How deal with the insane run speed of mobs - Page 3

Yes mobs are faster on P99 than they were on live. This has been debated to death in the forums, I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this.

The mob speed can't really be adjusted because if they slow the speed down in any manner, it becomes ridiculously easy to outrun them. It seems that the adjustment can't be calibrated finely enough or something, I dunno.

What I DO know is that once you get used to it, it's no big deal.

Ya its not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. You can get away from a mob for a decently long time by strafe-running and jumping a bit, with absolutely no run speed enhancements.

And to the person that thinks jboots were actually slowed all I have to say is "lol". That is a joke & a carry over from classic patch notes.

How is it different from classic then? Were PC's slower in classic too? What best describes the run speed of PC's/NPC's in classic?

You can still do this on p99. In the words of plato: ur doin it wrong.

You can't do it as often as you think.

Runspeed AND increased melee radius is the problem.

I seem to kite just fine with engulfing darkness. I know they run a little faster, but nothing not managable.

No reason a druid shouldn't be able to out run a mob. Snare is your friend.

You likely are having issues with a dual core processor interfering with the timing that the game is intended to run with...this has plagued quite a few people on emu servers for a while.

mobs run way faster on p1999 case closed. In classic you were able to outrun mobs without SoW.

In WoW yes, in EQ no.
