Yeah, I figured that but what on Norrath would have made it think I was
hostile and a bigger threat than the guy shooting it? I wsn't casting
anything, was at full health, and wasn't even in a group. The mob literally
turned at a 90+ degree angle after starting after the ranger and nailed me
from behind.
Maybe he saw the 40pp in the trade window that I was getting and needed to
pick up some cash ;(

What you think is the mob's normal aggro radius may not be its
aggro radius in all situations. If you've ever tried to sneak
up on Chief Goonda in WK, you know that he has a *huge* aggro
radius (basically he charged me when he was about 5 pixels
large on my screen at 1024x768). So it may be that while a
mob's initial aggro radius is small, once it has been
activated, the AI may be taking into account all potential
hostiles it sees within a much larger radius.
