This pathing bug was definitely confirmed as an exploit by the GMs about a year ago. I remember Yeeet getting suspended over it after not being aware of the GMs stance on the exploit.

I've been curious for a few months now to know which was the PH. How was it figured out?
It was likely discovered after a server reset or earthquake. He has a 1 in 6 chance of spawning and a 1 in 3 chance of having the belt. Get to searching!

He started off with what seemed a 33% chance which garnered a lot of belts. Sadly it seemed he got made rarer during our farming run which sucked :P

When there's an earthquake do regular mobs always spawn their rare counterparts? I've noticed it's not only raid mobs that spawn during quakes. A mob that I camp on a long timer also usually pops during quakes. I believe Lodi pops during all quakes. So there were quakes and they would notice one spot had a fellspine? Was it every time he would spawn to fellspine on quakes? Was it a case of every seahorse could become a fellspine but one had a much higher %? This camp and how people figured it out kind of fascinates me.

this got me curious - is this something particular to an exploit with Fellspine, or is this GM attitude general to crit resist on calm being used for pulls? I did it on my cleric ALL the time. I mean... it is kind of the way the spell is designed? You calm a bunch of mobs, and if you get an early crit resist, you got incoming, but if you don't, you eventually have a bunch of calmed mobs ready for single pulls...

It's totally cool to do it in VP pulls though!... But banned in ToV, for consistency.

to reiterate, it isn't the lull resist that is the issue. it is specifically a pathing exploit. if you do this pull properly, fellspine basically warps through a wall instead of pathing in a normal way. lull is used because it does not require line of sight. you agro him from an open pool of water while he is in a tunnel that is supposed to be dangerous to get to with tons of angry mobs between the 2 spots.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

General question about using crit resist on lull as a strategy elsewhere in game:

If a mob is surrounded by kos mobs but the mob in question is not aligned with them, is it permitted to run into an adjacent room and cast lull till crit resist and wait for the mob to come single?
