TOFS: Tserrina underpowered?

Tecmos Deception · #1 03-07-2014, 03:32 PM

60 cleric and 60 chanter killed Tserrina twice the day after beta went up, both times she was a total, 100% pushover. She didn't resist a single MR-base spell after Tashanian, and she even managed to stay fettered while I landed 6, full-damage chanter nukes. She never once tried to charm, though I don't know if her spending 95% of the two fights aggrod on my animation because of root is the reason why she didn't do any charming.

I didn't really think she'd be too nasty, but it looks like she might be easier than she should be based on old zam comments, although these comments do range pretty widely in their descriptions of her difficulty:

60 cleric getting 50ish% resists on stuns (with a chanter along, so presumably Tserrina was tashed): http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/n...06161804730731

51 necro unable to land any spells except lifetaps: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/n...06631286810743

65 cleric calling her a "resistant b*tch": http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/n...10869491633427

65 wiz saying she was "very resistant to root": http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/n...08920021956205

65 necro saying he had 1 darkness resisted: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/n...10253997783637

I know they aren't Velious era, but they're 2004 or earlier for what that's worth.

Another note kinda related - Drumas and I only ever saw bats in 3 of the 4 rooms where Tserrina is popped. I believe it was the second room on the left, when facing in from the stairwell room; we killed probably 12-15+ bats to spawn her twice and never had one pop in that room. This "comprehensive Tower of Frozen Shadow guide" says there should be a bat in each room though: http://www.eqcleric.com/threads/4814...-Shadow-Guide?

The second page of that guide has a comment, again, indicating she maybe should be more magic resistant (dec 2003, 2 65s had trouble landing snares and stuns on her) and that she tried to charm repeatedly in a single fight.

Pending update:
Increased her resists.
Added magi curse and vampire charm.

I think there might be something wrong with magi curse atm.. so that will need to be looked into. She appeared to be trying to proc it on herself.

Also added magi curse and vampire charm to Vhalsera.

Nice.

Definitely was a bit sad that Drumas and I FULLY buffed, medded up, had him rebind in the tower incase of a wipe, etc, just to faceroll her a couple times. At least expected to get charmed and start a small train or something [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Confirmed (last few times she was killed).

Magi curse should be working as detrimental now.

Will need feedback on duration/resists of vampire charm and magi curse.

Magi Curse added to Amontehepna and Cara Omica, pending update.

is Magi curse the thing that spins you around similar to whirl til you hurl?

We killed her 10 times last night and I report that her vampire charm is WORKING haha

Trio-ing her is a little tricky now when she gets you charmed, I dont recall if I resisted any of them ( was sitting at 239 magic ) and they seemed to last quite a while tho it varied ( as do most charms )

Will farm her some more to test her abilities further as another enchanter friend would like the robe and it took something like 9-10 kills for one to drop.
