It does cause aggro.

Did not have to zone in Dreadlands except for Ravishing Drolvargs. Did not have to zone in Frontier Mountains, and I'm pretty sure one did not need to zone to clear aggro in Emerald Jungle either. Only commonly kited zones people had to zone out of to clear aggro were Burning Wood and Skyfire.

Still, I'm not sure having the damage dealer camp out or zone out to clear aggro really entails "much" risk.

I think this change to the server is a step forward. I very well remember bards AE kiting in classic, but I don't remember people low-hp trivializing content. Maybe it did exist in classic, but it certainly wasn't wide spread like it was here.

So will I ever again hear the words "what retard just healed my kite partner" ?

chaotic good

So youre telling me the bard in OT the other day who OOC'd "Youre done kid, I hope you enjoyed playing on this server" never actually got justice for the wrongs committed against him?

Don't know/care about this. If you're saying a player healed another player, sounds like they got .. healed. Dunno, I don't get involved in gm/guide stuff.

this nerf is not classic and upsets me.

More classic than it was. As stated before, low hp aggro didn't provide permanent highest hate if there were other group members damaging the mob.

I put a substantial amount of research leading up to this change including videos you can find on youtube.

If it were up to me I'd add some code that gives outdoor mobs scale of wolf speed if they're not dead within 2 minutes of being engaged, and standard flee speed if they do drop below 20%.

Go on now bards, get with the program and level like everyone else :p

And it should be more appreciated than it is! thanks
