Should I use Anarchy Mid Fight?

[Poochymama]

<DIV>So today we all Mentored down to 40 to help our lower lvl guildies with the Cauldron Hollow raid. I was the offtank same lvl guardian was mt. Anyways he would pull the 4 ^^^ or whatever right after i used anarchy and we would be fine until Anarchy recharged and i cast it again. At this point 3 of the 4 ^^^ would come after me. It really wasnt that big of a deal because the Mt and I were very close in stats(I had about 200 more mit than him) (he had 300 more health than me), but still it wasnt good because then one of the healers would have to switch targest and start healing me. So my question is, should i only cast anarchy at the start of the fight and then not cast it again or should i cast it midfight and just tank the adds that i get from it?</DIV>

<DIV>Do you only get agro when you mentor down?  I'm a 50 zerker and I never get agro from Guardian by buffing with Anarchy.</DIV> <DIV>I guess it depends on your guardian.  If your guardian is good enough he should be able to hold the agro with no problems.</DIV> <DIV>Also depends on the fight.  If your MT is getting stunned alot I would hold off if you don't think he has had enough time to taunt (I cast anarchy regardless and never get agro).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

I agree with Matheb. Anarchy creates a lot of aggro, in fact I use it for that reason a lot of the time, but it sounds to me like the Guardian wasn't doing his job properly. At the end of the day, Anarchy is a must use ability whenever you can use it (Unless in the situation described by Matheb). <P> If the Guardian really was that bad, maybe you should have been MT anyway? *grins*

It all depends on the situatiuon. You have to know the capabilities of your mt, and the situation he is in. If he is getting stunned/stifled alot, then no don't use anarchy if you think you might steal agro. In small fights it might not seem like a big deal, but on large raids it can spell doom for the entire raid. Bottom line, know your mt's capabilities and whether or not he can hold agro in the situation he is currently in. Personally, in most large raids I have been in the Guardian has had no trouble holding agro while I use Anarchy, with the exception of maybe King Zalak who stuns alot.
