> I don't mind Dying, It's usually my fault anyway. But today I'm on the Battlements of Galadon, taking a look at a Water Elemental trying to kill the ghost of the Conjurer who summoned it. Next thing I know Amprend the Arbie attacks it to shut it up, and I get hit with a Geyser that Puts me at -3. I'm way out of the range of this thing to begin with. **Ok, stop here. You are not out of the range of the thing, the thing isn't a charmed mob, it's a regular mob once the conjurer loses control of it. The same thing would happen to you if tiamat wandered into town and you wanted to watch her fight. Just to make it clear, uncharmed mobs don't fall into pc-pk ranges.** Then while I'm hoping a miracle will come along and save me, I get hit with another that kills me. This is probably a bug that should be fixed as soon as possible. **As discussed above, this is not a bug, but a feature. If you were to walk into most any high ranking players fighting any high ranking spell casting mobs you would probably get hit with an area spell and die. The elemental is no different, it's just a mob that's tracking the conjurer, trying to kill it. NOW, what you could complain about is that the conjurer is being tracked by the elemental after it had (I assume) killed the conjurer once already. THAT might be something to complain about, but.. I think that is probably a 'feature' also.** ..Rome..
