It seems to be somewhat recent, but what’s the deal with being teleported to mobs that have aggro on you when you jump or jump off something?

Doesn’t happen to me.
It happens when you have a mob aggro’d on you and you jump off a cliff or something. It’ll teleport you to the mob. It’s a leashing issue I think.
I’ve only ever had it happen in instanced content, specifically only during three fights (so far).
The Harlan fight when you drag him to the overhanging deck and get knocked back over the fence by the Swiftwind Saber or get knocked behind one of the prop cannons.
During Taloc if I happen to leap to him to pick him up for the new phase before the elevator’s animation is finished.
During one of my very first Mythic Merektha fights she knocked me behind one of the prop eggs while she was in her tunnel phase and I sat there continuously teleporting to the same spot which ultimately made the boss evade while I took no damage and we couldn’t complete the fight.
Yeah it happens mostly in dungeons, it seems that instead of mobs being teleported to you, the change made the people aggro instead, be leashed and teleport to the mob. I’ve heard this was a change due to MDI abuse of leashing in dungeons and the kiting meta that Blizzard’s been trying to prevent.
Its ruining my suiciding during trash packs
Me no happy.
Happens to me near weekly on Taloc.
I have no idea why. I’m at the side of the room one second… then I get warped and am standing inside the big scary boss.
If its in dungeons or raids, its usually a mechanic to prevent them from evading, especially if you’re their highest aggro target. When mobs evade, the game will start restoring their health or reset back to their start position effectively ending combat and starting over. Bringing you back to the boss area cancels evading.
Just had it happen tonight in Atal. We were jumping down to Rezan as soon as the key started, and the rogue got grabbed out of stealth and ported to a nearby Shadowstalker as we pulled the boss. Because REASONS I guess.
It was a +10 key too. At least it wasn’t Tyrannical.
If you get teleported to mobs it means you’re lagging. If a mob teleports to you it means it has entered evade mode and got out of it, sometimes they seem to teleport to you. It happens very often with some sort of mountain terrain, or you might be standing on a rock or a crate.
