Such a thing as Too Much Enmity?
My question is, is there a enmity cap when it comes to gear? like how there is a haste cap on gear (unless i'm hearing wrong). This is the set i use when there isnt someone to TA me in exp pt's. Do i have too much? for being a 73 PLD as hume. However based on pt, i'll switch sword and shield out as needed but with each provoke, mainly earrings, rings, neck and feet & waist get macroed in. Everything else changes based on if acc/dd set up or more vit is needed or w/e. So if there is a enmity cap, am i hitting it? or do i just have too much and overly concerned with holding hate for a normal exp pt? I think the main issue here is that you're playing PLD.
Yes there is a cap +100 -50.
Edit: fixed +enmity Also I hope that is to macro in for voke/flash. Lose the sword and get joyuse on. Get a DD build, use razed ruins and DD atma.
I'll be shot down with this (mainly due to the fact that when I actually played PLD was a long long time ago).
A good cure swap macro is all you really need. Any additional +Enm will help, but a PLD with a good cure swap macro will always out perform a PLD who doesn't cure swap and sits in +Enm gear. Not having a go at you, just stating how I played a Taru PLD back in the day. I didn't stack Enm on every piece but tried to have it on as many pieces as I could without sacrificing essential stats. Have a good balance of Haste/Enm/Dmg- and you should be good. Cutting down on Flash/Utsu timers will help you a heap. Leviathan.Draylo said: Also I hope that is to macro in for voke/flash.

You'd be better off getting hate from meleeing when you can. Cerberus.Eugene said: Leviathan.Draylo said: Also I hope that is to macro in for voke/flash. Lose the sword and get joyuse on.

Yes & thank you to these following answers and suggestions. Yeah i have joy, dd set, a set for when sentinal is used and yeah, most of the enmity is macroed in for cure/flash. glad to know the enmity cap is 50. as for aby, i don't get invites to aby because of the low level. its just sorta the way levi is i guess. most shouts i see is 75+ for mages and 80+ for anything else. but thanks for answering, wanted to know what enmity cap is! ^_^ Enmity+ cap is actually 100, but -enmity does cap at -50. Makes more sense if you think about it as doubling and halving your enmity for a given action.
Kanican suggests that +enmity has a cap of 100, via this post: http://kanican.livejournal.com/31788.html. This journal contains an enmity table that may be of use to you as well.
Edit: Fixed link, and beaten D: Iron ram is a great set for emnity and is a MUST for any serious PLD with a MDT set. Also PLD rules the zone in Campaign so aside from time its pretty easy prey to get
Also: Haste>Emnity for Flash. Haste>Emnity for Melee. Haste+HP>Emnity for Cures. Emnity>ALL for Atonement. Emnity>ALL for JA. for reference, my current set.
