Feared, running detection....

I apologize if I missed it in the documentation, but is there a way to detect whether or not a spawn is fleeing? (via fear, low hps etc)

I wrote some logic for Genbot a while back that handled this (I might re-add when I figure out how to keep it from messing up rouges) basically look at the spawns heading and movement- not facing you and moving might be a sign that it's running away.

How about a ${Me.State[UNKOWN]}

State: STAND SIT DUCK BIND FEIGN DEAD STUN UNKNOWN

I had a loop running over my last combats, and the MOB reports stand even when running away.

Also, a mob that does not exist, returns FEIGN.

Is that the correct value for invalid state?

Well, as far as feared you can run an #Event check "whatever the fear spell message is". Running away, in general, can be a simple test of distance. The logic might work something like this:

Pseudo Code wrote: * If I'm not moving and the MoB is not within X distance of Me
* Is the MoB within X distance of my group members (aggro switch)
* Move up to the MoB
* Is the MoB X distance away from the groups general location (probably running)
* Snare, Root, Chase, nuke, whatever
