Issue with aoe grinding, mobs reset

[Ahlen]

Hi There,

I noticed that it is very difficult to AOE grind mobs as e.g. Fire Mage because mobs keep resetting.
Looks like the aggro range is fixed based on the mob initial location.

An example would be:
You run as fire mage spreading out the living mob, you engage in combat, you keep running away and suddenly mobs reset to their initial location.
This is not how it works on blizzlike servers.

The question is, since there is no list of non-blizzlike changes regarding Warmane servers, I would like to understand if this is an intentional mechanic to prevent aoe grinding or is it simply a bug? I've already reported such a problem

Thanks

This isn't a bug. Npcs have a set distance they will chase you regardless of what debuffs are applied to them. If you want to extend this range you have to cast something again. A dot ticking doesn't extend the range, but a new dot application will.

What you are saying is exactly how it should be, unfortunately, it is not. Even though I keep damaging mobs e.g. Arcane Explosion, they will reset anyway if I get too far away from them.
