For new (or not new) zdhs in group play - nems spawn elites on you, so spawn them in the right direction
This is something that keeps coming up since forever and i figured this will help some zdhs and make life easier for the rest of the party. As zbarb this makes me very sad.
Elites from pylons do not spawn randomly, they always spawn on top of you, so you decide where they will end up.
What keeps happening in group play is zdh randomly clicks, an elite spawns on the wrong side, or near a wall, it cant be flipped and sometimes it cant even walk towards the place you are fighting because it gets stuck between the pylon and other mobs.
Less important but also on topic, you want to spawn them as far away from the pylon so dont click right next to pylon then activate it. Click it from afar and have your char walk towards it and spawn from the farthest distance possible.
You want to spawn them in the direction the fight is going to happen, this usually - but not necessarily - means spawning them in the forward direction. A simple rule of thumb is spawn them towards the other elite (s) or towards an open area/intersection.
