Default Wizard Tears line of spells are usually resisted if used on more than one target

Tears of Prexus
Tears of Druzzil
Tears of Solusek

The resist rate of these spells is far less if only one target is hit.

Can you provide some logs showing this? Bug reports require a little more evidence than that if you want the admins to give you any attention at all.

Perhaps this is superstition, but there seems to be a hard coded limit on how many rains you can land before they start being auto resisted. I'm not sure what resets this, but refreshing snare nor landing melee hits certainly don't break the combo. Perhaps it is a time based thing? or just coincidence?


Just as evidence, I went to sea fury island to experiment there.

Sea furies con blue to my 52 wizard.

Here is a truncation of a typical fight trying to kill a blue con with rain. It starts okay, then just stops landing at all for about 20 waves.

Code:
[Sat Jul 01 09:08:50 2017] A seafury cyclops bashes YOU for 28 points of damage.

Note I ran out of C and time on the second fight so had to finish the mob with a normal nuke after snare broke. Again 8 hits from the waves then just a huge string of resists.

I think the max 8 hits per cast has somehow been corrupted to be 8 hits max spread across several casts. Perhaps until 8x4 waves have happened?

I think it is meant to be a max number of hits on a single cast, not spread over many casts though.

I have discovered the source of the bug I was facing (many resists in a row on a single mob).


------------------------------
August 26, 2003
------------------------------

- AE Rain Spells were resisted 100% of the time when an NPC was above
level 20 and had less than 10% of its hit points left. This will no
longer happen.


Which Haynar mentions is implemented:

OP were any of the mobs (or your pet) you were raining low on HP when you cast the spell? Perhaps this is what was triggering the forced resists?
