Yea I don't think sneak is supposed to be as effective as it is on this server.

I just tested this on live. Two things.

1. Sneak didn't help, the 2 assisted.
2. King should run straight through at you.

I sneak, con the 2 to make sure their backs to me, both con indifferent. Reaver PH cons ready to attack since he is facing me. Throw a weapon, he charges me and the 2 on sides aggro.
Things may have changed, this post from 2000

clearly describes the tactic being described in the OP video

4) Using Thrown Weapons and Sneak to split.

With the changes to Sneak (no longer dropping when you use a thrown weapon ) another use has come up! In order for this to work, you must be using a ranged weapon with a ranger greater then the static aggro of the mob ( ie method # 3 listed above): engage sneak, throw, insta split. Personally I'm using summoned suriken for this, and I haven't had to use FD on a split since I got back into EQ. This includes splitting spawns where the mobs are literally on top of each other, although some times I have hit the mob i didn't have targeted, I have never aggro'ed the other.

I can't comment on the King's pathing once agro'ed, but I do note its different to other emu's. Perhaps intentionally changed - no idea.
