Haynar: Mob runspeed revamp to be more accurate to classic. Speeds will also vary with changing HP more like classic was.

This seems to cause an issue while quadding in TD, if mobs get lower health than others their speed change makes the group begin to break up. Don't remember this being an issue on live, but I could be wrong.

If that's the case, not classic. I quadded a lot on live back then, and mobs always ran the same base speed if they were after a player, regardless of health.

Confirmed, I saw that quadding raptors, at low health the run-speed changed which broke apart the quad. This is definitely not classic as I experienced it. Same behavior happened in DL with drolvargs.

The way i remember from live, is if you had say 4 arctic wyverns snared being kited, and one falls low enough to trigger the RS change, it should be at the value where it stops completely.

This sounds correct. I used to quad a lot of spirocs, hill giants, spectres, snow cougars, and wyverns and never remember having to deal with slowing mobs when they were low. That would cost a lot of extra mana to finish them off. These Spirocs are all still lined up despite being low on health:

I had to pick them off when they got SUPER low health sometimes. For sure.

But I'm talking LOWWW hp.

I have noticed this as well. Being a wizard I have been quadding raptors and seafurries and the change in run speed causes the group to break up making the mobs no longer close enough together to finish off with the last AOE. By the time you get to that point in a quad you don't usually have the mana to finish them off with individual nukes. Seeing how wizards have a terrible time getting groups and now quadding is near impossible this leaves wizards at a HUGE disadvantage. What is the point of all the quadding spells if you can no longer quad?

charmed pets pathing seems wrong when i hit guard in kc atm...mob going back to spawn instead of staying where i hit guard.

Tried to Quad Spirocs in TD was a major fail...couple mobs resisted and all 4 broke up at diff speeds. I would agree that kiteing is almost impossible atm.
