If you ever get aggro from your pet and your pet does enough damage to take aggro back, the mob will continue to hit you unless you move out of that X range.

You also must move out of the X range quickly (backpedaling doesn't work, regular run speed or jumping usually does the trick), or the mob will simply move closer, since that X range is larger than melee range.

Give that a shot.

Yes, but it didn't change recently, and can be easily avoided. Can also be used at your advantage at times.

This is not really new on P99.

The thing I'm talking about is new. A pet who doesn't deal any dmg, and not grabbign aggro is normal and has always been like this. However, a pet dealing 40 dmg was always grabbing aggro when you had no aggro or just used the level 1 fire nuke.

Now, with certain mobs, they sometimes keep chasing with 200+ dmg and 4 rounds of melee :/
