I investigated the dismounts further:

95% of the time the unnessecary ...

dismount to start fight before farm.

will happen when the mob that attacking the char puts a debuff on the player  (like bleed or a curse) or when the  herb/mob is surrounded by an area effect that gives a debuff.

Examples:

- Shadow Horses in eastern Azsuna  (put slow debuff on char)

http://www.wowhead.com/spell=221738/aura-of-lethargy

- Bears in Stormheim (put a bleed on char)

- Vrycul NPCs in Stormheim  inside the "misty areas" ( area/environment puts a debuff that char )

I hope that helps.

Thank you -  will try that plugin

Yeah...from my observation it is mostly when herbing next to sleeping mobs, that "wake up"/aggro just thew seconds the char lands next to the node to gather it.

Same goes with "rare" mobs.
