That's an interesting observation Teppler. Did you have a pet up, any dots etc on the mob?

Did you give it a little time to finish spinning round after it returned to its spot?

I'm well aware of how FD works and DOTs will keep aggro. Often times I regain HP on my necro by Lifetap DOTing and then FD. The situations I'm talking about, which I've seen on many occasions, is without a pet and without DOTs. I've seen it happen to me personally(non monk) and with monks I group with. I can give you a specific location where if you try it, you will clearly see it yourself. Try splitting Tolapumj and the Juggernaut golems around him. I've had this discussion with numerous monks, while it was happening, and a few have asked me what exactly goes into blurring them which prompted me to make this topic.

I'll give you a story of what happened once in crypt when I used to camp there. I would use the Baron PH to clear the entire camp. Then I would place the baron on his camp spot then FD in the safe corner and wait for things to respawn. One time I put baron back, I went to safe corner, FD waited MINUTES and he came running at me after. This has happened more than once. After the first time I started keeping my awareness up.
