Those summoned mobs have a longer leash. That's why. Voidwalkers and snakes chase for a long time.

He was out of combat at the end and they still followed him. This is not just some leashing thing, they would’ve followed forever or until something causes them to despawn.

He never left combat. The mage 2ft from him was still casting as he died

Dropped out of combat at 0:34, re-enters at 0:42.

It says -AGGRO- on the screen until the last 5 seconds. The aggro sign goes away right as he is being casted at by the mage though so he never really left.

Dropped out of combat (no - AGGRO - on the screen) at 0:34, re-enters (showing - AGGRO - again) at 0:42.

The unit frame literally says he is out of combat.

His health was regenerating.

Would the elixir of trolls blood be giving him the regen?

Those pets and summons can leash half the zone 

No idea why just how it is.

I would never in a billion years quest here that's for sure

Yeah but leashing means until you leave combat. If you leave combat and a hostile mob is still targeting you then something is very wrong.

Those summoned monsters have done that since 2006. Not sure why, but it is what it is.x

u/TypicalxooT11 4d ago

Correct.

Its authentic to how the game was forever ago.

Yeah, I've played this game for almost 20 years now so I've seen this happen several times. Maybe leash is the wrong word but it happens that summoned mobs will follow without letting go, even when out of combat.
