Unfortunately, first they would have to deal with whatever killed you (enmity transfer)....which, in most cases, is likely to destroy them as well. But, it would be a nice change for those wtf moments where you get killed by something you haven't engaged (which would not transfer enmity to the NPC upon your death).

Despite a loss of realism, they could just let the NPC's hate vanish with the master's death.

10-21-2012 12:25 AM #3Yeah... wasn't thinking of it from the realism standpoint, but the party mechanics. They would have to put in some kind of hate reset for this to work. We all know how it typically works....the tank dies, mobs always shift attention to the next highest on the hate list.

If the wench decided to fire off an AOE and I couldn't reclaim hate fast enough to get the ads back on me...down she went. At least they did give us a fix for that....eventually.(0){DISCLAIMER} Posts may contain opinions based on personal experiences that are not be meant to be taken as facts.
