Call of the Hero only clears aggro if you are far from the mobs you have aggro on.
Call of the Hero cannot be cast in self.

oh god

but that Egress change cant wait so tired of self succoring ( even tho it is gratifying )

The first SG revamp/nerf that address difficulty was in one of the first patches, here:

We still have the initial Velious version.

Velious wide item upgrades June 2001 (Most already in or in their Oct. 2001 versions).

Added "Lesser" Translocate spells: Cazic-Thule, West Commons, Nektulos, North Ro
Added "Small Portal Fragments".

The Great Divide portal spells are now 39th level instead of 44th level. (Should be fixed in dynamic spell file)

DA Aggro changes:
We've made an adjustment to the way that NPCs choose their targets. It's a rather simple change, one that makes a lot of sense. But we want you to be aware of it so that it won't surprise you too much, and so that you won't think that it is a bug. NPCs are now much more aware of the vulnerability (or, more precisely, the invulnerability) of their targets. NPCs will now be very unlikely to waste their time attacking a target that they can't harm.


We've addressed a lot of spelling and grammatical errors over the past few weeks. For example we have corrected all misspellings of "deity" in messages to the player, changed Cantana to Cantata and others.
The 'Fab Four' in Dagnor's Cauldron will no longer assist Undertow Skeletons.
Instill Doubt/Intimidation can no longer be used while sitting, and sitting after starting it will cancel it.
Mastery of language skills now occurs at 100, not at 101. This was a problem for masters of a language, since language skills could not go over 100.
The messages for eating and drinking now say "Chomp... Chomp," or "Glug... Glug..." so that they can't be copied with emotes.
Helms on Barbarians, Trolls, and Ogres should no longer block the first person view when in combat.

Hmm, will summon companion work on charmed pets? Looks like a pretty sweet patch for everyone except magicians. There will be a lot of trains until people figure out how far is far.

I don't see why people complain about Siren's Grotto though; nothing there has enhanced MR. Although that icy servant proc is ridiculous.

Summon companion is only summoned pets. No charmed pets.


I think the range is either like 100' or 200'. Something like that. If you can cast on the mob it's unlikely that will clear aggro for you.

Devs going to put duck casting on red server? Nothing like a charm breaking on a long casting buff.

They should, yep!

casters about to become more OP on red.

hey Daldaen, do you know the dates for Gareth, Red epic offhand, and 2H bonuses? I think they are all fairly late.
