So up through level 9-ish everything is rosy with my Engy. I have 4 points in Empathy now. I heal my team. The quest sequence takes me to Cycorp Level 3 (Product Development) and suddenly there's one type of eenemy in nearly every mob who instantly aggros me and only me, even if I've never shot at him. One Empathy and BAM this guy is on me like white on rice and can kill me in one or two hits. No amount of Commando taunt on my team seems to do jack to pull this guy off me or keep him off me.

Is this normal? Are there more insta-priest hate mobs throughout the higher levels of the game? How do you deal with this guy? Do you just let your teammates die and not cast Empathy until he's dead?
