Blinded mobs attack the player with highest aggro within melee range. They will also follow their target. They only run around if initially blinded outside melee range of a player. If you want to 'park' a mob and move to something else then that is an ideal use of root (cc) ^^

The problem isn't with FoL's design, but rather how unpredictable and buggy it can be.

For me the most notable case was when tanking a horse on sky island 4 with probably 25-30 people beating on it, it flew away blinded, even with everyone chasing and hitting it, it didn't stop until killed. Now I only use it on mobs that are immune to the effect or after a snare has landed.

Probably do to a higher than average hitbox. I remember encountering the same thing back at the giant fort in FM. Just needed to stand on top of them to avoid issues. Those situations of course make it a less reliable tool and make root more attractive. You just have to learn to recognize them ^^ Or, root everything instead at 500% (or 267% if using the lower spell) the mana expenditure. Now if roots are holding through an entire encounter (i.e. no nukes, low MR, etc.) then maybe it is not such a big deal if you don't ever need to reposition the target ^^
