Two invisible mobs on same spot interacting strangely

[verne]

In this log I find two invisible mobs that start acting really weird, I believe they are different kinds that are providing different functions based on that fact that one of them is responding to IT, and one of them is a HER and interacting together in strange ways but its possible there are two of the same ones with inconsistencies. In short, after engaging all of them for a bit and the mobs didn't disengage like they have been, I fled off and healed, and when I came back Roland was aggroing on his own mobs instead of me, and when I attacked roland faceoff forced me to attack another mob.

disclaimer: this was only half hour/45 mins after boot so some of the strangeness could have been leftover from that

The bug here is that Earthquake and Sonic Boom hit "wizinvis" mobs, and they should not.

These are not "real" mobs - they're just invisible placeholder mobs imm use to load mobol into for special smob effects. It happens at many similar smobs with e.g., dynamic or anti-channel effects.

I'm aware of that but, that should mess with the grouping, having two different invisible mobs is doing something with the grouping to cause some of the guards to be counted as grouped with me instead of Roland, with Roland aggroing me but faceoff causing him to hit his own mob instead, and none of the other guards jump in. then when i hit Roland, faceoff treats the guards as grouped by him again and causes me to hit one of them.

Im well aware of how earthquake normally doesnt affect these mobs and even when it does they usually disengage after a few rounds, but this was something else entirely.
