From my vast research, I have discovered that buffing yourself or other
people in your party while in combat can really hurt the mob's feelings and
he will try to go after yah, and the majority of our songs are buffing, or
debuffing. (combat at least). But things like just standing in the middle
of everfrost, and all of a sudden a band of skeletons jumps you must a mob
specific aggresive trait. Another combat reason for mob hate towards us, is
our naturally lower hp than most hybrids.
