Drakkel Dire Wolves in Kael

1. Should be hitting for 250ish, not the normal 150ish.

2. Should have "normal" MR for their level instead of the increased Giant MR.

3. MAYBE should dual wield. Those posts are all from 2003 though.

Pending update,

-Increased max hit of wolves
-Decreased MR of wolves

Will need testing after next patch.

ENCHANTERS AND DRUIDS REJOICE (and classic lovers).

Thanks Nilbog!

Wait I may have a reason to play my druid in Kael over my cleric?!?!

But alas, the level range on those wolves is so high that only the lowest limit is charm able.

They're still extremely resistant.

Resisted about 25 calms, 50% success rate on Entrance and level 4 mez, 100% resists on stuns and AE mez.

Will do further testing when I'm not by myself and can find someone to solo pull one since they're seemingly uncalmable.

Has this been updated yet? These are way more resistant than giants from my experiences so far.

Extremely, extremely MR. I landed 3 roots, none lasted over 15 seconds. Have they been changed to unmezzable/uncharmable as well?

Something's not right with these mobs, still.

Tried charming and snaring these a few days ago. Anecdotal evidence at best but after Glamour was on had all resists on snare and charm. Something is amiss here.
