Actually we now have a way of determining the amount of spike hate generated by Flash and Provoke. Simply get several players with Provoke and Flash near a zone with a RDM and Lv0 enemies. Have the RDM cast Dispel once and let one player Provoke and one Flash. Then have the RDM cast Dispel again and let the players zone while another two cast Provoke and Flash. This could get us within 320 hate units.

Hopefully we also find that Flash and Provoke have a high amount of non-decaying hate with additional testing. I have a RDM and SAM/WAR (Third Eye, Provoke), so I'll volunteer to do some testing of Provoke. Anyone on Lakshmi have a WHM or PLD who could help with Flash?

After reading Part 1, I see that I'll have to avoid pulling with RDM. I propose pulling with SAM/WAR Provoke, having RDM cast Dispel, and then zoning my SAM/WAR before proceeding with the tests.

Goals
Figure out how much hate does not decay from Provoke.
Figure out how much spike hate Provoke generates.
Figure out how fast hate decays from Provoke.
Notes: This will be done as a Lv75 SAM/WAR against Lv0 enemies.

Also it would be interesting to do the same for some Cure spells. I'm afraid I lack sufficient equipment for this, but I could see testing the effects of Enmity-X gear on the non-decaying portion of Dispel with the help of another mage.

Any ideas for what else is worth testing and how to improve on my method?

I'm excited that we may learn how to better control hate and allow for more tanking options.
