TOFS Mobs Overpowered?
Hello,
Lately I've been farming second floor library for items with my 52 Enchanter and summoned pet. I've noticed some behavior that seems strange to me. It doesn't happen all that often, but has happened more than once. While fighting ghostly students which I assume are low 30's mobs, every so often one of them will steal my summoned pet and have it attack me. Now, I understand that this is possibility if the NPC is an enchanter, but how should it be able to charm my pet which is at least 10 levels higher than it? I left the zone last night with one of the student's by zone out with one of my pets next to it (Zebeker). Not sure if and how long it will stay that way. This is on the red server. Is this intended behavior? I will say, it certainly makes the fight more interesting [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

On the Allakhazam page, the Velious era comments mention Tserrina charming, but not a word about the 2nd floor mobs charming. Conclusions:

Thanks for research, Jaxon. Explains much of it.
Students stole my pet a couple more times last night...my hasted pet destroyed me the second time before I could mez/root it. Students do cast charm ALOT there, the ones that are chanters. But it never sticks on me because I keep MR up to 122 or so. Only spells that stick on me are Tash and sometimes a Necro DOT. Not sure if MR buffing the pet will help. Think I'll try that next. 99% of fights are pretty much trivial as expected with approx 20 level gap... | ||

i was fighting in ToFS on a lvl 43 pally with a group.
The ghostly scholars are kind of absurd now. They chain cast charm. If you pull one, its first cast is charm. If charm lands, he walks back to his spawn, bringing you with him. When charm breaks, he charms you again. After 3 or 4 charms, I guess he runs out of mana and him and his friends (because he will have pulled you through everyone) wipe you and your group. I think the charm mechanic is neat, but it is kind of rediculous when he can keep a player 15 lvls above him permanently charmed. Pulling one is almost always an auto death unless he is literally the only mob around. | ||

Casters on p99 have always been smarter/stronger than they were on live.

Enchanter mobs do stupid stuff on this server since the December 2014 patches.

That floor is extremely annoying. You can either stun lock them with color flux/shift, or you can spam the level 4 mez over and over. The goal is to never let them cast.

Some more proof that they didn't charm (this post is from 2001):
"2nd floor I've personally verified that there are also enchanter ghosts on the second floor (the non-charming variety, of course). I would assume all kinds of casters, but I haven't paid that much attention to which nukes were cast. Arlina" https://www.graffes.com/forums/showt...f-Cazic/page2& | ||
