Hi
I took a long break from the game, when I left EVs were very easy to manage, cast them, run away... wait... wait then pick up loot.
Now, every time I cast them they keep coming at me not agroing the Monster, but the player instead. How should I work this system?
Sometimes I cast invisibility on me but the EV has moved to far from them mob to return and kill it, and I end up dispelling the EV and trying again. It is really a pain.
Hope to get some useful tips. Thanks guys.

EV had their AI tweaked to be more era accurate accoding to the information available.
What I do when using EV's is trying to place them on the tile right next to the mob...behind him actually, as illustrated here:
This way, if the EV does not target the monster immediately, I can move around and "kite" the EV to bump into the monster, therefore aggroing onto it, and sticking there.
I then wait for the monster to get low enough in health (4% for bigger mobs like balrons and AW's, can be up to 8% for less resistent mobs like EG's and blood eles), cast an explode on them and immediately cast dispel on the EV. That way I get the killer shot in to get fame/karma and the EV is dispelled and not chasing me around while I try to get separation to cast dispel.

I've taken a char or two to Lord without many killshots.

Then poison or your pets are what's killing the mob, otherwise no karma for you.

For some mobs a few blade spirits do well. They are easier to manage and won't kill you as fast if you end up tangled in the fight.

Its just EVs are like toxic blackhole juice blenders that eat through anything
