Yesterday when I was mining silver ores, Monarch Ogrefly suddenly popped and zerging me. Managed to get away with very critical health.

Today, same thing happened again. And this time, that same NM managed to pound me to the ground. And without ability to change class or using mounts or even teleporting away while "engaged" left me with nothing to defend myself.

Do we have to rely on Stealth for gathering now, especially since that ability slowed gathered walking speed like a snail? Would be understandable if DoLs are gathering on dangerous zones.
