What I found odd is....

It's easier for me to trek into a dungeon by myself than with a party. If I get aggro (or attack) one mob, rarely is there a link. But If I'm in a party with a few other people... it will be linked, and then death ; ;

So it does seem... odd

For now, for these situations, I recommend we go in as a 'party' but not in a 'party'. We can heal each other, and fight the same critter, but avoid the links.
