Summary0019855: NPCs hit by the edge of AOE attacks aren't always aggroed

**Expected behavior and actual behavior:**

Expected: if you hit an NPC with an attack - any attack - then it should aggro and start attacking you.

Actual: by accident I discovered that sometimes NPCs hit at the edge/perimeter of your AOE attack are not always aggroed.

I was hitting lower level NPCs at the time (I was rank 40, NPCs were 9 or 10) so I'm wondering if this is to do with a weird interaction with aggro radius if there's a rank difference? Either way, if you've hit the NPC with something then any rank/distance based aggro factors should be ignored and the NPC should just enter the combat state.

**Steps to reproduce the problem:**

Tested by using Rite of Agony (PBAoE on the Zealot) on a R40 Zealot on the Bloodfiend Marauder's in the Inevitable City.

**Testing Screenshots/Videos/Evidences (always needed):**

The NPC on the right was hit and not aggroed. This could be replicated with multiple hits. If I moved closer then the hits would cause aggro.
