and only MP for DoM
and materias for absorbing elements
see my Crystal skill post if you think that can make sense

*bump*where skills to add MP wasnt meant to be.. but materia yes

soo , still not stacking enmity in every slot i can and managed to hold hate well enough to down garuda to 5% in less then 5mins, we wiped but thats because the dds where holding back , i think maybe worried that i wouldnt be able to hold hate well enough. dose that poke any holes in your theorys yet?

Oh and, enmity is officially second class enmity building stat on pld. Mind dose way better and when I can no longer stack that I will start stacking healing magic pot. grats on all the enmity again. things may change in 2.0 curious to see how things change, but as it sits, mind> healing pot > enmity for hate stacking. you can go with a dps set up but thats a diffrent tank then myself and all I can say is it apearntly takes alot of acc , damge, str and even some crit stacking to make it worth while. Think I will stick to just stacking mind and healing pot, leave space for not getting hit like a bitch

And we've come full circle. You've heard nothing said, ever, in all those threads.

Update us when you get Garuda down, or don't since we did that months ago. Catching up there Ace!

Hello again, and yes I have seen and fully understood what you were saying, I just completely disagree with you. It is YOU who cannot come to terms with this fact. Like I have always told you, if it works for you , great, but enmity is NOT the best, much less the only way to keep hate even in elitest groups. Stacking HP is also not the only way, much less the best way to add survivabilty to your tank. We can argue back and forth all day brother. Fact is, When my DDs are ready, and up to snuff, we can zurg as good as any other group. Our issue is not skill or understanding of the game, its time. None in my static have the time to spam dungeons/boss fights, spend countless hours crafting and gathering to make triple, quad melded gear. once we figure out a strat that works for us and are geared properly, we get the win. Nothing more to be said realy.

Hey ace, what's your hit rate on garuda with 352 melee accuracy?

[GreyJorildyn]

You could just say you're terrible. That would be really satisfying.

Put the game's most amazing tank, the most amazing DD and a mob to hit in a room - If the DD doesn't hold back, and uses no hate management tools, they are going to pull hate.. Regardless of the tank's gear / skill.

Enmity gear is nice to buffer those situations (especially on fights such as Chimera where melee damage is useless, ie the tank is relying on Enmity tools + ENM gear)...

Not to mention, every well geared job has multiple gear sets with a heavier weight on certain stats in certain situations - not just a tank..

A DD needs heavier accuracy for Garuda / IE, they can choose to go for a full stat cap / attack build or a crit hit rate/power build.

A WHM can go for a VIT / HP set, MND/HPot, or a nuke set..

BLM can build an AMP, INT or ACC set - and have all those to take into account most fights anyway.


Each job has certain situations where weighing in on a certain stat is more effective, and anyone with decent gear / player skill will know this.. As said previously it's all about~ Balance.

You are also basically removing the player's ability/choice to customize their stats to their play style..

On a final note - if you are wearing PVE gear in PVP then I would love to go woop your butt in the PVP arena.
