I can’t be the only one experiencing this, can I? I have tried to find it on the forums or a way to report it but no luck. I couldn’t even do a “ticket” on it. Ever since Shadowlands came out NPCs get about 1/4 to 1/2 way through a fight and then evade and come back full strength, which means I am at a huge disadvantage and have to start the fight all over even though I may be at 1/2 strength or less. It is almost impossible for me to finish a quest without dying. Can this please be fixed- pretty unfair and making the whole experience in the new release really miserable. BTW- this is happening on my max level Demon Hunter

I’ve been experiencing this a decent bit as well, this is what I’ve been seeing:
- I’ll start to attack a mob and get 1-2 hits in
- Then as soon as the mob starts to move toward me, they’ll suddenly stop and then start “evading”
- This frequently affects any mobs that I attack from range -across- any form or variant of terrain that has height differences
- I’ll stay in combat as long as the mob continues evading, and if there’s ANY nearby mobs they’ll inevitably aggro on me even if only the original mob I attacked would aggro (like normal)
- The only way to get out of combat and fix the issue is to almost literally stand on top of the original mob and burn it down
Based on the above experiences, I’m slowly but surely learning to only attack mobs when there’s a clear movement path between us so as to avoid the evading mechanic (oh the irony, lol). I’ve filed a bug report, but haven’t heard a peep in response.
Thank you for posting this, though! Glad to know that I’m not crazy. 
The real fun one is the flying mobs in Bastion. I shoot and they don’t go towards me or my pet. They fly down the cliff and sit there.
Nice to know I’m not crazy too- I also have not heard a peep. Mine seems to happen on any terrain, anywhere, about 1/2 the time. I am having a horrible time completing anything. Also, my drop rate for loot is super low and my dps has dipped to levels that are really horrible. All in all, I am totally having a miserable experience. Can’t fight, cant gear up- rares not dropping. :(.

experienced this one but not seen the evade bug except for a mob stuck in a rock
Hopefully this bumps the thread. This is still a problem in Shadowlands. I do not know if it has something to do with me being level 70 and all, but I’m going back through the covenants and it’s a solid 75% of mobs I attack that seem to evade the second shot and reset themselves

Working as intended, Blizz just shipped a Morrowind-style combat patch.
