Permarooted mobs

[joligario]

So if I'm reading this argument right, there is perception that a permarooted mob attacks on hatelist and not proximity? So if a tank generates enough hate and steps back, a permarooted mob will ignore proximity and continue to focus on the hatelist top?

Not really, if the tank would step out of melee range, and the mob could summon it would. If the tank steps out of range, and it can't summon(either it's been used already or the mob doesn't summon at all) the mob will turn to the next person in range at the top of the hate list. It's not like the mob will keep the tank targeted out of melee range just because he is on top of the aggro list.
