BUG with Avoidance VS Multiple Encounters

You should have full 360 degree Parry & Block chances, and Riposte to the front 180 degrees. Also NPCs do not follow the same restrictions towards the use of Flanking attacks, so it has no relevance if NPCs are attacking you from behind, the sides, or the front.Sure you weren't just unlucky on the avoidance "rolls"?</span><div></div>

<P>I could have been extremely unlucky, it's possible. As I said I'll need to do more testing with a parser (though I'll need to get different mobs in each encounter so I can tell who is who in the log).</P> <P><STRONG>BUT</STRONG></P> <P>It happened often enough for me to notice it and as it was almost certain death without a healer I tried not to do it too many times. Bearing in mind these are solo mobs. If I can take 1 encounter by myself comfortably, then why should 2 encounters with 3 people in a group make us have to evac?</P> <P>Definately need to do more testing.</P> <P>(And no, before people suggest it, the second encounter wasn't a heroic one, all encounters were solo and within 1 level of each other)</P>

Hmm, doesn't seem like anything but a bug.  I was in LT with a full camp and mobs all around me and I was avoiding most of it, whether they were in our active encounter or not.
