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.

That is exactly what happens. Of course all of these mobs can also summon so once they are actually damaged, said tank is not going to be able to stay out of melee range.

hmm, how do you make a perma-rooted mob otherwise? is there an individual flag? I always did them with just 0 speed.

This thread isn't about making the mob permarooted. It is about making the permarooted mobs use an aggrotable instead of acting like a rooted mob who hits the nearest pc instead of using the aggrotable.
