Mobs auto attacking multiple times in less than a second

Yeah it’s bugged. Like most reports, Blizzard fundamentally misunderstood what we were reporting and thought we were referring to Princess.

We were referring to every mob in the game, because every one has this mechanic.

Mobs storing autoattacks

It seems like all mobs are storing autoattacks when the player is out of range, and unleashing them when back in range. Usually this happens when a mob is slowed or rooted and not otherwise completely disabled i.e. polymorph, but not in range to attack. The mob “stores” attacks and then unleashes them when back in range. The most well known of these is Princess in Mara who will store up 5+ auto attacks and drop them when back in range resulting in 2k+ damage instantly. This seems to be a bug for all mobs, not just her or elites. For mages, this bug is well known due to mobs routinely not being in range the entirety of combat, and resulting in a one shot if the mobs they’re aoeing get in range for even a split second.

Basically their thought process was “they mentioned Princess, and she has a flurry ability. Therefore the 10,000 other mobs with the same issue are working fine.”

Essentially the most half-assed troubleshooting imaginable.
