haha. won't work to "stand and melee" at higher lvls (not many classes can
actually do this without a healer). believe me, when you've got a total of
roughly 450-500 hp and the monsters are hitting for anywhere from 50-70 in
the mid to high 20's and kicking/bashing for a descent amount of dmg (and
just about all monsters stun on a regular basis), then you WILL NOT STAND
AND MELEE. And no, the mob will not leave you if he senses that he can kill
you (ie. once your health is down far enough, there's no getting him off of
you. period).
your best bet is just to stay back and make sure he doesn't come after you,
or root the son-of-a-bitch. if he does get a hold of you, you're gonna die
real quick if you don't do something about it (and no, that doesn't mean
melee).
keep on with your melee, as it is not suicide at lvl 13... but make sure
you don't make a habit of it, as when you pass 20, and move into the mid
20's and higher, you'll see the light, and realize why some of us don't even
carry a weapon anymore :)
