It happens no matter how far he is from them at any point. When he is following me around, runs right up to any new enemy and hacks away. I also tried not using aura of command on him and luring enemies near to him. He still uses the red stuff in that scenario. I would just lure them to the deathknight as a matter of course, but it takes sooo much longer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
