Mob hate is very apparent in Unrest, I did was playing heal and Anthem, with
a group of early 20's (full group) the mobs totally ignored our tanks and 3
Dry bones, a carrion ghoul and the Bartender all came for me, needless to
say I died. The clerics who were not quite believers in the Bard Hate idea,
werent prepared, and werent monitoring me.
Mob hate is also apparent in Blackburrow to some extent, my first Bard I
didnt know any different , I later took another class in and was amazed at
how much easier it was, and how little I got trained.
But by far the worst experience Ive seen, to the point of laughability was
in Splitpaw. When I was 9-10th level I went in with a full group of 6, with
2 tanks, a cleric, a shaman, a caster and myself.
EVERY pull , every wandering Mob, Everything ignored the tanks the casters
and made a beeline to me, I was very upset, the others couldnt believe it.
It got to the point that they couldnt effectively hunt because they were too
busy trying to take mobs off of me and keep me alive. I eventually left
because I felt like i was kinda holding them back.
