| In my experience, enmity reduction gear has been pretty useless, especially on HNMs where there are boatloads of hate being tossed around.
When I fight mobs that con tough and lower, I use an EQ loadout that's built entirely around -enmity, magic atk. bonus, and INT...sometimes I remove the -enmity pieces just to see if I can notice a difference, and I never can.
In an XP PT, I'll never pull hate off a good tank unless I want to...it doesn't matter if I wear lots of -enmity or none, what matters is how hard I'm nuking, not what kind of gear I'm wearing.
On an HNM, -enmity doesn't seem to really help either, and, honestly, if you log out often enough, hate should rarely be a problem unless you do something retarded like cast burst, thunder 4, and thundaga 3 all in a row. |
