I am having a hard time locating this information. Vorpal mode is a mode that appears to be very similar to manual mode and I am confused a bit with the differences. Yes, I know it is NOT a tanking mode! Seen a bazillion comments from Sic about that but nothing about my questions below!

Questions:
1) Does Vorpal mode have the toon navigate to the main assist's target?
2) Do you need to manually turn on the Vorpaling toon's attack?
3) Does the Vorpaling toon automatically stick to the target if said target moves around or is pushed?
4) I know that Vorpal mode does not return to camp.

So in summary: Does Vorpal mode travel to the main assist's target, then stick to it, do its death dealing routine, and once the mob is dead it then stands waiting where mob died until the main assist chooses another target?

vorpal doesn't set a camp, so it doesn't return to a camp, it just reacts around itself in the range of campradius as if they did have a camp.
vorpal matches MA's sit/stand but since it doesn't have a camp, it doesn't return anywhere to sit down between fights.

1. yes
2. no it isn't manual, at all.
3. it you are using usestick, then yes, it uses stick.
4. that isn't a question
5. it is not a tanking mode.

summary question which didn't get a number: yep. it fights the mob and then waits there. if the ma sits, it'll sit, otherwise buttscratching till told otherwise.
 
What is Vorpal Mode?
It's dungeon crawler mode for when you want to put space between the group and the MA so that the MA gets all initial aggro, then the vorpal toon will run into the fray to help.
It's literally a spinoff from chase mode that doesn't do the chasing. Just the everything else that is in the chase mode. So the "campradius" is still around the MA to determine if they should attack a mob, sitting/standing is still based on if the MA is sitting or standing.
It was named because VorpalChicken wanted something like it, which is how it got it's name.
