3. Shaman NPCs always sowed their allies. The reason you don't remember it happening in SolA is because sow is an outdoor spell, and SolA is an indoor dungeon...

Was just in chardok yesterday and the sarnaks there sow each other and I think thats considered an indoor dungeon. Don't think I could use my J-boots there

Its the stupid direction changes that drive me crazy. I don't ever remember them going that crazy years ago.

This comment has merit - they do seem to juke a lot more frequently than I recall them ever juking on live, at any stage in the development of EQ.

I also think the initial flee speed is slightly high.

I also think the mob hit box from behind is just a little bit too small.

To sum up my opinion (and I know, no dev asked me for it [You must be logged in to view images.

As it stands, it just feels a little bit wrong and is at least mildly annoying.

The Mob hit Box may be not as small as we think. I think a lot has to do with their faster run speed and erratic pathing when running like hell. Just a thought.
