That's why swarm kiting was possible, because on initial aggro of the swarm you had zero aggro on anything, if you charm a mob they automatically aggro it because it's the closest unfriendly target.

Currently there is a minimal amount of aggro you get just from being the first to anger a mob, even if you do 0 points of damage you can't train a mob on someone unless they have one already on them, or are low hp.

Whether they want to change it or not is another question, I personally don't care [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I remember this, this made EQ fun.

Training sand giants/spectre in oasis comes to mind ( miss you fansy )
