ROFL! Absolutely inspired. Where's John Kim's analysis vs this type of mob?
:-)
I was up until 1 am last night with a similar problem with a mob who is
under level 1. I was wielding my 1HB Pacifier (+2 CHA) {Can be bought in
most shops}, but she continued to aggro on me for two straight hours. The
zone guards (Mother or Mother-In-Law) are not seen after dark and running to
the zone wasn't an option.
While I was able to maintain my own "Wife" faction, I must say that my
"Work" faction has been dropping recently. If anyone knows of any quests
which would increase my factions with both, I'd love to hear it. (Nothing on
Allakhazam's site) I've heard good results of Mask of Deception against Boss
mobs, but believe me, it doesn't work with "Wife" mob. :-P
