Moles and their digging move

[ellohwell]

Oh wow and the Nobel Prize goes to . . .

I used to run from the Moles all the time, but with the Hedgemole at Broken Water (LQ), when I ran away, they just kept being underground and wouldn't surface. So I had to move in and eat the attack to make it come back so I can kill it =_=;;

diversion?

I was solo grinding on some Drybone Shrew today, and I think I have figured out how to not get hit when they jump out of the ground. What I have noticed, if I move away from where I was standing when they dig under, then turn to face where I was standing, I never get hit. In fact, it seems they do not even use the ability on me. I took a video to demonstrate. Keep in mind I've only tried this on Drybone Shrew.

Thanks god, we can avoid mob's AoE . Otherwise, mages would be very useless
It is why, my THM or CON is always positionned in the back of peists...

Positions means a lot actually in the current game..

So you're telling me I knew about something since closed beta that no one else ever knew!? You've got to be kidding me!

Wish this worked on the Hedgemoles on Lv40 leves/in Darkhold that shoot AoE spines when they shoot up.

Yeah, this. No matter how far I run when I run, those hedgemoles' burrow cannot be dodged.

This reminds me of those days when ppl get hit by Puk's sommersault and died from it, when i told them that their attacks are frontal, just go beside/behind it when they start casting.

? All I did to avoid that attack was move away right when my targeting cursor disengaged from them. I found that out after I downed my 5th mob.
