Abigail not using her AoE attack

As far as I know, Abigail AoE only attacks mobs that have either agroed onto you or her. In this case with pig farms, the pigs are all focused on the bait trap, not you or her. Once you've attacked the werepig, only that one werepig's agro gets placed on you, meaning her AoE attack will only affect that werepig since all the others are still focused on the bait. If you attacked each one once and went to the next one, you'll see that the AoE will be in effect. Hope this helps.

Hm, I'm still a bit confused because in some cases Abigail did used her AoE on multiple pigs although I didn't do anything differently as in other cases where she didn't. I guess there was some difference then... I'll make some experiments on that later when I have time. Thanks for the tip!
