Leveling my cleric killing spiders in upper guk + the recent spore king thread prompted me to post this.

So should any line of sight block, not just water, work the same way? Sure feels weird to have a mob that wants to flee at low HP not flee because it has buddies nearby but on the other side of a rock wall, or standing nearby but up/down a floor, etc.

The range for nearby allies was reduced. Dont know if that was patched yet.

It seems that mob should not run only if his friends are near enough to aggro.
