Spells: Rapture Immunity

In my experience Rapture is unresistable unless the mob is flagged immune to mez. For example, the spore king and his reavers are quite resistant - maybe 66% of normal spells without tash - and I have never ever had one resist rapture in probably 50-60 casts. On the other hand IIRC the Azaracks in Plane of Sky will resist Rapture despite being L53.

I'm just asking why Koro and Chottal are flagged immune to mez when they aren't in the mqemulator database. (Koro of course is a bit tricky as he was changed during the revamp).

MQemulator isn't always a reliable source. Not saying I disagree with you, but you'll probably need better evidence... I searched on Everlore and castersrealm a bit and didn't find anything, but I admit I only spent 5 minutes. Also, I doubt the Azaracks resist rapture when they only resist Bard mez about 10% of the time.

Err yeah, thats right the Azaracks are mezzable. Quite a bit of stuff in Sky isn't though but I haven't really done thorough tests.

Anyway I googled for rapture resists and the only thing I found was the Protector. I know absence of evidence isn't proof or anything but I'm curious why the Emperor and Korocust are flagged immune to mez when I can't find a reason for it.

[Splorf22]

Still curious about this. Even if you guys don't want to change how it works, I'd still like to know why you made these particular mobs immune.

I mained a chanter on SZ in PoP. never once had rapture resisted. It was during the legends server time, because I used that to change his name.

I remember one time I raptured Avatar of War !

Hmmm, actually according to MQ Emulator the Avatar of War is immune to everything including slow and snare, but I wonder if those changes occurred during the Great Immunity Addition of late 2001:

In fact, other than giants and dragons being immune to stun, and level caps on stun/mez, do we have any evidence than any mobs at all should be flagged as immune to stun/mez/charm/snare/whatever?

For example the guide linked by Nirgon does not contain the word immunity. I grepped for both immune and immunity in the patch notes (also Rapture) and I got very few hits. Searching for Chottal/Koro and immunity gets nothing either.

[Splorf22]

still curious

I also checked plane of sky and at least in MQ emulator the charm and mez immune flags don't even show up. For example the Spiroc Guardian should be dictateable according to MQemulator, and Azaracks should be charmable (IIRC they aren't on 1999).

Looking for some guild that doesn't mind me hanging out and casting Dictate on everything [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Post from 2006 of course but it does claim the Guardian should be mezzable (and I would think therefore dictateable). Also found:

claiming the Princess on #1 should be charmable.

And finally:

Which indicates that most mobs in Sky should be mezzable.
