Bazzt Bzzt supposed to proc Cazic Touch?
I found this interesting, and it may apply to P99.
On the current EQLive progression servers, players were complaining of Bazzt Bzzt in PoSky randomly hitting players for 110,000 damage. A dev (Prathun) finally responded to one of the multiple topics about this and said, Quote:

This is very interesting, it does explain why these mob were reputed to have such dangerous damage spikes!

I remember Bazzt Zzzt procing death touch. On live, death touch is now 110k

So, there's only one mob in sky that has a timed DT and a procced DT?

does the Queen Bee still 'cast' DT every 30 sec in addition to this being a 'proc'?
or is the castable DT ( which is called Cazic Touch for all NPCS ) randomly replaced with a proc

All island bosses from the 4th island and upwards have the cazic touch ability. There seems to be a different % rate depending on the boss, the 5th island one having the highest rate according to my guesstimation.

The interesting thing to me is that I've done the Bazzt Bzzt fight several times during all different eras of EQ and have never heard of her proccing a DT. You would think one observant tank out there would have noticed at some point in their logs that they took DT-like damage outside of the normal DT cycle. I've read some guides and see no mention of this. Does anyone remember Bazzt Bzzt actually proccing a DT? This is further evidenced by all the recent threads/complaints about this "random" 110,000 damage that Bazzt Bzzt sometimes does. These are players who have done these fights numerous times in the past - if we knew that she could proc a DT, why is everyone suddenly so surprised by this ability on the most recent progression servers? It's like, I don't want to believe Prathun is lying, because what reason would he have to do that? Just because they don't know how how to fix the bug? That seems really unlikely. But it also seems unlikely (although I guess more likely) that players somehow went 18 years without noticing or documenting this ability. If Bazzt Bzzt has always had this ability (and if it's true that this is how she's scripted on Al'Kabor, it's highly likely that she's always had this ability) - can anyone find mention of it at all, anywhere? Because if that evidence is found, then the encounter would need to be updated here on P99. On a side note, just how sadistic was the dev who designed this mob? EQ didn't see a more difficult encounter until late-game Velious raiding.

Any evidence, besides the non-classic 110lk Cazic Touch?
Working as intended. | ||
