'Avoid Death' doesn't work for melee classes

[jubisman]

I'm talking about this bit of code here

                // Avoid Death
                if (Settings.Combat.Misc.AvoidDeath &&
                    Player.CurrentHealthPct <= PlayerEmergencyHealthPotionLimit && // health is lower than potion limit
                    !SNOPowerUseTimer(SNOPower.DrinkHealthPotion) && // we can't use a potion anymore
                    TargetUtil.AnyMobsInRange(90f, false))
                {
                    Logger.LogNormal("Attempting to avoid death!");
                    NeedToKite = true;

                    kiteMonsterList = (from m in ObjectCache
                                       where m.IsUnit
                                       select m).ToList();
                }

Ranged classes can run a little and then turn around and attack, but not the melee ones. As a result if you check this option with, say, a monk or a barb, it's just going to run a little, then go back to hitting the enemies and die.

So I'm asking if there's any way we can avoid that in order to improve survavability.

I would do this myself, but I have no idea how.
