Consider the following situation. Player A starts beating on Mob X. Player B comes along to heal Mob X -- bad boy there. The damage dealt to Mob X by A is going to be greater than its starting [[Lineage_2/Definitions#H|HP]], which is its maximum. | Consider the following situation. Player A starts beating on Mob X.

The thing is, the ''Hate'' Factor has to be an open-ended statistic; ''Hate'' must be allowed to build as long as the [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mob]] is alive, so that it can differentially attack a [[Lineage_2/Definitions#P|PC]].

Otherwise, should Player C come in to the ménage-à-trois above and deal damage equivalent to Mob X's starting [[Lineage_2/Definitions#H|HP]], Mob X could be possibly reduced to a race condition where it flip flops between the two [[Lineage_2/Definitions#P|PCs]] -- which is fairly stupid behaviour. | ||
