AoE Spells

There's a thread in the bug forum about rain spell mechanics that anyone interested should take a look at. It's a few weeks old so you'll need to search for it, but it's got a nice link for reference with some very specific info. For the record, according to that report, rain spells are OP in P99 compared to classic.

Rains could hit a max of 4 targets TOTAL. It had 3 waves to hit those 4 targets. If the 4 target limit had been reached and there were still extra mobs in range during a wave it would not be damaged. A new wave (up to the 3rd, would commence if the target limit had not been reached)

Yeah rain damage was "bugged" for like 10 expansions before they actually went back and looked at it, yet P99 has the fixed version.

PBAE = unlimited
Targeted AEs = 4 mobs
Targeted Rain AEs = Max of 4 hits (any combination of 1-4 mobs over 3 waves)
Al'Kabor Targeted AEs = 5 mobs

Only five mobs for that much mana? What a shitty line.

That's why he was known as Al'Crappor

Holy shit, you can rain 3 waves of up to 4 targets each here? That's uhh pretty outta control (in terms of mana/damage efficiency etc etc) in my opinion.

A bit hard to utilize but..

Yes it's not easy to use, unless you have a high level enchanter stun locking the mobs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As for AE Mez, I'm pretty sure that it was unlimited, at least during Kunark (didn't play enchanter in classic). It was targeted and you could mez yourself, and single mez would not stick over AE Mez so it was very situational (and it lasted only 24s I think?). Still, I sometimes had mez + ae mez + 2 ae stuns + root + slow loaded in XP groups, talk about massive crowd control.

Same goes for most of the non damaging AE spells, druid blind(god i loved that one during arena events, you could hit an entire event with it.)

Sunbeam is only hitting 5 targets on this server. I tested it last night.
