Fix for targeted AEs not being able to kill targets.

Pretty sure what this means is it'll be pulled over next patch or update or whatever (test-src).

Probably right, at least I hope that's what was meant as it's still bugged..

Quite a shock when one doesn't expect it and kiting a quad lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah, it's been kind of a pain. Instead of relatively easy kills, I have to single-target nuke each mob to finish (and they can vary in % of remaining hp, so to make sure i have enough mana i have to use lower level nukes and sometimes snare-med to finish off specs), it becomes a bit more annoying.

That's probably been your experience too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I can still quad though, which is what counts =P

[Knightmare]

Exactly my experience.

I'm just barely able to manage a quad at my lvl though so maybe when I ding I'll have the mana for that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

my mage cant kill 6 mobs at once anymore... this is bullshit! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

any progress on this, though, would be truly appreciated. it does get a little bit enraging sometimes. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's been a long time since I've played.. but I did play a mage. I remember having to pair my rains with dd shocks. Did some reading today..

- AE Rain Spells were resisted 100% of the time when an NPC was above
level 20 and had less than 10% of its hit points left. This will no
longer happen.

Currently, how is working? Is level 20 relevant?

[SUSUGAM]

I'll test it to those parameters a bit, but at the moment I'm fairly sure that the 10% thing doesn't matter. Nor the level 20 issue. But rather, if the damage were to kill the mob, it is instead 100% resisted.

I just know for sure that Rain of Swords can NOT kill a mob at the moment, period.

a sand scarab in EC, 100% resist, all waves. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

kobolds in solb around 70% hp, first wave hits, all subsequent waves 100% resisted or don't show message at all


also: by your last post nilbog, are you inferring that this is a purposeful change? that aoe spells aren't meant to be able to finish off mobs?

That's... fucking amazing! I never knew this existed because I never played a class that relied on using AE spells. This is very interesting..

I was noticing this last night in both Misty and SK. I was trying to AoE them down as much as I could and then finish off with a shock, but I kept seeing the spell (Column of Lighting/Wiz) getting either resisted or just simply having zero effect whatsoever even with the mobs at 50% health or greater. It seems that the bug is greater than just the killshots...
