Paladin AoE Enmity

Someone else will be able to provide more detailed info on particular spells and such, but for AoE enmity, going /BLU is going to be king.

Just rotate a big emnity JA for each pull. Flash/bash/voke the trans. The fodder should melt and be controlled by the AoE DPS. (Stunned/slept)

/blu is best for AoE hate but it’s not needed for Omen and i prefer /war for the mid and end boss mobs.

Blank gaze, geist wall, soporifif, sheep song, jetttura

Are your best are hate spells on /Blu

Jettatura gives the most enmity, but has a long recast.
Blank gaze have the shortest recast around 10s

Cocoon is fantastic defense bonus
And you can pick up some additional killer traits as well.

Make sure to setup your enmity set for these spells and you should be pretty golden

Cure cheats are, in fact, still a useful thing.

If you aren't going /BLU, then your best best may be to tag the sleeper with a cure 1 after they sleep everything to get on the hate list for all mobs, then drop some cure 3/4 cheats for enmity.

It's MP intensive, but doesn't have the recast issue that JA do, and actually gives decent CE, unlike most JA. So you get a strong VE spike along with some lasting CE.

Tag everything with an AoE spell from /blu then just use foil.

Would work if Paladin got Foil.

The problem most people run into is understanding how to utilize enmity to your advantage.

PLD pulls all mobs by just aggro (super tanking, no enmity has been established but mob has attention on someone)

BLM or anyone sleeps all mobs > this now means the only person with enmity is the sleeper

PLD should then target the BLM and affect them some how. A cure for 0 HP (as far as I understand) generates no enmity, but for 1 HP will put you on the hate list.

From this point the PLD can utilize self cures to generate enmity if JAs are down, but as mentioned, /BLU tends to be more effective speed-wise. You would still need to cast a few spells if JAs are down, so cure cheats would be relatively similar to /BLU aoes. The only real difference here is the PLD doesn't need to target the BLM and affect them, they can just AoE the BLU spells as long as the target mobs are in range.

A cure for 0 HP generates 1 CE.

And no HP needs to be restored to put you on the hate list. Any action of any kind performed on a player who is on the hate list, while in rage of the mob in question, will put you on said mob's hate list.

That's the joke.

Although i haven't tried this in Omen I know that /run can help to, it adds 2x hate JA's with 3min recast, combined w/ the standard pld ja's it allows a good JA hate cycle. Once again you would have to be on the enemies hate list. Also /run adds aquaveil/blink/regen 2 to your spell list which all can be very useful for the mid/end bosses as well
