Let's make them classic

Classic only goes so far as to DISadvantage players.

From RoZ / Kringe there's a wealth of "mined" info including npc run speeds on that mqemulator.net page

Confirms spec speed

I'd wager they were clinging darkness speed and not ensnare speed

This fits in line with the run speed of fire beetles and other mobs with a similar set speed.

Can outrun them without SoW or strafing, but if you stop for even as second they will catch you.

specs currently outrun my pet, i however never did classic specs, all i know is i have to kite circles in order for my pet to hit it. lol.


edit: also a 6.1 second cast time from max cast range, specs will close in on you before the cast. Dno if thats how its supposed to be either, but im dealing with it. /shrug it's not bad not complaining ill exp to the best of my abilities as a mage. if that includes face tanking mobs to get casts off i guess thats whats gotta be done.

Only mobs on p99 I think move slower than normal are scarabs?

A Spectre
Undead
Spectres hit for a maximum of 94, and tend to attach rather quickly. They are rare in that they move somewhat slowly, and can be outrun even without speed enhancing spells.

They have relatively few hp for their level, which is offset by their high damage output. Their two special attacks of a stun spell and a lifetap spell also help their damage output.

They are undead.

"OK LISTEN UP!!!
The specs in OOT are a 4 spawn... they have around 1700 to 1800hp and they can be pulled using harmony. Clerics can root them and nuke them in 3 casts (with Banish Undead), and they can be outrun WITHOUT SoW. Great exp even in the 40s. Oh yeah they hit anywhere from like 88 to 96 depending on their level.

Thank you! Been saying this for a while now. They run too fast.

The entire True Facts series by Ze is equally humorous.
