That's gathering that you're talking about.
First, that gatherer couldn't have helped you anyway. Â You have absolutely no combat skills while in a Gathering or Crafting class, and if you swap to a Disciple of War or Magic, all of your abilities go on a 20-30 second CD.
Second, Gatherers (of all three varieties) get an ability called Stealth. Â This makes them completely invisible to the mobs around them, even if the mobs are standing right on top of them. Â I am not sure if you're even able to get hit with AoE while in stealth, but I've never been.
Gatherers gather wherever the nodes are. Â You can't see the nodes unless you're in a Gathering class, and you can't see someone else's nodes, so even if there's nothing there for you, that doesn't mean there isn't a node there for the other player.
