I rarely have mobs end up physically behind me; most of them like to stay IN me. Which annoyingly counts as “behind” me for things like Maul.

I hadn’t noticed this exceptionally much before…

But last night, tanking a Pit of Saronwrap, the poison-throwing dudes right before Ick’s minion, whatever his name is… Everytime I tried to move the dudes out of their poison, they kept running to the side of me, or to the back, and I’d have to move again. So a fight that has usually been move-stop-move-stop for me just became a moving fight for the entire set of pulls…

Irritating, to say the least.

I've noticed this while levelling my bear tank, Mana tombs and pulling groups of 4-5 mobs and some of them end up behind you is really annoying as they don't move as I waddle arond trying to get them all in front of me. .-= ZombiePirateXXX´s last blog ..Merry Christmas =-.

I’ve been seeing this too, but I didn’t understand what I was looking at. Mostly I prolly annoyed the group with their carefully placed AoEs that I’d be collecting up mobs in one spot, and then slowly hopping backwards in order to get that one mob out from behind me — especially when it was the mob I’d just taunted off bad DPS aggro control and I’d have my butt to it. I’ve never had to pay attention to the ‘You are facing the wrong way!’ comments this much until now.

Huh. Until it gets fixed, that's something warrior tanks will really have to watch for, since Shockwave only hits mobs in front of you. .-= Ratshag´s last blog ..Gone Fishin' =-.

I have seen two different blue posts saying it’s not intended and they are looking at how to fix it.

This is apparently not an intentional change from what I understand, though that doesn't make it any less annoying nor guarantee it will be fixed anything but "soon (tm)". :-P Mobs getting behind
