banner with the symbol of Saldaea, three silver fishes on dark blue, is

Suroth sometimes does it too.

[Auriona]

and some other smobs as well.

[melyssan]

think i can answer this one it happens when you dont group your mob and you have the mob not engaged on the main smob in this case the queen and at the same point of your mob attacking the lacky mob she attacks Toribio but with the mob being the 2nd group member but not grouped it breaks faceoff and everything gets on him instead of evenly splitting stuff across the rest of the group

[Elysia]

With the help of Equitant, Rig, Tupgysh, Spyder, Zarth, Asylum and a slew of others (plus a stash of expendable Ghar mobs), we were able to reproduce this reliably.

Either way, this is just how the code works. The group who posted the log must have a certain way of hitting this that just happens to have this effect. It has to do with which mob you target.

However! Since I can't expect players to do the 2h testing, plus imm supported "heals" we just did to learn the intricacies of how this works, I'm going to see if we can remove the locking of the privatedoor east of Tenobia. That way, you can at least flee off if this happens and try another tactic. I'll have to discuss that with the other imms first though, so it's not been changed yet!
