Interesting aggro find

[thedu]

I began trying to work on the Orb of Tunare quest yesterday when I found something interesting.  The first part of the quest requires killing a ^^^ level 60 mob. Now my experience has been so far that any ^^^ would be extremely difficult and that I would need a tank/dps to help out. But I decided to try it anyways.  The mob pops up when you get to specific location and starts attacking. As soon as it started I just sat there is with Oberon on for a while and I realized that for the most part it would be easy as it wasn't doing too terrible damage.  Here's where it gets weird. There are a number of lower level grey mobs right around it; and what I was going to do is have my dog attack after getting aggro from the ward and as a starter I changed weapons to spear and staff so I could cast rabies and leg bleed.I had not yet sent the dog into attack but as soon as I cast rabies one of the mobs started attacking me.  I know that since rabies is an AE spell that other mobs nearby are usually pulled in but only after the dog attacks.  Anyone know why simply casting the ability would pull another mob? Also, I was not in attack mode when I cast oberon.PS: I did kill the mob.<div></div>

I only had Rabies for a short time in beta, but the way I remember it is that Rabies is like an unlocked AE DoT, centered on the dog.  The dog could in fact just sit there doing nothing and if a mob got close enough, Rabies would hit.<div></div>
