I was with a party in the citidel chaining siege bats and somone I've had problems with shows up. I suspect somthing is up because he keeps coming over to look at us, then leaving. About 10 minutes later a an IT borer beetle somhow agroes on our party. While the tard and his friends stand up the hall we proceed to complely own the mob he trained on us as they watch. I guess to them a borer beetle was certain death, to us it was merely challenging.

Best revenge I've ever had...

I doubt he brought the beetle to you.

Even if he dragged it down the hall and he zoned to loose aggro, then the beetle will return to it's original location.

I think you are experiencing a fake feeling of revenge-joynessthinghy.

But then the BST would have to elease it quite close to the other group for the mob to aggro on the group right?

No, borer beetles agro, if you doubt me go to the citidel and see for yourself. Just be ready to run if you're below lvl 45 and not with a party. And watch out for the Fallen Evacuees while you're at it. Don't rest around the Siege Bats and Wingrats either because they agro on resting, and if your HP gets low watch it because the evacuees agro on low hp at a much farther range than their hearing range (TIP: don't bother with invisibility around undead, it does nothing, only sneak works and if you're below 75% HP then nothing works) And if you fall down a hole, just kiss your *** goodby, you'll die in seconds. (whenever I'm there some careless puller always falls down a hole)

A guy from his party ran throug ours and stopped dead in his tracks, then the beetle killed him. It may have been a "train of oppurtunity", i.e. he knew he was going to die anyway so he decided to let the beetle kill him there.

BTW. never assume that agro is consistant with same family/different stat mobs, becuse it will eventually bite you in the ***.

BTW, did you raise the guy that trained you, boy would that ever sting.

Love thy enemy, it drives them insane!

Or dies...

Didn't you read this thread? He ran into our party with a borer beetle chasing him, stopped, and let the beetle kill him. When he was dead the beetle then agroed on us. Forget about the low level beetles you've seen running around outside San D'Oria are like, Borer Beetles are lvl 40-44, have very high DEF, agro on sight and link.

You learn quickly that just because a mob looks the same doesn't mean it is the same. Countless lowbies have learned this lesson the hard way when on their first venture into Tahrongi Canyon and got killed because they didn't realize that Canyon Rarabs are IT to their level and link when attacked.
