I still think it is very wrong that returning can be overridden by anything else at all.
You may ask a hundred of players if they expect returning be different from retreat in the sense of scripting and I'm absolutely sure that more than 70% will say they should be treated in the same way.

83% of all people believe random statistics that they read.



Sorry, I had to. :p I would tend to agree, all Returning is, is magical Retreat.

Of course, it's only my estimation.
I created a poll to make it more realistic, btw :).

I am not disagreeing on whether he ought to retreat, I am just explaining why I think he is not retreating.

I understand that, of course, I just think that such behavior is not correct and not logical.
Also, the bug this thread was opened for still seems to have some other nature because I made the exactly the same tests and golem did cast returning.

a 9 hp mage.
a 77 pt seraph
a 77pt seraph
a 300 pt pretender.

No returns were cast.

I had this bug in DarkParadise with an Astral Monolith and Horrors. Basically, even a Horror is not enough to prevent a script override.

And that is the worst in this bug: it is unstable and unexpectable
