Song of Highsun

[Dullah]

This song is broken and is supposed to have a magic based resist check. It presently functions like a dispel and is unresistable in pvp as well as pve. Another one of those spells/songs that should be really easy to resist.

[Rettii]

ya not sure if null srs with this one

[Topdog]

Bump, really needs to be fixed.

[hagard]

this spell needs to be fixed asap

[Kringe]

This spell makes a caster useless, I approve please address highsun from being unresistable whatsoever

[SamwiseRed]

haters gonna hate, bards gonna bard

shits classic

[Twain]

Highsun is working as intended. Atleast it doesn't port you directly to spawn. Still have a minute or 2 before you respawn =)

[Bamzal Sherbet]

if u fix this u should fix all resists

[Twain]

if u fix this u should fix all resists

Agreed. The resist system is broken. Fix resist system, fix highsun, increase pop.

[Nirgon]

As I've said before, appreciate what Null DID manage to do in classic. He just needs to reverse the 5% chance to land regardless with a 5% chance to resist regardless. That'd be a HUGE start for a (probably) 1 line code change.

He didn't touch the Kunark spells. This is what happens!

PS: Welcome back to King of Racists / Commander of Great Modem Tactics, may your days here redeem what you weren't on Rallos Zek in some way... shape, or form.

[Reddi]

[Feniggles]

Just seen what this spell could do. unresistable completly locks casters up. pvp game breaking

[Reddi who?]

bahhahahahaha

[Nizzarr]

bump

[nilbog]

Being investigated.

[nilbog]

unresistable in .. pve.

Is this correct?

[Nirgon]

Nilbog if it would please the court, this spell had different functionality in PvP vs PvE.

I think it was unresistable in PvE and sent mobs to their bind.

However, it is documented as having a brief stun and applying a very small shadow step to the player in PvP.

Its data (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spellraw.html?id=1755&source=Live) suggests that it is indeed resistable in PvP:

pvpresistcalc 135
pvpresistbase -62
pvpresistcap -78

Being a stun, it should make an all or nothing type of roll when making a check.

Right now it is counting the dispel as the primary component and making it unresistable, I believe.

Iv had a casted dispell like annul or something resisted by a sebilis mob. Cant speak for highsunning let alone highsunning a difficult mob thats a caster lol that would make it really trivial.

Only time I used this on live was to find the ph in Skyfire for bard epic.

I dont get it

[Colgate]

oh god why did you remind me of this

played a bard for 4-5 years on live, spent a good week or so in skyfire doing this

highsun gates the mob to its spawn point, so basically what bards would do is highsun random mobs in the zone until you found the one that spawned at eldrig the old's spawn location

think some guy ended up being nice and MQing it for me

it should pretty much never land in pvp though because of the stun component, and it lands 100% of the time here, which is utterly retarded for anyone playing a caster

[Nirgon]

So if you can dispel anyone regardless of range, can you do the same with high sun?

[Colgate]

not sure, but probably

also reiterating since i didn't in my previous post that highsun is in fact supposed to be unresistable in PvE

[Technique]

Another issue with Highsun, though secondary to the problem of it being unresistable, is that it stuns for 1 second instead of 0.001s.

Many spells that have a stun component (e.g., enchanter nukes) historically all had stun durations of 1ms until late 2004:

2004-12-15 10:29 Changed Slot 3 from "Stun(0.00 sec)" to "Stun(1.00 sec)" (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spellhistory.html?id=1755&source=Live)

The Velious spdat for Highsun shows its stun attribute as having a value of 1ms. The p99 spell file also shows the same. But on p99, any spell with a stun value <1000ms (this includes mez) stuns for a full second regardless. Is this intentional?

[Colgate]

yeah i always thought it was supposed to be an instantaneous duration ministun, not a 1 second stun that i was getting hit by
