Bump.

DAing should drop you down to the lowest point on aggro, removing all hate you have attained up to the point you DA'd but it should keep you on hate lists.

P99 Example:
  1. Cleric Generates 5000 Points of Hate (Warrior has 4000 points of Hate here)
  2. Mob attacks Cleric
  3. Cleric Casts DA
  4. Mob switches back to attacking Warrior while Cleric's DA is active.
  5. Cleric Continues having 5000 Points of Hate (Warrior somehow only got up to 4500 points of Hate while cleric was DA)
  6. Cleric clicks off DA or DA fades naturally
  7. Mob resumes attacking Cleric

Classic Example:
  1. Cleric Generates 5000 Points of Hate (Warrior has 4000 points of Hate here)
  2. Mob attacks Cleric
  3. Cleric Casts DA
  4. Mob switches back to attacking Warrior while Cleric's DA is active.
    naturally
  5. Cleric has dropped down to 1 Point of Hate (Warrior somehow only got up to 4500 points of Hate while cleric was DA)
  6. Cleric clicks off DA or DA fades naturally
  7. Mob Continues attacking Warrior

The DAing person should never be able to DA and when dropped cause a mob to forget about them and wander off. It should always remember you. But it should NOT remember the extent to which it hated you, it should act as though you just have 1 point of body aggro after DA has been cast, even after DA has ended. Until you do something again to piss it off.
