Chasing Mobs: Glitch, Design choice, or limitation?

After you played as long as I have you get used to locking onto the target and running ahead of the mob just a little to auto attack it and stop it from running. lol

It's a lag problem. There is always going to be that small delay between when the mob moves and you move so your behind the mob more then it really seems.

To counteract this they would have to allow us to attack a mob from further then we can atm possible.

Would require possibly a 1-3 feet melee distance increase to allow for this. As a part of this, they'd also have to increase the WS distance slightly as well since you can technically WS while JUST outside of melee range, otherwise you could be in melee range (with the new values) and miss a WS while standing still.

EDIT: It might even resolve the issue of "Too far away" 0.5 seconds after firing a WS before the mob physically runs out of range to chase down that Black Mage that just cast Firaja/Blizzard V
