Bug or Feature?

[Hvjvjv-antonidas]

Er, realized I posted this in the wrong forum so copy pasted it here:

If I pull a mob, and it has a friend that pulls with it, I used to be able to kite while spamming damage on the main mob and have the second run back after some distance was made.
Currently it seems like on my druid alt i can literally take both mobs on a field trip across the zone and they both will follow me, and when one resets the other does as well.

I think this was changed sometime after I hit 60 on my first character and I haven’t noticed it until now, but it sure feels weird.

I believe what you are experiencing may be related to the Hotfix on Oct 22nd:

@Kaivax

Fixed a bug that caused creatures such as Solenor the Slayer to misbehave when pursuing the player. Groups of creatures that commit to combat as a group will now all continue to pursue whenever any one of them are struck by a player attack or ability.

Oh, and to add to that, they went in more detail in this thread. This is likely the most relevant post to what you’re experiencing:

@Kaivax

The bugfix to leash behavior of groups of enemies makes the game behave like it did in original WoW. We discovered the problem because of Solenor the Slayer, but it was a bug with all linked combat groups’ leashing behavior. The fix only affects linked combat groups with a leash timer, so there are still plenty of situations when you might attract the attention of multiple enemies and be able to split one off.
