So, I'm back to farming my own people, the hafling guards. I started farming them at like level 25 or something, can't really remember, was like a year ago(just came back a couple days ago)... so I had tried quading them a few times and it was working out pretty well. 3 of them con dark blue(if i get the one from the tower), 2 are teal and 1 is green.. so thats 6 total. Ideally I'd like the 3 dark blues with 1 teal for max exp, but sometimes people take one or the other.
So I decided to try 5 guards... wasn't aware that the AoE only hit up to 4 targets, which is prob why it's called QUAD kiting.. duh. But anyways, something happened when I started kiting 5 mobs. Before when I would kite 4 of them... Aster and Eigon would always resist my AoE, or they would just mitigate some of the damage. When I kite 5 of them they never do this, however I think it's random which one of them DOESN'T take AoE damage when there are more than 4 targets.
So... what happens is after 4 of them die, 1 of them is left with around half health and I'm usually pretty low mana, but this actually works better than having just 1 guard resist or mitigate most of the damage. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not... but kiting 5 so far has let all of my AoE spells land and not be mitigated at all.
