[quote name='lord_ebonstone']So just to clarify,
If I'm an Archer at one end of a football field and there's a troll on the opposite end, can the troll can stand still, swing his club, and hit me? Or does he need to move closer before he can attack?[/QUOTE]
If you get within aggro range of a mob, they start charging up their atk, when they launch it, u can't avoid it by running away. The only way the troll will start atking is either you get close, or you atk from range to get their attention. Melee mobs will walk up to you to do their atk, just that if you move away during their atk animation, the atk will still count. I wouldn't really call it a bug, just the way the game is designed to prevent hit and run tactics, imo. Hope this clarifies for most people.
It is still possible to do hit and run, but mobs are pretty persistent and chase for a good distance.
