Running to next mob B4 first one killed??

[whome]

SSSoooo, I'm busy attacking the guys around Yuri, who incidently is on my friends list. My Oakey is helping, then all of a sudden, my char stops attacking the initial attack and targets Yuri. My Oakey is busy killing the first guy, so obviously I die WTF..... Can I fix this somehow??

Its like I have cast an AOE or something..... It happens so fast I can't tell who actually hits first?? It seems to make him join the fight zone.

Sometimes if you kill 1 or 2 mobs really close to a yellow fast enough you can agro it and it will attack you. I'm not exactly sure how you can avoid it. Maybe steer clear or Yuri?

Some of the monsters are social. When under attack, they will request help from nearby monsters, which will attack you even if they are passive. The best example of this is the deer in Ystra.

Works like this.

Some mobs like in ystra do a verbal call for help, if any mobs of same type in range they will come and assist the one calling.
Other mobs are "linked" so attacking 1 will agro the rest of the group regardless of distance.

Only 1 sure fire way to avoid getting multiple agro is to kill the mob in 1 shot, if you can do that you will never agro anything else regardless of how the game has it set up. For some reason 1 shotting mobs gets passed any triggers that are set up.
Scouts can solo instances by using snipe on trash, if snipe is enough to 1 shot them.

Bosses are an entirely different story, they are mini events and have their own set of rules.

After watching for a time, I saw it was actually my character targetting another before the first was even dead. Is there a way to pause after each kill?? I need to pause a sec or two before targetting the next mob.....

Sorry, don't like bumping, but I edited text and not sure if my editing has been read.... I couldn't find how to pause after each kill so I don't run to the next before the first is killed..... sorry

Untested and off the top of my head, should work though.
