Game Mechanics: Lazy Mobs Kunark / Velious

[Daldaen]

The 10 minute thing is correct, atleast it was on Al'Kabor. It was demonstrated by players there before the server came down. However such a unique aggro mechanic will be very difficult to prove the inception of it. Especially since from 1999-2001 people were still figuring out the basics of the game. You had clerics complaining about the OP nature of Druids and warrior complaining about how good Paladins had it on raids...

But basically, if you're attacking the mob or building aggro in any way, the 10 min timer wouldn't matter. It was only like... kiting a mob around for 10 min without generating any aggro.

Lazy agro definitely varied by mobs or zone or something. Idk but the thing about getting trak to summon you is accurate. That is how he was solo'd. Trakanon might not have had lazy agro. I recall the original boastful bellow AA had no LoS check and some crazy range. Thott posted about it somewhere how he used it to pull trakanon to zone in.

Its crazy how i even remember this little shit from so long ago

That quote verifies what you're saying. They're saying you need to pull him to a spot so when you're banished you'll be inside his lazy aggro range so you get summoned back, otherwise youll be too far away and he won't summon you. So I'm agreeing with you, you are right.
