I've had this numerous times now.

One player or group of players is attacking a mob.

Another, unrelated player will be attacked by that mob.

For example:

I was firemobbing and saw a Grim Persecutor. I was outside the aggro range, without a weapon drawn.
A rhino team began attacking and I was killed by it.

Similarly I came around a corner and saw a HC PE attacking a mob, the mob immediately attacked me.

Then you were in range. Even if you didn't attack as far as I remember if you're in range you're fair game!

I can't remember having this before the patch and certainly not on terra.

Been this way for years. Some mobs attack the latest damage dealer (Regant), some shoot everything in range at once (Persi, poison cave Flapper, Chaos Ltnt / Soldier), most attack the one dealing most damage.

Also some firemobs use area damage attacks if you get too close.

I'm not sure what Warbots do exactly, but they do seem to switch targets randomly between the people that dealt damage.. could also be the same used for Regant, didn't hunt them for a while.


Rule #1 PvE: If someone aggroe'd a Persi - run!

Probably spent so much time in an empty zone on terra that I never came across it before :p.

That is true... Some mobs do area attacks... Percies and Chasers do an area attack if you get too close.
