    BRD And MCH can drop, on average, half their enmity every 90s. If they start dropping enmity at around 30s in, their enmity at a given time would look something like this:

    00m30s: drop from 30s worth of unmitigated enmity generation to 15s worth
    02m00s: drop from 1m45s worth to 53s worth
    03m30s: drop from 2m23s worth to 1m12s worth
    05m00s: drop from 2m42s worth to 1m21s worth
    06m30s: drop from 2m51s worth to 1m26s worth
    08m00s: drop from 2m56s worth to 1m27s worth
    09m30s: drop from 2m58s worth to 1m29s worth
    11m00s: drop from 2m59s worth to 1m30s worth


    Compare to caster enmity. Assume Diversion only once at the beginning (enmity generation -90% for 30s), and Dreaming (drop half) every two minutes starting 60s in:
    00m30s: accumulate only 3s worth of enmity
    01m00s: drop from 33s worth to 17s worth
    03m00s: drop from 2m17s worth to 1m9s worth
    05m00s: drop from 3m09s worth to 1m35s worth
    07m00s: drop from 3m35s worth to 1m48s worth
    09m00s: drop from 3m48s worth to 1m54s worth
    11m00s: drop from 3m54s worth to 1m57s worth

    Bolded values for comparison.

    And while a caster could Divert every two minutes, it's not necessary unless the tanks die or the tanks are just sitting there not generating enmity. And if just Dreaming every two minutes is enough for a caster, BRD and MCH shouldn't have any problems because they actually better enmity curves than casters.
