Every time I go into combat, I am stuck in it.
Here is what I have tried,
The only that that has worked is hearthing to another continent, but the stone is on CD and it is ridiculous that I should have to hearth in order to get out of it.
Try flying really high on your mount, as high as you can and dismount.
Another thing to try is swimming under water and just waiting there. If swimming is also really your thing have your character swim out to sea. You can alternatively fly out to sea also.
Hopefully the end effect of one of these methods will end combat.
Thanks for the quick reply,
Unfortunately, I can’t mount due to in combat status. I have to run.
Another thing is I’m in Zuldazar grinding rep so, take awhile to run to the beach.
Death should end combat.
Plot twist: Shadowlands
I have had this issue as well, and as stated, the only thing that I have been able to do that gets me out of combat quickly unfortunately is by killing my toon and rezzing.
If you haven’t, pls, any time this happens to you report it as a bug - not a ticket, but as a bug report so hopefully…MAYBE…they will finally correct this issue. Doesn’t happen often enough for it to just hit their radar.
Good luck, OP!!!
There should be an addon that comes with a button that will point you in the direction of the mob you’re stuck in combat with. Let it integrate with tomom. Whoever makes it would instantly have the most popular addon in wow.
Well, if an addon like that was to be made, you could say it would be added to my… radar.
It just randomly stopped doing it now. I didn’t do anything different.
This is rather annoying, I hope it doesn’t happen to me again or anyone else for that matter.
we should get an evade ability to drop combat. sure it can be abused, but how often has an enemy mob glitch evaded on us? most recently for me it’s those k’thir on them uldum platforms that decide to evade over the small gaps between the platforms
Nearly every single time Ive been stuck in combat its over not looting something I killed.
If I run back and loot, so far…knock on wood…it immediately clears the in combat thing.
This bug mostly occurs for me when I’m fighting around other mobs that are fighting each other (but not killing each other). What happens is a corruption or trinket proc will hit them, but it hasn’t done enough to pull aggro, so they stay fighting each other without me noticing what has happened.
Occurs a lot in Mechagon, Zuldazar and Stormsong. Once the mobs fighting each other die (or you die), combat is dropped.
I have been reporting this as a bug for about a year or so. It still happening and is very annoying. There is random solution that works some time. its /reload. Dopes not work all time. It does work sometimes for me.
They could just give us a toy that can only be used a couple times a day. 12 hour CD or something. That removes us from combat.
But…that’d be too easy 
Just build it into the game that if you haven’t taken or dealt any damage in the span of 20 seconds you automatically drop combat. No button or toy needed.
Whatever you’re in combat with needs to be within 100 yards. If it’s a true glitch, it could be something more complex, like a hidden spell aura (there’s literally tens of thousands of them).
I’ve found some mobs who are placed to perform a ritual or some other type of animation can be aggrod but never approach or attack you, I’ve gone back and killed an entire town worth of mobs til i found the one i aggrod 5 minutes ago.
Arathi basin is the worst. Kill a guy and theres like a 7 or 8 second delay so you cant mount.

Should have rolled night elf, mate.
