Invulnerability Aggro Dump
How DA functions here:
You cast DA, and you drop to the lowest priority on the hatelist (1 point of aggro) When DA ends, you revert to your previous aggro amount How DA should function through PoPish: You cast DA, and drop to the lowest priority on agro. When DA ends or should you happen to remove it, you lose all agro (HOWEVER, low HP agro does kick in if when DA ends you still have agro... Which is a large reason why people didn't notice the agro drop since they often DA at low HP) This goes for all invulnerability effects.

Hmm, there were actually some patch notes, from somewhere in Velious (I think the same ones which changed the SK epic to be able to use bash with), which also mention changes to DA and aggro. I couldn't find them again with a quick search, but will update if I do.

I also searched for a patch note about it, but this is what I found.

It does not provide any assistance on the current issue of the aggro status after the invulnerability spell wears off. | |||

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. It has already been implemented on p99? Shouldn't it come later?
And sorry to derail OP, guess I have nothing to add to it. | ||

I believe they added that one out of era after people killing PoSky using lots of shiny brass idols. But it certainly functions like that.
However on topic, it should dump your aggro to 1 point (it won't make them forget you completely you just become a non-issue if others are attacking it once it ends unless, as stated above, you have low HP).

That particular change should come later, but I can understand why the devs would implement it before hand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c9s7pj4ors | |||

This thread from January 2003 on EQ Clerics has a pretty good discussion on DA mechanics spanning the time line. The last couple of pages get into a deep discussion on how hate lists are built, which may need to be addressed in a separate post. I've linked some of the quotes from it below near the bottom of this post.

I'm still reading through it, but DB had a damage shield apparently... I read that in some other post too.
