Run (away) Speed Changes

Perhaps I am too used to the way things have been here... but it seems to me that mobs used to run significantly more slowly than they do now when at low health.

In fact, in classic, many mobs would "auto-snare". My brother and I even had a term for it, we would refer to the mob as "starting to dance" when this happened. One comment in group, "dancing", meant the mob was slated for doom soon. I THINK this occurred in Kunark time frame but to be completely honest, my memory could be off on this.

They would definitely slow down but it would take a druid snare to make them stop dead once their stamina got low enough. Otherwise they would pace back and forth slowly until killed.

Certainly true. I do think that some actually stopped without a snare though, or came danged close. Probably those mobs with lower innate run speeds.

I know some stopped w/o snare when they were super low health. And with a snare, they would be stopped from the beginning of their flee, they'd just turn and stare off into the distance.
