Miscellaneous: Xenevorash should flee at low health

[Rygar]

Xenevorash (Monk final epic mob) is currently not fleeing at low HP on P99 (unsure about Deep/Vorash, but I believe they should as well but may social root each other). I saw on wiki it says 'Does not run at low health anymore.' Was his flee removed from lack of evidence? I saw he was beefed up a bit in 2015, but did not see any mention about the fleeing on P99 searches.

Saw this guy taken out by 5 groups of 50+ people (with a few exceptions, those being 48-49). First, they killed Deep. Then, they killed Vorash. Then they killed Xenevorash. So, it looks like Deep's a PH for Vorash and Vorash is a PH for Xenevorash. He drops a piece of the Monk Epic. Yes, he is level 60, and yes, he does have QUITE a lot of HP. There were about 6 Wizzies nuking, 3 Monks kicking and 5 Warriors slashing...and yet it STILL took a while for them to take him out. Anyway, he's like any other undead...super-aggro. You get too close and you're toast. One good thing about this guy, though, is he runs at low HP.

Xenevorash always runs on low health, so if fighting on the platform, he will run into the water.

Xenevorash always runs on low health, so if fighting on the platform, he will run into the water, another reason to fight on the beach.

The above was probably taken from the guide posted by the Alla comment, but below is first hand account during their hand in fight:

I missed the fight with Deep and Vorash, and after getting a res, arrived as Xenevorash was just being started on. Res effects kept me from running immediatly in to battle, so I took some shots instead, until a CH came and healed me. I grabbed some gear and attacked just as he started to run.

Man what a pain in the behind this fight was. Molo'd with 60 monk and cleric merc. He was easy but the stun would hit every time I dropped him down 6-7%. At 19% health the real fun began, he ran. My swimming was only at 150 and he swam all over that damn lake just out of reach. He doubled back a few times and finally slowed down when he got to 10%.

75 pally solo'd, undead nukes would not cast. Got message, this spell only works on the undead. No slays either /sigh.

edit- he ran at 15%(mebbe 20), and had to chase him down underwater. run5 catches him np.

Killed him last night with a 5 boxed group. 65 war (pre-ele with around 50 AAs), 65 pala (ditto), 51 monk, 65 clr (time level- but really unnecessary to be timed), and a 65 dru.
Handed in eye and FDd monk. Paladin then stun pulled Deep. Deep and Vorash were split tanked. Worked on killing Deep then killed Vorash (NOTE: Vorash also runs when below 20%).
Then pulled Xenevorash with paladin again. Had warrior tank him with monk and paladin as DPS (didn't really use monk for DPS on Deep and Vorash since I forgot about her while I was getting the feel of their DPS). He was not all that difficult and ran at 20% as well.

Deep and Vorash are roughly equivalent to Trunt as far as damage goes. Deep's proc stripped Speed of the Shissar from the cleric as well, so be prepared for this. Both ran at 10% health. Deep ran towards the goblin ruins, and Vorash ran towards the Firiona Vie zone line along the lake shore - the paths may not be set, and it probably changes depending on where they hit 10%. Deep didn't seem to summon, but Vorash most definitely does (healing the shaman and pulling agro made this obvious).

Xenevorash spawned where the projection was, and hits considerably harder. He is level 65. At 200+ in all resistances, his stun landed frequently. Having more than one tank may be a good idea in case one gets stunned and loses agro. He runs at 10%, and ran towards the FV zone line like Vorash did. He is snarable, but it took several attempts for the wizard to get it to land. If you can tank an unslowed raven in Plane of Nightmare, this mob should be easy. Don't let the level 65 con scare you.

Oh yeah, I lost Xene in the water for a VERY long time when he ran. He wasn't healing though so it was all good.
