Enemy HP and position resetting.

Turkeysammich

When sneaking and using a bow at range, 80% of the time the enemy goes back to it's starting position and it's health completely resets to full.

NPC only have a limited combat range.
If you pull them out of this range they reset.
It is one of the most annoying things about bow builds that makes them kind of useless.
You specced in bow to give you a range advantage and then....yep...you cant use your range advantage...awesome.

Option 1 - you have a gap maker skill instead...which can also knock you out of combat range...awesome
Option 2 - you have a stun....alas many bosses have been made stun immune ...awesome
Option 3 - use a close range light attack and try and stay out of melee range [lol] whilst staying in NPC combat range

I am always in range to use bow skills, so under 28 meters, seems to me like this should have been fixed long ago.

They have a lease limit, so you can't pull them too far. They'll reset on you if you position yourself some place they can't get to, like a cliff.

Im not moving behind anything or going down a cliff, there's nothing blocking their path, and im within skill range. Im also not backing away, just staying put.

Never seen this except when, as @Rune_Relic says you drag them beyond their 'leash' range at which time they'll return and reset .. ZOS don't want mobs being kited across the zone.

Might be a bug in how the distance is being calculated.

This ocassionally happens to me for months, but not only when I was using a bow, but also with a staff.
It's not necessarily about the enemies' combat range, this also happens when I use f.e. Shadow Cloak - when they don't see me anymore, combat is over and they go back to where they came from with their health fully restored.
Also pretty funny after using an ultimate and the enemy (f.e. a boss) just resets. Ultimate gone for nothing at all.
