I played classic extensively and I don't remember lazy agro AT ALL.

You must not have played a Bard, I definitely remember lazy agro. It combined with the rubber-banding made my single kiting mobs during kunark a really difficult thing. Well, keyboard turning and the tiny view area didn't help either.

None of the mobs are being tagged from across the zone and because of the z access they are actually all close by.

In fact, it's pretty well seared into my mind that NOTHING will drop agro from you unless you zone. To read upthread that people avoided casters in kites because they would drop agro is plain wrong.

Take it from someone who spent lots of 1999-2003 running: agro had no distance checks.

You're just wrong. Literally dozens of people here recall firsthand experience with lazy agro.

Yeah I definitely remember zoning being the only way to deaggro a mob in classic. There was never any leash on cazic Thule server during kunark timeline.

There you have it. Glenzig says lazy agro never existed. Glenzig is wrong about pretty much everything he's ever said. Therefore lazy agro existed. QED

every server was a little different TBH, thats why trying to nail down exact classic is almost impossible

That's actually probably the best extrapolation of evidence in this whole thread.

Also, why don't you call me anymore? Don't you still love me?

I also played on Cazic Thule and nothing ever dropped agro.


EVAR

Lazy agro existed for me as a Bard on SZ, You could out run mobs and they would path back but if you got back in close with them they could reagro across the zone.

I used to remember using this to train people at PON zone in.

I do remember if specs in oasis went back to island to reset and you got close again, they'd all just start coming if you hadn't zoned/camped/mem blurred.

Methinks that's because low hp specs would fire up their own version of gating back to their bind under certain conditions.

Not sure if they'd just stop chasing due to distance, but really strongly remember a spec dying surrounded by gate/invis bubbles graphic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. I think their behavior was to do this if they were X distance away from their spawn point and nothing else was on their threat list and not as some kind of flee mechanic. The kill being that someone zoned with specs after them, and one got finished off while the others recalled.

Read this and you'll also be convinced lazy aggro existed, not only in Kunark but also Velious.

Its inconceivable that someone would write a guide like this if it never existed. It will also impress upon you the importance of lazy aggro for pullers, and if you're an sk, bard, necro, or monk some of the tactics and skills that you're missing out on not having it on P1999.
