Fix stuck in combat
This seems to happen if you are in combat mode with a mob which does not die.
The easiest way to make it happen is attack something and use a skill that gives stealth, or retreat to a position where the mob can’t reach so it resets. When it resets without being killed you will get the stuck in combat mode effect until you hit a mob which does die.
It seems to happen at other times as well, but that is the most reliable way I’ve found to reproduce this effect. I reported it as a bug both in beta and at release, and haven’t heard anything official about it.
Hats off to all the ones who stood before me, and taught a fool to ride.
I’ve had mobs fighting me suddenly decide to leash back and run out of combat, but I stay in combat. If I wait a bit, the mob will return to its normal point, then because I am still in combat, it will come running back to attack me again. I’m not sure what the mechanics are for when a mob will leash, but it seems weird to just be fighting it and not running away and have it suddenly drop aggro and run away. (Only to come back in a bit after it’s healed up, while my heal never kicks in since I’m still ‘in combat’) It seems like if a mob is ever going to drop aggro and leash back to its spawn for any reason, combat should also drop on the player immediately.
Yeah, what BobTheJanitor said also. I didn’t think of this as a related issue, but I forgot how it also causes the stuck in combat effect.
It’s especially “fun” to get 9/10ths of the way through fighting a veteran in some crazy cave alone and it leashes, goes back to full health and comes back to attack me again immediately while I’m stuck at half health and all my skills are on cooldown from already fighting the kitten (I just went ahead and typed “kitten” there to save your server the trouble of editing it ;p).
PS. This game is awesome, it’s really the best game I’ve played in years, and I am impressed with how proactive the development team is with fixing things. I may point out a lot of flaws, but that’s just to help it get even better.

I’ve also had the weird resetting of mobs (at or very close to their spawn point, so it can’t be that I’ve pulled it too far), where I don’t heal but I also can’t damage them.
This keeps happening to me in jumping puzzles. VERY frustrating, considering it nerfs your speed/jumping distance.
