I don't see anyone by that name around here....

Ever since the recent pathing work was done, I've been getting a ton of the "I don't see anyone by that name around here...." bug on mobs I've been kiting in Darkwoods/East Plaguelands. Initially my character can "see" the mob to snare and nuke once or twice, but then the bug will usually strike mid-fight and I cant cast on the mob anymore.
 
Yeah ive had this too, only with certain spells, and it prevents my pet from attacking sometimes aswell, kind of annoying.
 
Sometimes the game thinks the mob is under the world or that you don't have line of sight. Reset your target by targeting another mob, even your pet should do, then retarget the mob, and you should be able to nuke again.
 
Ive had this same problem recently, and I have tried the retargeting thing and that doesnt work for me.

I think the issue might have to do with lag... but it might also be an issue with pathing.

Here is what i have discovered kiting wraiths in south badlands with my bard:

If im kiting on a level surface it will happen MUCH less often than a hilly surface, but it will still happen.
Ive noticed that when I get that message the mob appears to be stopped in one place and not moving, and I will continually get the "noone around here with that name" message until I let the mob hit me, sometimes i have to let it hit me more than once. Once the mob has hit me it will start moving normally and i can cast again. I have let the mob hit me two different ways:
1) I run up to it where it has appeared to stop and let it maul me or
2) stand in place, and let the mob "warp" to me and hit me, if i stay in one place the mob will eventually warp to me and hit me, then ill be able to cast normally again

Both methods have the same effect.

I think its a bug.

Hunting in what used to be South Ro (or anywhere), If something goes over a hilltop when im casting my darkness spell, it gives me the "I see no one" and my pet wont attack it, but lifetap spells work just fine over the hilltop.. its all frustrating
 
This is an exceedingly annoying bug then. It happens 50% of the time, so I effectively can't solo anymore unless I want to waste time re-zoning and re-medding. It's just not worth it.
 
Letting the mob hit you a couple times resets it and you can then cast on it... but the stuff I imagine you are soloing at level 65 would melt your face rather quickly. My bard can no longer DoT/AE kite anymore because of this bug, it can be flat ground in an open field but all of a sudden I cant see the Hill Giant anymore... but yet I can. :?

I suspect its just a bug from Wiz reworking the Pathing system that will be smoothed out in the not too distant future. :D
