Back on Classic Everquest a magician could /pet attack (Insert player or NPC's name here) to see if not only a mob or a person was in range but to get their target by assisting the pet. I have found were in the patch notes this got fixed. Not until 2002.
May 8, 2002 3:00 am
------------------------------
** Items **
- We've made some changes that will cause a few proccing items to be
out of charges after the patch. Players with such items will need to
petition and ask a GM to swap the item out with a new one
- Focus items using the "Naki's Pernicity" effects should now be
working as intended
- Focus items that affect a spell's duration should now work for
clickable items
- It should be impossible to equip an item that will reduce your hit
points by more than your maximum hit points. Also, hit point reduction
items should not lower hit points below 1
- Tinkered Compass now adds the appropriate bonus to the sense heading
skill
- Hit point bonuses on food items should be working
** Spells **
- Higher level familiars should once again survive when their masters
go invisible, Abscond or Evac
- Fixed a bug that was preventing the Lesser Familiar mana regeneration
component from working
- Familiars no longer cause damage to their master upon death
- Familiar buff remains after the caster uses the /pet get lost command
to remove the visual representation
- Torrent of Fatigue should be working properly now
- Allure of the Wild has had its level cap raised to make it a useful
upgrade
- Umbra has been improved to give a slightly higher AC benefit
- A character can no longer trade with an NPC when invisible. Character
must turn visible before starting the trade
- Characters can no longer scribe a scroll that they can't cast due to
deity restrictions
- Invisibility should now remain after a link death
- Theft of Thought will no longer give mana when cast on PC classes
that do not have mana (in PvP or in a duel)
- Drain/Share spells can no longer be cast on players on blue servers,
and can no longer be cast on group members on PvP servers. Spells
Affected: Succession of Shadows, Crippling Claudication, Mind Wrack,
Degeneration, Zevfeer's Theft of Vitae, Torrent of Hate, Torrent of
Fatigue, Torrent of Pain
- Spirit Armor scroll no longer lists Shadowknights as a class that can
use it (they couldn't anyway)
- Bard AE songs now have vertical limit of 50 feet. This is also the
case for Mass Group Buff
- Gating and porting while in tree form should no longer cause crashes
- Removed all "Begins to cast X spell" text from procs
- Resurrection request box will now reset if you open another window
while it is up, preventing a problem where a character is unable to be
resurrected if he has the res box up and he loots a mob or opens a
trade window
- Fixed a bug with lifetaps that would cause people around a lifetap to
see, "You feel drained..." instead of "Fippy feels drained..."
- Issues with Healing seeming to be delayed have been fixed (see Spell
Filters)
- Fixed a bug that was causing "soandso's song ends" to show up as
"he's song ends" if the bard was targeted, "it's song ends" if not
targeted
- Divine Glory received a small upgrade to make it more in line with
the spell series
** Spell Filters **
- Issues with healing seeming to be delayed should be fixed. The
problem was with filters that allowed players to ignore spells that
were hitting them. The following changes were needed to fix this issue
- Player characters will now always see spells that hit them and spells
they cast
- Players with the Group option set for PC spells will see the start
spell casting messages for people in their group and they will also see
when member of their group are hit with spells
- Players with the ALL option will still see all PC spells and spell
hits
** Spell Stacking **
General stacking changes: Some buffs were not being allowed to stack
which now will stack, and other buffs were being allowed to stack which
should not have.
For example, many stacking problems with spells that have a See
Invisible or Levitate component are now gone (e.g. Dead Man Floating),
while a number of stacking exploits that granted too much regeneration,
too much offense (ATK), too large of a damage shield, or too many hit
points have been fixed. Here are some of the details:
- Vision abilities (natural or spell-granted) should no longer cause
spells to fail to take hold
- Bard songs should in general overwrite fewer spells
- Harness of Spirit no longer stacks with spells that grant Strength or
Dexterity boosts. It was never intended to do so
- Harness of Spirit and Avatar should now stack properly
- Call of the Predator and Warder's Protection should no longer stack
- Arch Lich should no longer overwrite innate racial vision abilities
- Levitate and Dead Man Floating should no longer conflict
- Dead Man Floating should no longer conflict with any vision abilities
(natural or spell granted)
- Spirit of Eagle should no longer cancel Levitation/Levitate spells
- Fixed a stacking exploit with Armor of Protection and Armor of the
Risen
- Focus of Spirit should no longer overwrite Visions of Grandeur
- Focus of Spirit should now stack with the Whistling Fists effect
- "Circle of" Druid spells should no longer stack with their Resist
counterparts.
