"Unless it's at the beginning of a fight"

Yes I'm talking specifically about the very first shield lob at the start of a battle when the enemy puts out a large aoe and I run out so the only enmity I've established is shield lob....when the aoe fades a few times I've seen the monster run to the dps. It's not a huge problem I just wish they would see me running away and realise all I've done is shield lob. Now what I do is just stay inside them all if that happens at the start, and let some retard tell me I can't dodge aoes
