Ding 350 tinkering <span>:smileyvery-happy:One of my new toys is an instant cast every 2 second that either75% of the time casts amnesia25% of the time casts a tauntSo what are all the ins and outs of amnesia?  So far I have only been using this when I loose agro.</span><div></div>

mem wipe that puts aggro on you.<div></div>

Amnesia wipes the aggro list completly clean.. attacking the verylast person to cast a spell (ie you.. amnesia being the last spell) however if theres a dot that ticks even a milisecond after amnesia is cast, the mob will go after the caster of that dot.. so gets your taunts ready as soon as it hits <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<P>Not to mention wards, reactive heals, etc.</P> <P>In general I would say it's a bad idea to use it.  If one dps over-aggro's, would you rather lose that dps and keep all the aggro you built up, or reset everyone's hate to zero and potentially lose the whole raid?</P> <P>On mobs like Gorenaire who seems to de-aggro just the tank, it might be useful if you don't kill her within 3-4 minutes and go through all your big taunts (rescue, reinforcement, death march, whatever).</P> <P>Note that our amnesia also includes a short stun, not sure if your tinkered one does or not.</P>

<P>No short stun, but this actually works very well for me.</P> <P>In groups it's usefull if I loose agro right before I open up with 3 fresh taunts & especially good when I'm pulling agro off an over zeleous dps. </P> <P>Have not tried it in raids yet, though I immagine it would be a nice option for a Main Tank to regain agro if I were to have several heavy taunts & combat arts up when I activate it.</P> <P>Over all I'm happy with it.</P>

It's very dangerous to use in a raid if people don't know what you're doing and when you're doing it. <div></div>

[whytakemine]

If you're going to use this, I would definitely macro it with some kind of a /say.I still think it's a bad idea, even if you're just grouping - if you have 3 taunts up can't you just pull back aggro with those?  When I'm playing dps, I typically learn within a few fights how much aggro a tank can hold and I adjust to that.  But if you memwipe the mob after 15s, all the deaggro's I've used are wasted, and when I hit my big nukes it's going to yank it right off you.<div></div>

Oh no! Vlad using amnesia on raids /shudder.<div></div>
