blind rage replaces panic

I don't know why some people are having the exact opposite experience, but as of version 3.1.2 I've experienced this for at least a year that blind rage seems to always override panic, unless the enemy reaches low health and still hasn't detected you. It's most obvious with Kranach who used to experience a (guarranteed?) panic, and now always rages. I suggest if you don't believe me that you start in exploration mode, wish an orc, hit it to low health and wait for the state to change. I bet you won't see a single panic.

Wished-for orc at the start of the game has something like 3 HP. What are you hitting it with? I ended up having to use an iron ration, and didn't get any rage or panic.

I didn't experiment with exploration mode, but in regular and challenge games I indeed never see monsters panicking while blind rage occurs from time to time.

Not sure about 3hp orcs, but the issue is real, yes. The worst I saw was quite some time ago in hard monster/low treasure challenge games. (Extra hp maybe had some effect, although i do recall amount of time monster being hit/time on partial health being more important than amount/percentage of hp).

The only monsters I saw panicking were ancient dragons... so... IQ influence maybe?

In my current playthrough my first witnessed panic was the Banshee. Then some denizens at the top of ToEF including the wyrm. I don't see why a sense of self-preservation/cowardice should be the sole province of mid-to-late game enemies...

I dived to the antediluvian dungeon and encountered an earth elemental. After a few hits it panicked. 3.1.0.

Second monster I saw panic in my pt was an elemental. Let me know if you see any early game monsters do it.

Interestingly I summoned monsters via a statue and used a wand of fireballs on them and two of them panicked.
