Mob attack patterns to improve combat

I think it would be cool if more mobs had attack patterns, rather than just attacking.

Skeletons, evokers and blazes are both great with this, since they do ranged attacks after a certain amount of time, and both can be dodged if a player knows how to properly avoid them. Zombies, well yeah they only just attack, but then again, they're zombies. Endermen however, seem like they could benefit from an attack pattern. Maybe they do 2 hits then teleport? Maybe something else.

These are just some ideas.

Surprisingly enough, all mobs (grounded at least) indeed have attack patterns; it all comes down to timing. If you wanna try it for yourself, just use your shield in from of a zombie and observe how long he takes between each hit. It's the same amount of time for each attack. This can be applied to most, if not, all mobs, both adult and baby, when appliable, in the game besides the creeper.
