How can a client decompile provide the logic that is handled server-side?

I was confused about this too at first, but it looks like the channeling code itself was included in the OSX client (TAKP emulates the Mac Al'Kabor server), and they decompiled that.

That's very interesting, did other stuff get include there by any luck? Got a link to a topic or something?

Torven PM'd me the code so I don't want to post it publicly. I do not know what other sorts of things might have been included in the OSX client. But I do know the channeling logic was one.

Would have to get the same info from the in-era clients, if possible.

If the client this has been retrieved from is from Luclin+ era... well, stuff there was very different.
Mobs in those eras were hitting like trucks, sometimes quadding / rampaging / flurrying without being raid mobs, they were basically buffed up. Their melee, ATK and AC sometimes were buffed up beyond reason as well, starting with Luclin...

However, the armor/items/spells available to the players also became very different compared to the Velious- eras - insane stats, focus effects, AAs...

Don't think you can just pick the channeling code from a Luclin+ era and stick it to a Velious- era without all those other factors taken into account.

But it's very interesting regardless as it allows us to get some insight on how stuff is/was done server-side.

Quest815, you seem confused. This thread is claiming that channeling skill is *too good* and needs to be nerfed to be more classic. Based on your other threads, I honestly think you are just a troll, but if you are not then you probably have some skilling up to do because you are posting random screenshots of multiple fizzles and getting interrupted by a stun. You don't seem to understand the game you are playing very well.

there is a post stating that it is OP at higher levels(because of a bug) and gimped at lower levels. I'll try to scrounge it up. But until then. You dont have to take my word for it.

There are actual trolls here, with thousands of posts who repeat the same thing over and over. Go see if you can find them !!
