It would seem to be fairly easy to test.
Need 3 people. Can be done with two if care is taken to balance initial enmity and the sch doesn't use the AF3 body during initial enmity setup.
1) Puller (any)
2) Rdm
3) Sch/rdm
Ensure mobs always hit for 0 dmg.
Puller pulls. Rdm gets on hate list with Dispel (1 CE/300 VE), then puller can zone (can do with mandys right outside Windy).
Wait out the VE decay time (5 seconds) so rdm is left with only the 1 CE.
Sch then casts Dispel (1 CE/300 VE). If sch pulls hate, there was no 0-enmity proc. Rdm can Dispel again to get hate back (should have 1 CE more than the sch), and wait out the VE decay.
Each cycle, the rdm should be 1 CE higher than the sch after VE decays. If the sch is -ever- able to cast Dispel without pulling hate, that's evidence of a 0-enmity proc.
It's possible that a "0" enmity proc still generates 1 CE (fundamental minimum). In that case, have the rdm cast Dispel an additional time so that there's a 2 CE lead over the sch, and 1 CE won't pull hate.
If no evidence of 0-enmity procs occurs, then try again with the rdm at a greater lead over the sch. Dispel generates 300 VE, so the rdm may cast two en-spells for 160 CE (slightly more than half the hate that Dispel will generate). If the sch ever fails to take hate, that's evidence of a hate reduction proc that reduced enmity by at least ~50%.
Can repeat as necessary to narrow down the enmity reduction.
This was my idea of a test exactly (i was going to use 2 SCHs though, but either works). Byrth left the country and I work all of the time so I haven't been able to talk to him about it yet.
