Dropping combat while monster is still actively engaged with you

Just had a weird occurrence where I was kiting Princess Theradras in Maraudon and I kept dropping out of combat every so often (if I didn’t shoot her within so many seconds). She would still be targeting me and chasing me, i.e. she wouldn’t evade, but I would be removed from combat and out of combat health regen would start to kick in. Hitting her with anything would obviously bring me back into combat, but after roughly 10 seconds of not hitting her with anything again, I would drop combat again with her still engaged/chasing me.

The only thing different I can think of that I did was I had screech still enabled on my owl pet and it had pulled a turtle into combat. At some point I had messed up and allowed that turtle to hit me with cheetah on, so I was dazed. I had to feign and let the turtle + Princess switch to my pet so I could get back to a safe distance. After ~10 seconds or so, the turtles evade and drop combat with you. I think this got me into the bugged state where I could keep dropping combat with Princess.

Yeah, I had a similar issue yesterday in BFD where evading mobs in an instance were bugging out my combat status. I was in the water near old serrakis and trying to rez someone, but couldn’t because I kept being shoved into and out of combat every 5 seconds or so. There are crabs in that area that evade bug constantly, and killing them fixed the issue.

I posted this in a vanish bug thread already.
There is a video of a rogue showing that vanish doesn’t work correctly.

In the end you can see him dropping combat inside of BRD and just restealthing (without vanish) while mobs are still following him.

Seems like there is a huge bug with combat inside dungeons atm.

similar to the rogue vanish thing, I stood on a ledge a mob couldn’t reach. it stayed in combat with me the whole time, at some point still in combat prowl came off cooldown and when I activated it the mob reset

seems like it maybe related to some kind of pathing issue ?

Makes mobs evade in dungeons currently resets them, too.

na wasn’t just that, I was able to enter stealth while the mob was facing and targeting me, but I wasn’t in combat, going stealth full reset it.
