Game Mechanics: Myconid Spore King

Colgate · #1 08-29-2014, 10:29 AM

right now the myconid spore king is using the Flame of Light spell, which to my knowledge doesn't exist until velious

Code:

[Thu Aug 28 21:04:15 2014] myconid spore king regains concentration and continues casting.
[Thu Aug 28 21:04:15 2014] You resist the Flame of Light spell!

he also appears to be using AI that i've never seen in this era, where he will cast stuns to interrupt someone else's casts when they're not at the top of the hate list

for example, i was fighting him with a cleric healing me yesterday, and he would repeatedly cast Force on the cleric while the cleric was in the middle of casting a spell, despite me having aggro the whole fight
