Kiting

[Klala]

A feature I know that many people absolutely liked since vanilla was kiting a mob, usually a boss to a city and have him destroy and be destroyed by players.

It's time to bring it here. From my own experience since vanilla, I know that as long as you reapply an offensive effect to a mob he will keep on chasing you, even if it's corruption that has no initial damage it will keep chasing you if you keep reapplying it over and over. If you stop reapplying the effect the mob will chase you until you have ran the same distance you need to run if you just pulled him from his original location and will go back to his original position in the world.

There are many clips that proves this, I found something from Wotlk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Y2An5vugU You can see that even other npc's offensive abilities will help kiting the mobs. And here's another clip from vanilla: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMteJFoLAZ0

Always remember, developers, that the mob will keep chasing you if you use OFFENSIVE abilities on the mob\npc. If you use abilities on yourself, like healing, it doesn't count.

each mobb has been modded to return to its spawn location after so much distance regardless of anything

Confirmed after testing with Anachronos, he stops after a few feet and resets regardless of what you do, possibly because of the reason listed above that's not really blizzlike at all i dont think
