This seems to be the case for me as well. All extra mobs on a pull will
attack me almost 100% of the time. And any passing mob will attack me when
it joins in a fight.

I'm wondering if it is because I'm playing Hymn? I'm guessing that when the
mobs come over and they're not really mad at anyone yet (just a little bit
at the puller) then they'll want to attack me since I'm healing. Or is it
the vague "Bard Hate" thing. :) What do you guys think?

I think I'm going to try to NOT play Hymn at the very beginning of a battle
(so far I'm always twisting Anthem and Hymn, even in the very beginning when
no one is hurt). Hopefully the mobs that are not being fought yet will hit
the tanks and/or puller, and then several rounds later when I start to play
Hymn they won't be so mad at me.
