    Asked about this. "Essentially, instead of seeing 'doomspell xxxixixiiv' for every spell proc, you will just see 'doomspell' and the stats will change depending on the item's level."

    I agree that addressing the resurrection box + charm loophole in the attempt to alleviate players snagging quest mobs is the right move.

    Charm + Call of the Hero is however a mechanic that has many legitimate uses such as bringing quest mobs to convenient turn in locations, acquiring specific favorite pets deep within zones, and coordinating difficult pulls in a group without having to lose a pet.

    Please reconsider this change.

    Nice. More anti-griefing changes for TLP's. Thank you.

    As best I could test in a guild hall, rangers are getting bow shot damage and wizards are getting spell damage over 200 range now.

    Thank you.

    I think you may have broken something...

    ...my Blackened August Warhammer now shows Effect: Unknown Spell (Combat) Focus Effect: Unknown Spell.

    Same with Conflagrant Bodkin (unknown spell x 2).

    Not just caster stuff, Iron Sentinel's Spike (melee 1hp) has unknown spell as proc.

    Tooth and Blade of Caleus are showing the Alleviating Burst procs though.

    Proc augs added to an unknown spell item show in description.

    When casting with the bodkin equipped with a proc aug, the proc aug damage will show through but I never get an unknown spell proc message (looks like the base procs do nothing).

    Let me know if there is something specific you want me to test as follow-up.

    **EDIT: See Sancus posted same thing in New Bugs (always forget there are two test threads)

    Weapon procs are missing or showing Unknown Spell on most weapons right now. Mine has a proc listed and working as intended on my main hand but missing and unknown in tooltips on my off hand.

    Appears a lot of the Ros Raid wep procs are broke atm and a lot of others

    If you think about it, what you are stating as legitimate could very well be the opposite of legitimate. I can only assume that when developers design a zone, they put those mobs where they are for a reason. If they wanted them in a "convenient" location, they would have done so.

    Overall good changes to the event. I don't know what inpact the double the time but double the impact of the aura pulses will have on the event. Are we just on about the close to the centre / away from the centre auras? or is it on the steaming stone scorch too? I think some ways of handling the mephits at 50 and 25 will have to change depending on the severity of the auras. i.e. you would have to heal the same amount of dmg in double time, but whether it spikes and kills someone remains to be seen.
  12. Elyssanda Augur

    Doubled the impact of the Zone-wide pulse, why? it's already a raid killer.. Sure 3 warriors might survive the first pulse.. but doubling it just ensures they die too.
  13. Koryu Augur

    When UEE changes phases, the Magnificent Presence aura triggers immediately. If you're fighting him in the exact center of the room and eat the first pulse at its worst, it has been hitting me for about 80K. Even doubled, that should not kill anybody unless they were already heavily damaged by something else.
  14. HoodenShuklak Augur

    What does this entail exactly? I understand that normal dispels are a detrimental, but does this change include charmed pets?

    Because if you cannot dispel a charmed pet then literally rename the TLP forum to Norrath Salt Mine. This will be big.
  15. Skewert Lorekeeper

    As long as that charmed pet belongs to a member of your group, or it's your charmed pet, I think (based on the wording of the patch notes) it would work just fine.
  16. Axxius Augur

    Will you notice the difference between getting hit for 30k twice or for 60k once within the space of 4 sec?

    On Test server, my 65 mage summoned and tested the level 63 Child of Ro fire pet.
    Casting it focused with Symbol of Ancient Summoning (minion of eternity) the pet was level 63.
    It melee damage for 66 max non critical and casted Fire Elemental Bolt III Rk. III for 308 damage regularly during combat.

    I dismissed this pet and recasted the Child of Ro fire pet without using a summoning focus.
    The pet was now level 60, and melee damage non critcal max was 58. It regularly casted Fire Elemental Bolt III for 765 damage.

    Summary: It appears that the Focused versions of Child of Ro are not scaling the pets spell casts. They are much LESS than the unfocused versions.
  18. Elyssanda Augur

    Oh, that one.. I thought it meant the zone wide pulse that happens if a sentinel made it to the center.
  19. Truetotheblue New Member

    DBG, while I appreciate what the spirit of this change is trying to do and support you on this you're trading 1 can of worms for another. This takes away dispelling mobs during DPS races, or trying to grief groups with charm pets and trades it for people charming named mobs and running off with them or just "holding" them until the group that has it charmed is ready to kill it. In the earlier instance the group has a solution to bring more DPS that isn't reliant on a charm pet, but the latter instance players really have 0 recourse to combat toxic behavior abusing that mechanic.

    Normal dispells are not beneficial so it wont affect any of that.
