Mob run speed?

[Lune]

Mobs are currently warping around and stuttering quite badly for me, especially when I FD and try to split. Ironically, this wasn't happening to me at all before the patch.

Good news is I'm no longer getting that annoying laggy skip that points me in a random direction.

If they were running slightly faster, it wouldn't be as bad as with all this warping. It's horrible [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Those rods in West Cabilis were a key to stability it seems [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah I noticed all night that goblins in sola were WAY faster than they have been in the past. But I had several deaths tonight not due to run speed.

I play once a week as a Bard with a friend, and it seems that bard mezzing is broken as well. I use to be able to AoE mez a group of mobs, and it would last at least until I could twist one song in between mezzes, or it would break slightly before I re-mezzed.

Now mezzing either results in them showing "their head nods" then they keep beating on me, or it works for about half a second then it breaks and they eat me alive.

I even tested it on some newbie mobs in the freeport area after my latest corpse run, with similar results =(.

as you level BARD AoE mezz becomes more more and inefficient. By 40's or so it does absolutely nothing. BARD AoE mezz i think only semi works until about lvl 25 or so.

You know, instead of speeding up ALL the MoBs and gimping everybody, why not just slow down the bard's normal run speed by 35%? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am only level 18 or so but my bard mez works awesomely at this level. It's only 1 tick so I can only twist in one other song with it though, but it has saved my life many a time.

I can tell you I am enjoying the Bard because it's a bard. I never swarm kite. The only soloing I do is for questing (just got a Brazen Brass Kilij the other day, gonna start working on Kerra Isle quests this weekend).

My guess is the mob run speed while feared has something to do with this issue. I was able to quad kite in OT but did notice some succulents randomly catching up to me from time to time while I had SoW. Didn't die but it was frustrating as heck.

I was in DL yesterday for a while. I popped a SoW pot and it seemed like SoW to me....I wasn't paying attention too much, but it didn't seem faster.

BUT! A bard was 'helping me' last night too and I saw an issue and it was obvious.

Working on it. I know where to look. Hopefully get a fix for speeds done later today.

I got player speeds pinned down. Working on mobs now. Dunno if i have time. But will nerf bards too if i have a chance.
