I took think that they should be crippled if they are at 2% hp.

At this point isn't it safe to assume you're not supposed to catch them?

Same thing as what happened in legacy. You set up a big strike to instakill them before they run when you've whittled hp down.

Deaggro. Wait 5 seconds after it leaves sight range. Catch up with it, re-aggro with chop only school, put on highest runspeed and spam 1.

thats what i was doing here....it would chop it. it would run. i deaggro. wait. then walk up to it and it aggro onto me again....so i waited again...i finally just gave up after a few attempt of wacking him to chase him down.

but tbh, sure we have a way to spend a fucking about 2-3 min waiting for these fuckers to go off screen. but why do we wanna wait?
why does waiting to kill these fuckers have to be our strat.

waiting for em to go off screen just feels like a big exploit that boring to do.

+1, they need to move slower on low health or at least start bleeding to death.
W3 to W6 - Blockland. Special mentions: New Avalon, Tarn of Hotdog, Red October.
W7 - Elvenia, til we all got lazy.
W8 - Cult of R'lyeh, til the deeps called us back.
W9 - Tartarus, til death/wizards came for the land itself.
W10 - ???, ruined and forgotten.

Or, don't make them run with same speed on all biomes, srsly, how they flee over water and swamps?

I do disagree, don't nerf their running speed; But do make them easier to track. Disengage from combat - let them run and follow their trails, just like in real life.
That makes a lot more sense to me - like let them leave some form of "scent" or something like that. and make it easier to identify.
