Miscellaneous: Mistmoore Casters

SamwiseRed · #1 02-10-2014, 01:02 PM

I was messing around on live today and decided to goto MM. Not sure if its a live or thing or what but with 72 mr I am getting chain rooted by the casters here. On red/blue i dont ever recall getting rooted by the casters. Maybe I was just lucky. I am going to see if there were changes to the casters here with the wayback time machine, I know MR has been reworked, but its a very noticeable difference. Also roots are lasting for entire duration instead of only 20 seconds or so.

Just thought it was odd.

tl:dr caster mobs in MM root like a son of a bitch on live but not here.

I've gotten charmed by the negotiator. At 60. Fucking lols. Also on a higher end note--I don't give a fuck what level phara dar is, I was getting hit by that AOE with about 450 MR. Unacceptable.

I never resisted it on live on my cleric. Every PD fight I was a statue till I died, most of the time with 80% or more mana. Even wearing velious MR gear I got ripped. Was a running gag by the time we stopped doing it. 'Hey Aeol, stand over there and distract those pigeons.' 'What is your MR? 4?' 'You buff everyone, you won't use your mana on this fight anyway!'

sigh, hate pdiddy.

I'm going to echo this. PD right now is fully resisted across the board on raids I've attended. It is sad [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Velious firm memory: I had 180 magic on a Zlandicar raid and got STOMPED by his "ear drum burst" + disease aoe on a few occasions when the tick+burst hit me at same time.

Resist cap being 255 here is a GREAT start. Raid boss aoe's weren't perma resist every time. Even at 200 value, I would at least get partials/hit. Having 400+ here is... what.

Just my 2cp.

Don't remember caster npcs casting straight root/snare line spells during live-classic era. Ghoul root proc though? Sure, obviously. I would definitely not add root/immobilize/fetter/enstill/paralzying earth to mobs without definite proof.

Im sorry but this is just wrong.. I have been hit with PD's aoe at 250 MR so the fact that you miraculously resist it everytime is funny.

Why is that funny? It never hits me.

If a GM wants to load up a char with 250 magic and spam the effect with the spell id 300 times and paste me the results, I'll attribute it to luck.

Red pals confirm as well on PD aoe:

Nirgon Yeah
hey
maybe its different on red but
if i got ~250 magic on PD... i NEVER get hit by the aoe from him (her?)
im sure you guys had 400 MR (lawl) every fight but.. can you ever recall a time that aoe from PD hit you?

so are can the casters in MM even cast root? i dont know how mobs work but how do they decide to root over nuke or is it just random.

I'm not sure I've ever been rooted by an NPC (except by ghouls) on p99. Same with snare.

I'm not sure if that's good luck or as a result of a bug but interesting nonetheless.

The npcs in mistmoore that can cast root-type spells are necromancers or wizards.

As a general note, are npcs on p99 casting root? It's on their list, but perhaps they are not using it at a high enough priority, or something is wrong with it.

Can I get additional commentary from others about npcs rooting (or snaring) from casted spells? This leads me to believe there is something wrong with casted root, since ghoulroot is a proc and works fine.
