perhaps it is based on your level compared to the mob you are chaining. i
know if i am chaining frogs in lower guk, they do not stop at 50% health.
actually come to think of it as i am typing this, what mobs besides ones far
lower than your level will even think about running at 50%? they don't,
they stay and fight. so that is why if i am fearing and chaining, no matter
what it is it will stop moving at 50% health, because i am forcing them to
run away. on the other hand, mobs close to me in level (that i am not
fearing) i do not notice this. it's because they are not running until they
are around 5-10% health anyway, and as soon as i chain them they stop at
this point.
