combat question

[darxar]

ok, sometimes, seems to happen when i attacking mobs that have some kind of decoration by there name, not the ^^^ .. anyway when i stun them and try and move behind them, they turn with me, so i can not get off my pos. back attack?  i may be an epic or harder than normal mob.  ? this is even when Im level 18 and the mob is like level 15..  ..   is this suppose to happen?

Hiya Darxar!  Well, for one, you could be missing with your stun.

If it was an epic you wouldn't have had much a chance to fight it. Epics are 2x-4x raid mobs. if it had a single ^ though thats still solo, but they follow the rules that if you hit them while stunned, they break stun immediatly.

You can still get flank and back attacks on mobs that aren't stunned when you're solo. Just move behind or through them and spam the back attack through the movement. It will fire off.

The stun duration on some epic mobs (even non X2, X4) is very short.  So if you're fighting one there is a chance that the stun lands but it's so short it ends right away, and the monster turns to face you.Happens to me a lot on mobs that I don't think should qualify... but anyway.

<p>I don't remember the command lines to do it, but you need to change the way mob difficulty is displayed from simple (frames) to detailed (arrows).  You can do this in the options somewhere, probably under interface or something like that.</p><p>Any mob with up arrows ^, ^^, or ^^^ will only be stunned half as long when you use cheapshot on them.  That's the problem you are having.</p>

Sometimes, the mob turns with you and you can still land your back attacks and he suddenly turns his back to you ...
