I wrote it so that if they&lt;br&gt;were attacked, the owner would jump in front and take the damage.&lt;br&gt;There were a number of problems with this approach, but the&lt;br&gt;easiest one to undersatnd is if the follower had poison on it&lt;br&gt;and the owner and follower were out of the room, the poison&lt;br&gt;damage would hit and the owner would 'jump in front' to take&lt;br&gt;the damage.&lt;br&gt;My goal with this change was to stop tanking, particularly in&lt;br&gt;mass spam in ars where some of the subclasses were able to&lt;br&gt;sit there and tank with their followers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've now changed it so that a follower _CAN_ be attacked by&lt;br&gt;someone and that person really will hit the follower, but after&lt;br&gt;a round or two (a heart beat) the attacker will switch to attacking&lt;br&gt;the owner. This might mean that you can still bounce someone&lt;br&gt;with a golem, having the golem tank, but it should not mean &lt;br&gt;that you can sit there for 10 rounds and have the golem tank.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've tested this a bunch, but there were lots of familiar files&lt;br&gt;to change, so please report bugs as you find them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think it's sort of a compromise between the two systems. Now&lt;br&gt;you can go back to aggro areas and have your followers take&lt;br&gt;damage for you for a round or two while you try and get explore&lt;br&gt;as well. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Razna.&lt;br&gt; sigh, Razan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