- Shroud of Spirits and the Cloak of the Akheva should stack properly
now
- Cantata of Soothing should no longer overwrite Clarity spells
- Cantata and Chorus of Replenishment should no longer overwrite Acumen
- Bladecoat no longer overwrites Clarity II
- Lower level druid group buffs should now be less likely to overwrite
higher level buffs
- Avatar and Force of Nature will no longer stack
- Ancient Feral Avatar should now stack properly
** Alternate Advancement **
- Improved Familiar should now be better than Greater Familiar
- Fixed a bug with Permanent Illusion that was causing the caster to
see his illusions drop when zoning, even if others continued to see the
illusion
- Trolls and Iksar no longer receive double regeneration ability from
AA abilities
- The Archetype skill Casting Deftness will no longer supercede the
Class specific Quick Buff casting time reducing skill. Note that at
this time there is a maximum benefit to casting time bonuses of a 50%
reduction
- Casting deftness was changed to reflect the increases presented by
the in-game help (5, 15 and 25%)
- Turn Summoned should now work on all summoned creatures, not just
pets. The text should correctly say that there is only one level for
this ability
- Improved Reclaim Energy now works with the epic pet
- Fixed a crash bug caused by Call Corpse
- Alternate Advancement abilities that affect a spell's duration should
now work for clickable items
- Quick Summon should now work for Call of the Hero and Manifest
Elements
- Quick Summon also changed to match the benefits presented by the in-
game help
** Skills **
- Increased the velocity tolerance for the Hide skill. This may
slightly improve the functionality of the Evade skill
- Poison should no longer be interrupted
- Sneak only breaks when a character is hit, not when he hits someone
- Fixed a bug that was causing a problem when Pick Pockets was used
before Beg had refreshed. Beg and Pick Pocket use the same timer, so
now using Beg or Pick Pocket will cause both buttons to gray out
- A message is now displayed and skills are properly reset when a rogue
breaks sneak and/or hide because he is looting a corpse
- Beastlords should function like other hybrids when casting in melee
** Zones **
- The Hole now uses Kunark-level Mez/Charm/Taunt rules
- Petrified humerus should now be available
- Zones where mounts cannot be summoned will now remove mounts when
they enter the zone
- High level NPCs can now be taunted in Cazic Thule
- Random frame lag in Guktop and Oasis should be fixed
- Fixed a pathing problem in Tenebrous Mountains
- Fixed a pathing bug in Paludal Caverns
- Fixed pathing exploits in Chardok
- Fixed a pathing exploit in Cazic Thule
- Fixed a pathing exploit in Acrylia
- Fixed a pathing bug in the Tower of Frozen Shadow
- Fixed a pathing bug in Fungus Grove
- Fixed a spot where characters could get stuck in Twilight Sea
- Moved the Permafrost 'safe point' closer to the zone line
- Addressed an issue with an aggressive NPC that appeared outside of
the Arx Building in Sanctus Seru
-Modified the Vyzh`dra the Cursed spawn trigger to make the various
incarnations more accessible
-Modified several NPCs in the temple of Ssraeshza to address the
disparity between melee and caster effectiveness in the zone
** Quests **
- Adjustments have been made to the 8th Coldain Prayer Shawl quest
- High Priestess Alexandriana should be working properly now
** Tradeskills **
- Added over 1,000 new tradeskill recipes for all levels of skill,
along with many recipe books. A few of the vendors of Norrath might be
able to get you started on your way
- Added Mortar and Pestle to a Thurgadin merchant
- Rubbing Alcohol is now available from a vendor in Thurgadin
** Guilds **
- Fixed many bugs with the guild system, for example: GMs can now
rename guilds without the need to destroy and recreate them, guilds can
have names that share the first 15 characters with another guild (they
couldn't before) and people should no longer experience random guild
kickouts when a guild on their server is deleted/reformed.
** Pets **
- A character may now have a horse, a pet and an Eye of Zomm at the
same time
- /pet attack range has been limited to prevent its use as a targeting
tool. Asking pets to attack targets outside the range will generate a
"not a legal target" message
- Pets will once again tell you who they are attacking by sending its
master a /tell
- Pet attack animations should now be working for all pets
This was a form of classic Magician PVP and I intend to get the magicians back on balance to how they were back when I played them on Rallos Zek.
