I won't speak on this specific instance, but pathing screws the player over more than the mob 99% of the time.
Anyone try fighting Galudian Widemouths in Paw? Good luck.. I can be standing on top of the snake in the water and send my pet.. and he runs around for 30 seconds taking some unseen path through the walls..
Or try to pull Spectres out of the Feerrott caves and see how well they follow the same pathing as you. Typically they simply ignore walls and come straight at you.
I'd say most of us have abused a mobs pathing at some point or another, whether or not we attempted to "exploit" it or not. If a mobs path only turns direction at 90 degree increments are we exploiting if we run at a diagonal away from it?
