Ty pixel that's what I was assuming just the guy melding was trying to argue with me on the priority.

After dealing with Turn 4, I'll have to revoke my previous statement about Curtana +1. That makes life a helluva lot easier.

Haha! Welcome to the converted. Glad it helped!

Hello! anyone kind enough to post pic of Heavy Allagan on Hyur midlander woman please? ; ;

or Link would still appreciated

Been search all over internet and I can't find one....

Mostly directed at Pixel, but of course others are welcome to offer input.

Forgive me if you think this is a little off topic, but it is a thread about teh basics of pld.

I'm sure you've noticed that if one tank engages a mob, another tank, engaging at seemingly any time later, can catch up tot hat first tank without using provoke. There was a thread a while ago that got like, nearly no attention, talking about the apparent disparity between hate earned by different plds using the same abilities. At the time, I didn't really take it very seriously, as it seemed bizzare and illogical. He seemed to think it was random/based on race, I think it has to do with relative hate positions betwen the two tanks.

I think a very clear example of this is in Twintania. One tank picks her up, the otehr goes off to adds, when that tank comes back, usualy about 1-3 minutes (depending on yoru group) has passed. Despite this huge lead, the second tank can chase down the first tank's hate (usually by the time of the first conflag). It seems hate gains normalize the closer second place gets to first place. I think maybe its based on like, a percentage of main tanks threat?

I've seen this in other fights, but it just seems so strange. I wonder what the math controlling it is, why it happens, if its intentional.... if there is a way to use this system to leapfrog hate gneration between two tanks to generate more total hate than one tank could.

TL, DR: Hate generation seems to be increased for the tank that does not have the most hate. The amount of the increase seems to be larger the greater the disparity between the tank with the most threat and the one with less.

Questions: Why? Intentional? Do dps / healers receive a similar hate generation buff?

coming to this thread late, and a tanking noob, but if enmity works anything like FFXI then 1st tanks enmity would be reduced or offset by the damage he takes from the mob, so if 2nd tank isnt taking direct hits, the 1st tanks generation will be slowed in comparison. again, just a semi-educated guess
