I’ve recently started levelling a thief (I have an 80 engineer) and i’m noticing a lot of times when mobs can hit me in auto attack range and I don’t fight back. The mobs seem to stand just out of my range but they can still hit me. This is particularly noticeable vs Ettins and everything in underwater combat. My character just floats there taking hits and not responding.
It is fine while you have the initiative to gap close but a lot of the time you don’t because you aren’t auto attacking to gain any. Everytime I close the gap, the mob again retreats into it’s own auto attack range yet it is beyond my own. This can’t be intended as warriors do not have this issue….
