I went to the UW as a 55 Monk last night, as part of a chest running group. I loaded and found that some **** had aggro'ed all of the Bladed Aatxes around the spawnpoint.
Most of us died, but I got rezzed by a monk, who then died. I was standing right next to a Bladed Aatxe, it was in my aggro circle and I was moving - but it didn't attack.
Wow it's probably a bug where it thinks you're dead. If you really do have only 1 health that would be my guess. That's pretty cool you should have taken other screens of you right next to it.
lol ive had this happen to me. ide never really been close to a live aataxe before where we both alive, so i decided to check it out. lol bad idea. i got a little close and... WHAM. luckily it was my warrior and i only ~100 dmg. then i ran.
