Emnity bug?

[ChiefCurrahee]

Not sure if anyone else is experienceing this.

I was playing as level 29 Gladiator, using lv 27 gear & new lv 28 sword and lv 19 shield When my duo partern pulled hate I was unable to gain it back.

My enmity rotation was this: Provoke, ligth stab, cure II (self), cadence, circle blade, wardrum, provoke.

Now I was able to hold hate fine, as long as the mob didn't move. i.e. fighting where the mob spawns.

If I pulled it anywhere but where it spawned the mob would sometimes lose claim all togerther and path back to it's starting point.

If i lost hate it was impossible to gain back.
my duo parter was a lv 28 Thm. she would start to cure II herself after she took a coupel hits. I immediatly used: Provoke > wardrum > taunt > cure II (her) >rampart > Cure II her and the mob continued to attack her. You'd think that after all those hate tools it woudl at least turn back my way for a split second. It didnt; until she was dead.

another incident was losing agro on a mob part way through the fight, the when from red to yellow and started to path back, It re-agro'd my Thm partner, she took NO actions she just stood there and I provoked, war drumed and cure II'd her. and it still attacked her and not me.

So whats the deal? Are gladiators enmity tools working as intended? Is the link system broke? are enmity algorithems working right?

I think something needs to be looked into.

There seems to be alot of issues around pulling mobs out of their native territories.

My girlfriend and I were duoing molting mitelings yesterday, and since they are aggressive mobs we'd pull them out of their territory to fight them, not one fight would go by without the mob trying to return to it's territory, after which point all enmity and tp gaining abilities would just evaporate.

She as pugilist would go the entire fight without having enough tp to do a weaponskill, not because she wasn't successfully landing hits, but because her tp kept draining away as if she weren't in combat. And without warning or either of us moving the mob would just turn around and run away after about halfway through the fight.
