"The blinded mobs only seem to run when he hits them with force shock, a nuke with a stun component. I have no idea why but I'm positive there is a correlation."
You lost aggro while the mob was blinded to a group member (the Wizard) who was not in melee range. When this happens on P1999, the mob will flee. Force Shock, being a combination stun/nuke, likely generates very high aggro.
Flash of Light, for whatever reason (and there are many potential causes), doesn't make things stick to the Paladin like glue on P1999 in the near-overpowered manner that it did on Live. Life can be tough until you get Stun at 30.
As for the current fleeing behavior, I can't recall whether it's accurate or not, because the spell generated such ridiculous hate on Live that I virtually never lost aggro (even when telling the group to TRY to pull it), certainly not often enough to remember 10 years later. That may well be correct. Bottom line, don't use Flash of Light on P1999 if you may lose aggro to someone who isn't in melee range when a fleeing mob will wipe your group.
