Amorphous Mass's in Dragon Necropolis Break agro almost instantly if you attack them from afar. I would DoT one and sit down and they would die a minute later.

Only thing with them is when they die they spawn 1-3 mini blobs and they do keep agro. They also try to run but after one got away it came back 15 mins later with the same % hp as when my DoT wore off.
 
This is not exclusive to one mob. It has to deal with a whole world full of mobs. Some have different argo ranges then others. With focuses being so high at end game, extended range items one can nuke away at a mob forever and only get the fresh outta OOC regen timer. Of course the regen on most mobs is so high wizzies, mages cant really take advantage of it. It is a DoT exclusive bug for the most part.

Sometimes a really weird thing will happen and not always on the same mob. I do not know how to duplicate it as I have been pulling my hair out to figure it out. But anyways if your out of max agro range using this same bug, and the mages/BST/necro pet attacks by putting it on guard right close to to the mob, it will beat on the mobs doing the pets regular damage, but the mob is unable to, or the scripting does not recognize the pet is being hit. I was able to solo Seru once with this bug, but could never duplicate it even standing on the same part and putting my pet in the exact same place. I speed up the process casting scorching skin when I find it. A friend BST and NEC confirmed that sometimes they get the bug as well but were not able to duplicate. I have never had it happen with a ENC, DRU, CLR.
Imagine Frostcrypt where very few mobs see through IVU. One mage/necro can solo the whole instance most likely and CoH anyone to loot. Get into agro range of the mob however, and it will take it's damage as normal.

Whoever finds and confirms how to make this bug work 100% of the time will get a red cent from me :)
