Every now and then, when I hit a mob with Tackling Slash to immobilize it, the damn thing 'slides away', sometimes up into the air, down into the ground, into terrain, or across the ground. Whatever. When this happens, my character runs after the mob, and stands there like an idiot, and I can't do jack ****. I can't shoot it with a bow, I can't knife throw it, I can't auto attack with daggers.

I recall reading about this stupid bug waaaay back when the Fish first came out, and the first Sins started getting up in levels.

So... WTF am i supposed to do when I immobilize a mob, it slides into the god damn ground, starts pounding on me, and I can't hit back?

PWI needs to start banning the mobs that are glitching me, since it's against the rules.

Or at least fix the damn bug. I'm tired of having to reset/kite/fly/whatever these mobs because some idiot in China decided to write a line of code by hitting his keyboard with his chair.

And yeah, gonna submit a bug report, 'cause I'm tired of it. >_> Not that it will fix it.

    >.> I have never had a mob that I tackling slashed slide into the ground before..

    The only time they "slide" is if they were casting a spell/moving to a squadmate while I TS them. Especially in instances where the mobs move at like 25 meters/sec. It's just lag.

    But in all of my playing, I have never had a mob that I TS become unable to attack (with anything, including knife throw and a bow).

    Since an Oracle pulled him from bottom and didn't seem to get stuck after that. Waited for a Cleric to finish, and couldn't figure why she was cussing, then got stuck and knew. Run in place and ..................

    Don't know if the TS had anything to do with it or not, just know stuck is stuck, and since they can beat on you but you are defenseless...... bug, ah ya

    I'll have to check when I can actually play in dungeons again but I do recall reporting the issue.

    I know that in 79 if you are in stealth and you TS a patrolling mob occasionally it will slide away and be invulnerable, meaning you have to force stealth if you don't have room to kite away.

    Same applies to most places I believe, anything that has a patrol course will sometimes slide away and beat on you for a bit while it can't be harmed.
    This also applies to "runner" type mobs that always run from you 2x. Coming out of stealth, it auto picks up that you are there and tries to run away. In the frame time of you hitting TS from stealth, the mob has attempted to run away on server side, thus causing it to "slide" away by the time you get it.
    I can see what you see not,
    Vision milky, then eyes rot.
    When you turn, they will be gone,
    Whispering their hidden song.
    Then you see what cannot be,
    Shadows move where light should be.
    Out of darkness, out of mind,
    Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.

    TT99 Gold daggers can still reach the mob in both instances. b:avoid
