Provide some proof that stuns aren't immediately interrupting casting, because I seriously doubt it.

This is not some big secret that needs to be disproved everyone here can confirm that people are indeed regaining through stuns. I see it everyday in pvp.

Really hard to test and prove, what ever will we do

My testing is called pvp which I do daily, you can test and confirm it if you like but I'm 100% certain. Out of 300-400+ pvp encounters I've seen my slam interrupt one gate attempt. ONCE!

Meanwhile most of my kills vs casters on live were due to my slam stopping a gate on a low lvl caster. Here ONCE!

Just saying devs can test this one np

the "post proof" train is really unnecessary for this one

Hail to Da King

I wouldn't mind proving it to dev's but to do that I'd have to dual box and I follow the rules on red. We can test it later if you want to show some screenshots.

The problem with some of game mechanics is the fact that Eq is one of the oldest MMO's and it's classic coding predated the cable modems, google, wiki, and half of the sources we even use to track down things nowadays.

Even if you had every patch note available and all lucy data, you still would have a very incomplete look at EQ's coding. At some point you are forced to go on memory alone.

I personally think the staff should have gotten together a group of volunteers that played on red to debate and vote on things to fill in incomplete details on the coding.

If what your saying is true, than you are literally saying Hit chance rolls solely off the weapon skill and offense and doesn't factor in the opposing players Ac at all.

Only three factors affect hit chance (assuming equal level), and offense skill isn't one of them:

1. Attacker weapon skill
2. Defender defense skill
3. Defender agility value

that would mean a warrior had a equal hit/miss chance vs cloth as they do vs plate. You know that's wrong vs live right?

It isn't, because AC from armor doesn't affect hit chance here nor did it on Live. I'm not wasting any more time attempting to explain it.

The problem making hit chance in PvP so high on this server is due to the value used for base hit chance being too high, or the contribution made by the difference between attacker's weapon skill and defender's defense being too great, or a combination of both. At any rate, Haynar's already investigating it so we might as well all shut up about it until he makes changes.

He's a caster who's had "300-400+ pvp encounters". If it happens as often as he claims then it's likely he'd have log evidence of it happening in his favor.

Not that much to ask of someone making such a claim.

This is what happens when you do that.
