I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed that since 3.1, mobs seem to just be more difficult to position, and then keep in position. By this I mean they either freak out when I take a step to the left, right, or backwards or they randomly walk behind me for no reason whatsoever. Infact, one time I did Nexus and the last boss kept walking behind me, I was constantly walking backwards the entire fight, and when she froze me, I just had to spin in circles to keep her somewhat in front of me for the duration. For groups of mobs, a couple things I’ve determined to help this situation are simply stunning them, normally after they get out of a stun they’ll just take a step to position themselves and stay put.. or what I've been callign sidestepping. Sidestepping is simply taking a step backwards while rotating to either the right or left, I’m not sure why it works, but it does. What are your thoughts, am I just crazy?
Update: I'm just crazy/experienced a bug, since making this post I haven't noticed any other oddities in the way mobs move.
Update 2: Patch 3.3 introduced the same issue with mobs, and I noticed this post actually got a few hits on it from Google. I can't remember if I played/tanked the first week after 3.2, so I can't say if the issue was present after 3.2 went through. I think it's either lag due to people coming back to play the new content, or problems with the new patch's coding, or the servers rejecting it for some reason.
