"The distance at which you'll aggro him is roughly radar range minus twice the width of the shaded annulus on the perimeter of your radar."

 * Huh...? --Gimmethegepgun 00:48, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Theres a shaded bit on the very edge of your compass, look in game.--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]îğá†ħŕášħ 00:49, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * See page history. I don't like teh language because aggro is usually talked about in relation to teh aggro bubble. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:02, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * About 2.5 times--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]îğá†ħŕášħ 01:03, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * k thx [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:44, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * So is this actually larger than spirit range? --◄mendel► 07:34, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * It's much easier to eyeball double the length of the shaded annulus than 2.5 times the aggro bubble range. Being able to eyeball the distance pretty precisely can help, as if you run forward too fast, you aggro both at once.  If you start inching slowly too far back, you might waste 5 minutes on it.

 * I think the operational word is "shaded annulus", because almost no one knows firstly what an "annulus" is (and can't be bothered to look it up), and also because I don't think people even know that it exists. I look at teh radar all the time, but I never really noticed how the shadow remains a constant and could be used for measuring until Giga said here and I thought about it somewhat.
 * If there was some other landmark, either on the compass or visually, that could be used that would work just as well. My main concern was that with the language used it would be hard for most typical players to understand what was being talked about. Aggro bubble, on the other hand, is hard not to know; I don't think it is too hard to conceptualize of 2.5 times the bubble.
 * I mean, whatever is easiest is fine by me. I understand the importance of accuracy too. I think what would help most is a screenshot demonstrating exactly how far away to be (by drawing on the compass) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:02, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
