Game Mechanics: NPC's should hit for max damage against sitting PC

[TWDL_Prexus]

While playing recently on a Shaman, and meming spells between attacks on a slowed NPC I noticed I was getting hit for normal damage. I specifically remember on live if you were sitting, and an NPC hit you, it was for the maximum they can hit for.

Brief digging led me to this thread from November 2000.

btw...I thought it used to be that when sitting you took full damage regardless?

Yes you take full damage when hit while sitting.

(Stunparking = Throw a stun into a group, walk away, sit down. The mob charges you, stand up just before it gets there so it doesn't get auto-max damage hits on you, then cast the fastest casting time root you have and walk back to the group)

I am sure there is more info out there, but I am positive sitting should mean you get hit for max. On here your sitting damage mitigation seems exactly as standing.
