Aaryonar
Think this was reported months ago but it might have just been to Alunova at the time.
Anyways, Aaryonar is still gating. This mob wouldn't attempt to gate on live. It's also not using the "fake" AE.

Another observation which appears to be odd:
1) Let Cloud of Disempowerment over-write C2 (in my case I left it in my 2nd buff slot). 2) Gate/zone (not via death - in my case click thurg stick) C2 was back in my second slot and the Cloud of Disempowerment debuff was in the next available buff slot much further down the list. Client bug? or?

In my example the AE that hit me was indeed because I was in his line of sight.
Sitting behind the wall I was not affected or saw a the "fake" AE debuff/message.

The fake portion of the spell would most likely have to be specifically coded. The spell system just doesn't work this way. I could try adding multiple spell components but I do not believe I could separate the LoS components without somehow tying 2 individual spells together. Some cases like this are just not worth the effort or dedicated development time right now, for very little overall game impact, but may become feasible later.

Aaryonar wasn't particularly resistant to slow on live. It's hard to remember exact resist rates back from live, but if I had to guess Aaryonar had maybe a 60% resist rate on live and maybe a 45% resist rate here.
However, that's still worthless information for a comparison. What MR debuffs was she usually getting hit with when I raided her back in classic? Who knows. We used Malo/Tash/OOS on beta, maybe we weren't OOSing her back on live. Maybe we were. If anything maybe Aaryonar's MR should be adjusted ever so slightly upwards. Or maybe it's dead on accurate. At the very least, it's close to what I remember from live. It's really hard to speculate how accurate the resists are without pumping out a bunch of data with identical variables on both live and p99 beta. But yeah, that gate needs to be removed. Same with Eashen and any other NToV dragon that may still be able to gate that we haven't gotten to yet. I raided NToV a lot and never remember a single instance of a mob gating, nor was it ever even discussed as a possibility.

Did some research on Vyemm and Aaryonar a while back. It seems like it was a client bug on both of them and you could counteract the AE effects when out of LoS by filtering spell effects or using a clickie to force client/server update.
