Skyfire: Chromodrac - Resolved
Chromodrac's dispel is totally out of wack. It is removing 2 buff slots, the mob casts it on you every cooldown. They are not casting the other spells they should have available nearly as often. Even when fear kiting them on test server, immediately upon fear breaking you are dispelled. I'm not sure if it was a proc or just a spell used by them far less often on live, but the dispel makes them so totally not worth killing here.

That's how I remember them. I hated killing those for that reason.

Be that as it may, it is not working the same as it did on live.
I spent 50-55 soloing skyfire on live, killed chromodracs in the rotation of mobs, they were more annoying than regular mobs for sure, but they didn't dispel with anywhere near the frequency they do here. Maybe it was the range of the ability or the priority that is the difference, but there is definitely something wrong with the p99 chromodracs. While looking for some form of proof for this, I came across: http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/se...03722118043957 Seems until 2002 these needed to be in melee range to dispel.

I used to fear kite them as a necro when Kunark came out. I can confirm that the dispel had a radius associated with it. I don't know if it was an AoE dispell or just a proc, but it went off a LOT (could lose a whole list of buffs in seconds).

Wayback also indicates dispel was a melee range thing:

I just Verified on Live that the Chromadics do dispell within mellee range AND cast dispell from a short distance...
Only thing posted that proves otherwise is a Allakazam post in 2002 (Trystych Link) """"""""""""These things have been changed! Posted: 2002-11-13 16:20:59 | Quote | Reply to Post | Follow The One and Only Alcohol Scholar * 73 posts Score: Good They no longer need to be in melee range to dispell or cast boil blood! I used to root-dot these suckers for easy exp. I just soloed one and he never got anywhere near me, but still got to dispell me quite a few times. I also tried casting Scoriae on them, and it was flat out resisted 3 out of 3 times. (I'm level 54 and these were dark blue. I know that they normally have good fire resistance, but damn...)""""""""""""""""" If you scroll down on your 1st link, you will also see the 2nd link you posted, Tagged as year 2000 stating they already dispelled out of a short range. """""""""""Posted: 2000-11-27 16:27:03 | Quote | Reply to Post | Follow Anonymous View Journal Anonymous Score: Decent These are easy to kill if you kite them and keep them at a good distance. They do not cast dispell until almost in melee range, and I never got hit with the Blood Boil unless they were already hitting me. Paralyzing Earth (49th wiz root) works really well, I can often use harvest and med for the last two nukes to finish one off, by the time they break they are usually hovering.. don't seem to flee for some reason. Zaerg - 50th DE Wiz - Drinal"""""""""""""" Its working as intended. | ||
