Game Mechanics: Social mobs running

[Striiker]

I'll weigh in on this too. While I don't have the exact percentages (others are quite certain of their calculations though), I do remember using proximity to hold mobs in place when I didn't have a means of rooting / snaring. The Ghetto root phrase was one I used and heard used as well, referring to the proximity of a mob to others of its social group. We could hold stuff in place while also being far enough away from mobs so that they didn't engage us. This also allowed the quad-kiting I guess. I used to quad the Gnome guards a lot with my wizard and they all stuck together until the last one (on partial resists).
