| Aggro | When a mob attacks a player. May be caused by these reasons: - Player damages a mob, or gives him more damage than the other player attacking the same mob (Special attacks, or critical damage has more chance to get aggro).
- Healing a player or buffing him causes some mobs to attack healer/buffer.
- Player has approached too close to the mob.
- Player is in an opposing faction.
