Q: If I'm in a group and want to lose mob agro (assuming other people are attacking the same mob), is it more effective to simply stop attacking, or to use a detaunt style, if I've got one?
A: From Redbeard, a programmer taking a quick break from knocking out Labyrinth code: (It appears to depend on how long you have been fighting the monster, and specifically how much damage you have done to the monster. The more damage you have done to the target overall, the better detaunt styles will work. So, early on in the battle it may be more effective to miss a swing but later on the detaunt style should be better.)
(By (appears,) he means that it is thus in the three places he looked, but as all canny coders know, he refuses to rule out some lurking lines of evil in some random place.)
