Yeah, I've seen that. I am on the forums a lot, as you know.





What part of kanras's comments make you think this, Heallun? He doesn't say anywhere that stuff only applies to an initial tag. He DOES say, without qualification, that invis will not stop the transfer of direct aggro.

Hrm. Perhaps the initially tagged target will continue "yelling for help" during the pull. I'm uncertain ~ If that's the case then this camp just got really shitty :P

Way off topic now, but err... one of us is misunderstanding the change apparently! I thought anything that has direct aggro on someone who is invis will cause a train of assisting mobs, whether those mobs can see invis or not.

I was under the impression it was only on the initial tag (thus the needed direct vs indirect hate kanras was trying to find a workaround for)

[Arkanjil]

I would have to say enc, shaman, necro in that order

[Tecmos Deception]

I figured the indirect was needed or else direct aggroing 1 mob could potentially chain-reaction-aggro an entire zone.

So does this mean post-tag at some point the mobs chasing you who initially had indirect hate will then have direct hate? Blegh :P

Treats seemed to be saying that there was a radius around your character that, once a mob with indirect hate gets closer than that to you, it then has direct hate. Not sure if that's what will happen on here though.

The more threads I read about Invis/FD/Sneak pulling the more confused I get. I find it seems to vary a bit with different zones. But I do know the original Devs designed different zones so they vary that way agro wise. And with mobs that see invis and not etc, etc, etc. Some zones I just have to run out to get agro off, some I can FD and loose them, or split them. I hate it. I know pulling has Never been easy on eq, but P1999 seems to ALWAYS be weird no matter what u do.

It ought to get really damn interesting when Velious comes out. Lots of Wipes! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images.

Messing around in lower guk it seems mobs above level 35 dont lose aggro about 95% of the time. I can aggro this same mob, run out of aggro range of any mobs at all, fd, come back 15 minutes later and he still runs back. No choice but to fd and /q. Im certainly no min maxer, but theres no way this can be correct

Depends on what you farmin...

SK/sham can stomp single mobs really easy.

Enc/clr probably best or enc/sham (malise line is dope stacked with tash on charmed mobs)

[Ephirith]

Just make an enchanter. Not simply because they are OP beyond belief, but because there isn't a playstyle quite like it anywhere else. The idea of a class that controls chaos is just fun; I don't think any other class in EQ has as direct a line between your efficacy as a player and your ability to utterly dominate a situation or change the fortunes of a group or raid.

I would at least give it a try; it's unlikely the enchanter class is a mechanic we'll see in a mainstream MMO ever again.

Also, you can duo effectively with almost any spellcaster. I did enchanter/shaman from 1-51 and it was just nuts. As stated above, do ench/sham or ench/cler for high end nutso farming.
