Maybe try raising a bit your toughness or if it doesn't work with another class (and make sure your teammates are lower than you :) Yep someone in my guild said the same thing...so I think I will try adding a toughness infusuion and see if that helps. Thanks for the reply!

Many of you have answered that you can still pew pew the mob from distance: wrong, saul's clones can bodyblock the projectiles causing issues. > > I don't know what makes the aggro mechanic there, but it might be one of those: most condi damage (if playing condi soulbeast) or maybe even most damage OR number of attacks per second. Soulbeasts usually have many fast hitting attacks like lb 2 or 5, it might be the issue. The person who does most ammount of attacks gets some mob aggro, but not sure about Saul, just an idea. Lastly soulbeast has that weird toughness thingy on merge. If you are the only soulbeast in the group, maybe you get to be the 2nd highest toughness after tank which causes the mob to aggro. Anyway this is an interesting question, I'd like to know that too. I will try to test it this week if I manage to convince my friends to play ranged on Deimos. > Btw, did you try to stealth yourself for a moment to lose aggro ? I am not sure if it will work, but might be worth giving a try. The lb 3 should be able to do the job. Thanks! This is helpful! I do have that extra toughness from the pet merge so we tried where I unmerge before the team comes back to the platform with saul and he was still choosing me. I have had a couple people tell me hes supposed to target lowest toughness but thats not working if its true because I have more toughness than the rest of the DPS merged with pet. He will target me if Im merged or not. Will try the LB3 to see if he will de aggro next time we do it. thats a good idea!

ok that's weird that its been me every time for the past few months then, just rng I guess. thank you

It was the restored boreal weapons that caused all the uproar that they were needed to make the next set and many people had deleted them. Then they put the notice in red letters in the description of the next weapon set (I forget the name) that they would be needed to craft the next set of weapons...and then changed their mind that they would not be needed after all! Makes me think that they just decided against having people hold on to crafted story sets for new story sets to avoid confusion.

again, I am just wondering HOW he chooses his fixate? that was my question but thank you for your reply

Still...not my question but thank you for your reply

ok well it also puts them out of range of the slam so they don't have to worry about it but that wasn't my question or concern anyways.

because it puts them in the middle of all the sauls when he splits and thats not good. they cant go too far back or they get the hands and off to the sides but out of the middle puts them in the slam area which is the whole reason for doing ranged strat, not to have to worry about the slams. Its just difficult when he fixates on me at the edge of the platform and is in the middle of all the oils. Just looking for any insight as to how he chooses his fixate to make it easier on everyone.

over 2 months later and bug still persists. Happened to our group last night. please fix!
