The Thousand Maws of TotoRak: Enemies attacking through walls

Just wanted to point this out because it happens numerous times in this r30 dungeon and I don't believe this is supposed to happen.

One consistent example I found was when going on the northern most side of the dungeon after dispelling the level III magicka barrier, you come upon a spiral staircase to descend to the last boss's location. While going down the stairs EVERY TIME a wisp attacks my party through the wall and provides further aggro hailing down on us.

It occurs in many other places as well and I would just like to make the Devs aware of this issue.

Let me know where else you guys have had this issue :)

Sorry, but am I really the only one noticing this >.<?

Nope.

ah ok, hope they address this then because I didn't see that earlier today =/.

Didn't mean to double post a topic my bad.

Nope just did the raid too and it was kinda annoying. But you can see the mobs location on the map so you should be able to avoid this most of the time.

I've done it 15 times (no hyperbole there) and every time I did north side (13 out of 15) no matter where I would be on those stairs a wisp would aggro through the wall.

full clear of that dungeon 10 times. Yes, a few will attack through the walls but most are avoidable and I think it actually makes the dungeon fun. Without the random "omg wtf is attacking me" moments, that dungeon would be a cake walk.

So having mobs with X-ray vision and the ability to perform ranged attacks through solid walls should make up for not designing challenging content? Yeeeeeah, no.

it makes it semi-exciting

Semi-exciting through poor design doesn't beat exciting through good design.

maybe I am, maybe I'm not, but for once, a broken mechanic has made the game more exciting so why not roll with it while SE hammers out the mechanics that actually need to be fixed asap.

To my knowledge "Line of Sight" has never been a big part of SE's MMO vocabulary. I think it would be interesting to have "ghost-like" mob types who could do things such as this, but when dealing with physical mobs they really need to fix the whole LoS issue... especially if they intend on leaving each and every mob with a ranged attack.
