You put me in this game. You give me slow abilities to help me kite better.

But what you don't tell me is that 5 seconds into every fight, monsters start moving faster than mounts.

At this point slowing traps and stuns don't really help do anything.

Why is this?

When mobs enrage, all of their animations are performed faster. The higher level you get, the % increase gets larger.

There are usually distinct animations that every type of mob will do (usually indicated by brief pauses), that indicate that they are enraged. You can also enable a little angry face to appear over your head when a mob that has aggro on you enrages.

And that makes them move so fast I can't outrun them on my Lion?

Yes.

Mobs in this game for the most part, are very determined to kill you.

I think your problem is that you're running away instead of killing them.

>.> Lancer's charge ability is a great way to run....

Many many many times, lancers are the sole survivor

You can generally get away from BAMs pretty easily, if for some reason you don't want to kill it. If you're running from rank-and-file mobs you must have done something wrong. But most of those let you get away, too.

Wouldn't you enrage if someone kept slowing you and hitting you such that you couldn't hit back? Which is utter cheese, since being able to kill things without them fighting back is utter cheese. Mobs should have SOME chance to hit you occasionally even if it takes an act of gross stupidity to die usually.

First thing that came to mind is them defenders in vale of spires that run at like 300 mph when enraged. I accidentally pulled one a bit too far and it sped off so fast I didn't even realize it until i looked back. :s
