NPC Spawn Issue: PoM forest mobs have significantly less HP than they should.

[CrazyPro]

They've got like 2.6k HP, which is incredibly squishy for mid 40s warrior mobs. World's first overcons?

You could probably dig up Torven's parses of all of the PoM mobs that he did right before the Al'Kabor server shut down (which still had the original pre-revamp PoM) and see if this is correct, but I'm pretty sure his parses showed these mobs having waaaay more HP than they do here.

Here's an in-era comment on Not Poddle Pop's allakhazam page from 2001:

10k HP or mad regen. The Kite of my life. He took at least 10 dooming darks, 4 splurts, 2 ignite bloods, 4 or 5 EBs. He only had a sliver of life, my snare came off, all DoTs came off, and I had to FD while OOM and only 300hp left. Grrrrr. Only hits for around 100 and doesn't summon.

Currently on p99 he dies in 2 or 3 druid nukes.

There was also a slightly out of era reply to the above comment that suggested that the mobs in the castle had 20k hp, and I'm pretty sure those mobs are hovering around maybe 10-12k on p99.

Don't think regen is an issue, not entirely sure though. But if he does have 10k, he's easy, that's just 5 banes of knife [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Mobs in castle I've fought have easily 20k.

Nilbog, which of your minions undertuned these mobs?

Yeah most level 40 warrior mobs will have at least 3.2khp (sonic bats, CS wyverns), sometimes close to 4k (bottom of drolvarg sentry spread).
