The way the coding selects the 25 mobs, is it similar to how the code selects the 4 or 5 mobs hit by a targetted AE spell?

For example, if I have mobs 1-10 in my kite all balled up and I cast a AE Direct Damage spell (4 target cap), every single time the server will select Mobs 1,2,3,4 (names given arbitrarily). It will continue selecting those mobs until they die or are out of range of the AE.

Will PBAE select the same 25 every time or will it be random?

Same system. IIRC it's determined by which mobs have been up the longest (thus they would be at the beginning of the zone's 'entity list'). Or it could be the mobs that have been up the shortest if it's going in reverse... I'd have to look.
