OK so I was having a discussion with a few people today about claiming.
Somethings to consider before replying to this thread:
1.) We're not talking about initial claim, where there is only one person involved.
2.) We're not talking about latency issues, different connections and flukes.
3.) We are also not talking about the amount of hate of certain spells over others. Everyone knows Stun is less hate than Provoke and so on.
All right so let's say you're camping Fafnir, and you see the chat log; many people cast all at once to claim.
If you have 2 BLM cast Stun at the same time, (again, forget latency etc) who gets hate? A theory that was brought up was that -enmity gear plays a part... so should people claiming unequip -enmity gear?
also, this theory involved hate being "built" to the alliance as a whole. If BLM #1 casts stun (with no -enmity gear on), and BLM #2 (in a seperate alliance) casts Stun with normal blm gear, wouldn't the BLM #1's alliance have a better chance at claiming?
so if one blm stuns, and their PLD provoke's right after, and the other BLM doesn't have any follow up, the first pair would get claim(?)
There have been cases where mobs like LoO and Shiki have gotten down to 95,90% while still being unclaimed because many people started casting on it all at once.
So my question is this, is hate built by the alliance as a whole, since many people are casting at once?
If so, would -enmity gear play a factor?
