Profile issue or glitch? Anyone know?

[Malice211]

Over the past several weeks, I have been enjoying the process of writing a private 1-85 grind profile. It has been going very well and the guides and suggestions on the site have been most helpful. The only issue I have noticed is in the movement from hotspot to hotspot. On occasion, my toon will be traveling between hotspots and, instead of targeting mobs and killing them, he will continue on his way and pull agro from an enemy mob. Most of the time my toon will turn right around and soundly slaughter the one or two pulled mob and continue on his way, targeting properly again. However, on rare occurrences, the toon will not stop to fight, continue on his way moving forward dragging the pulled mob behind him, sometimes getting a few more pulls besides, and then turning to fight. I have noticed that in all of these situations, the click to move feature in HB has clicked a point on the screen a great distance away. It is only after my toon has reached the point that had been clicked that he turns to fight.

Now I make sure to list every mob id in my profiles so that everything of XP value will get targeted and killed. I have ?kill between hotspots? checked and this feature normally works very well. It is just these odd occurrences that I find distressing. If they were not happening, I do not believe my toons of any class would die, ever.

Now I see where there is a new version of HB out today. I am going to install it tonight and give it a try to see if the issue still occurs. However, given the number of great profile writers on the site, I thought I would ask if anyone knows what I may be doing wrong or if this is just a common glitch that happens from time to time.

Thanks all.

Add mobs to factions
This will make it stop and attack

Sadly, I have every single mob in every zone entered into the faction list. I learned that one the hard way when I first started the project. As I say, my toon will travel along fine targeting and killing and then when it is time to switch to a new hotspot, the click to move will sometimes click a spot really far away to travel to and the toon does nothing until he has reached that destination. during this long run, he may pass by a mob he was happily killing a few minutes before but until he hits that clicked spot, he will not target or kill. I find it strange as most of the time, the click to move feature will only click a spot a few yards ahead and maybe a bit further when traveling on a straightaway on a road. Its a mystery to me.

Kill between hotspots enabled?
what CC you use and what faction / char lvl ...

Kill between hotspots is always enabled. I use multiple different CC's on multiple different classes, both custom and the standard that come with HB. My toons are at all different levels between 1 and 85 although the issue doesn't come about until lvl 20 or so, or at least that I have noticed. I state again, it does not happen all the time. It is a very rare occurance. It just looks odd when he is moving along at a nice pace, laying waste to all living creatures and then decides to do a runner through a mob and is half dead before he turns to fight. I can live with it (even if they cant) but it would look kind of strange if anyone was actually in any of the areas that I am. The purpose of me doing my own private profiles is to avoid player reports after all. : )
