The Hidden Forest

Scarelings have been consistently zooming/warping back to their spawn point when near death (< 5% health). They've been doing this for months and I've been too forgetful to post it. A good dot or determined pet will usually finish them off, otherwise they eventually make their way back to me (with friends, of course). If they get a nice big hit that kills them before they get low, they die right where they are. Was that intended or some buggy behavior? It certainly makes for a 'fun' scavenger hunt for the corpse when I'm essence hunting! =)

This is how they have been for a very long time, I believe that is part of what they are suppost to do, just like the frogs do their thing to. You should have a healthy amount of fear when doing fear right?

Working as Intended (tm)

Scarelings on live did the same thing, they shadow stepped all over the place

I thought they shadow stepped their targets on live. not themselves.

i think they do, iirc the behavior is they will force their target to shadow step(which can cause you to agro other nearby mobs), and then when close to death (10% hp or less i think) they will gate back to their original spawn location and come back at you with a vengeance and usually friends.

BTW, i personally think they should stay this way. As someone else said, it adds another level of "fear" to plane of fear. There are several ways you can counter this as well.

They clearly must stay the way they are. It's one of the most annoying mob all over the world, with turmoil toads and their fear. It would be a big loss to change them. It makes the zone fun / hard.

I am sure we will keep them this way. They are the hallmark of Fear :p
