Spells: Dragon Roar

[Colgate]

dragon roar on velious mobs seems waaay overtuned atm, resist rate at 255 MR seems to be about 35%-50%, and when it does land(majority of the time) it lands for an unreasonable amount of time, upwards of 20 seconds

feels like every time i fight klandicar, sontalak, and zlandicar i may as well be typing /random 100

I agree with this.

The base resist rate seems about typical, its the duration which seems not correct:

When watching each of these videos you will see that about 50% of the raid eats a fear each time it casts. Of those 50%, the vast majority are un-feared after 6 seconds and everyone is un-feared after 10 seconds.

No one is getting 15-20 second fears, let alone seeing 10-20 raiders having such long duration fears.

yeah, the whole raid ate a fear on a zlandicar attempt on several occasions today, and around 20-25 people would end up all the way in the entropy serpent pond before their fear broke

We had this issue on beta as well.

Bump. This is still very broken.

Look at the videos provided. See how every fear a decent number get feared (50% is safe), this part is working classicly.

But what isn't working properly is the duration. Most of the fears seen in those classic videos are 0-5seconds. Very rarely a few people will eat a 5-10second fear. Almost no one eats 10-20second fears.

However on P99, people are regularly eating 20second fears with 255 MR. This is wrong. On harder dragons it basically forces you to stack number and Zerg out dragons because you are having to accept half your raid being permanently feared.

That should not be the case. Please review the code for early breaks on fears. No one with 255 MR should be hitting max duration fears, just like no one is full duration rooting level 60 mobs, early breaks should be happening.

I'm afraid this effected old-world dragons too. Had some decently geared 60s (MR>150) taking repeated fears from Ragefire last week, which I'd never seen before.

[Colgate]

had a 23 second fear last night with 220 MR against sontalak

it was real dumb

just seems like the frequency at which NPCs land spells on you is way too high

sub-60 giant casters in kael arena were landing immobilize on me on every single cast when i had around 175 MR

turmoil toads landing panic on you in plane of fear even at 255 MR all the time

etc.

[Daldaen]

Bump.

This is still dumb.

Zlandicar, Klandicar and Sontalak are far more difficult than they should be due to this. They should be challenging, but there is no reason level 60 players with 150-255 MR should be eating 20second fears.

View all the videos I posted above. They show no scenarios of 20second fears. Very few of 10 second fears. Most everyone is unfeared after a single tick. And these guys aren't all stacking to 255 MR and I'm sure they have a few non-60s mixed in.

Agreed. You can circumvent the absurd overtuning by bringing 17 level 60 rogues as Rampage has done to kill Sont but that's by no means classic. It was ridiculous in beta and it still feels completely incorrect.
