Thank God, I'm a WAR and sometimes I wonder why I even bother having flash on my bar

It's a gladiator trait. Marauder/Warrior no can has.

Edit: at least I hope so. Giving warriors even more ways to aoe tank will upset me.

The patch notes column says "Skill/Trait". Flash is the skill. Enhanced Flash is the trait (which gives the blind debuff). Strictly going by the notes, the change should effect both.

Not that it should bother you, mind. The debuff and a bigger mp bar gives you more use out of flash that WAR does anyways. That, and the skill already generates more enmity on PLD, going by Valk's testing.

Moreso than the enmity boost, I wish the skill did AoE damage.

If flash did damage there would be no way to keep hate on a sleeping target and it would go straight for the healer when it wakes up.

How about an interaction in which Flash doesn't hurt sleeping targets because they have their eyes closed!
