And that could be but is that because his dodge parry riposte is off with less stats? or because his Ac is lower

I conducted those parses with the character facing away to eliminate the chance of dodge/parry/riposte, so that's not even a factor.

Before you guys try to implement this find proof that you could do this in dungeons.

they never changed melee z axis range in kunark, or early velius

You will never find any proof of this

Casters floated above everyones heads , the only difference was that people couldnt change their frame rates to levitate and not sink quickly.


People like HPT, dont sink at all because of video settings/frame rate, few other factors.

LOS casting changed with many patches during classic and velious so people can actually recall classic casting rules that differ based.

I remember spells requireing no LoS start or end, I remember spells only requring start LoS and also briefly spells requring start and end.

Also Dispell was considered beneficial spell for a very long time and could dispell through walls. Also remember dispelling people with mobs and getting aggro from the beneficial aspect of dispell

Also some zones were very buggy and walls didnt act like walls. High keep was notorious for this

Your absolutely correct, the only thing I don't remember in classic...is spells requiring beginning and end LOS like they do here.

yep, played mage on live and i survived because of levitate, no melees were chasing me from down below as far as i was concerned then again good luck doing it with classic hitbox and no target ring :P

I'm 100% on being able to nuke people on ledges above me in Velks without getting boned by LoS for the entirety of Velious

While I do recall being nuked all over Velk, I have a memory of needing initial LoS when nuking people in ToV in HoT but I was like 14 and my mind was prepubescent
