Game Mechanics: Fear and low health mobs

[eriamjh]

NPCs are also not slowing down at low health when feared. Only after they break fear.

Had this issue a lot today too, mob broke out of fear at 1% HPs and came running towards me at full speed instead of continuing to flee snared.

Another issue with fear spells I saw today: I feared a mob with Invoke Fear and a bard cast Angstlich's Appaling Screech on the mob, the bard fear didn't overwrite Invoke Fear but the mob stopped being feared and chased me after the bard fear wore off. I got a worn off message for Invoke Fear after it's regular duration would have been over though.

Those two issues might be related so I'm putting that in here too.

I have observed the same behaviour with root in upper guk: Rooted frogs that were low health when root broke would jump me, often hit me once, then turn to run. This is when they were like... below 5-10% when they would often run at 15% when not rooted.

Cheers,

This is classic after what i can recall.

When mobs are under an effect the prevents them from engaging conventionally, they need to take damage AFTER the effect wears off before they will actually flee. When I'm fearkiting, I let pet finish off mobs but usually just tank one round as it runs back to me. Saves me having to run over and loot it so I consider it a wash.
