Game Mechanics: Rooted mob doesn't face aggro'd player

[Sippin]

When, if I'm soloing that should be me. Hehe. And they aren't facing me.

I haven't looked at the group mechanics of this phenomenon but the bottom line should be the mob should be facing whoever's at the top of his hate list. If proximity factors in strongly here then you're probably right. Like even if the mob isn't within melee range of anyone, if the whole group sits down I would think the mob should face which groupmember is closest.

All this is academic musing since the point of my post involves the mob's reaction to being rooted by a solo player with nobody else around. It isn't working right.
