I have noticed this, too. Especially, when the target has a strong debuff applied. I have seen longbow officers run like bystanders from Godzilla when Darkest Night is put on them.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
not just happening to MMs, I've noticed a big increase in mobs fleeing when on my Night Widow. It seems as though their AI has been changed to incorporate debuffs as well as dots to make them run off - and it also looks as if the distance they can run has increased as well. It wouldn't surprise me if they ran to a different zone, if it wasn't for them being in an instanced map

Foes which can't attack, or, are losing hp rapidly and their attacks aren't landing are 'demoralized' and they run. It's part of their AI. It's the bane of debuffers.

Go figure...
I hadn't played for a couple years, but MMs were my favorite AT. So far I've played 4 new ones since coming back, and when fighting with 3 of the 4 (2 demon and 1thug), enemies are constantly just running for the hills, regardless of their debuffs, or what secondary powers I'm using.
Is this normal?
It's quite annoying to have my pets run off and agro other enemies because of this.
