Plane of Sky azaracks

[Jib]

Normally the Azaracks on p99 work in this manner... The PH for the protector hits for 210 max where the trash non PH's hit for 190 max.

Normally I single pull the Azaracks and test the max hit before i tell the guild to assist to be sure its not the PH.

Last night during sky i pulled an azarack. it hit for 175 max and i let it beat on the tank for a good 100 rounds or so. hit for 175 max like 25 times and never higher. I was a bit confused but we killed it anyhow. No Protector spawned. So i pulled another azarack, same deal wouldnt hit for more than 175 on any class. Killed it, no protector... Pulled a 3rd azarack, hit for 175 max again never higher, killed it protector spawned so we were forced to kill it causing sirran not to spawn because he was still on isle one. This concluded the raid and we were forced to cancel the rest of it due to no sirran.

I dont know what the deal with the azaracks are maybe it was changed on purpose I dont know. If not they are definitely bugged out!

If Protector spawns on you and Sirran is up, aggro him on... Anyone with SoW and kite him around until a ranger or someone on Island 1 confirms Sirran is down.

Alternatively buy your Island 2 keys and don't worry about popping a Sirran or killing Fairies on 1.

Or corpse all of your keys each week so you don't have to worry about Sirran.


As for bugged nature... The Azarack that is supposed to be the PHer is supposed to be the static spawn on the island. Reading through old guides I didn't see mention of a higher max hit like we had here. So it may be a classic fix.... But I didn't research too intensively.

This happened on our last sky raid too. Protector trigger hit max 175. Not a big deal though, we just kited him when he spawned.

Saw this issue as well.

Sky guide from late 2001 (http://web.archive.org/web/20011029115322/http://members.cohesive.net/~rtaylor/EQ/skyguide/)

9 Azaracks. All hit for 190 except placeholder that hits for 220. The place holder is the mob that normally just sits a bit clockwise of the port-in spot without moving around.

Interesting note from the same page:

You can trigger the sister as many times as you want, and get keys for everybody in your raid.

To do this, one person must remain behind on Bzzazzt isle when everybody else goes up to drake isle. They need to "/say citanul eht narris liah" (Hail Sirran the Lunatic, backwards) every minute or so to keep him from despawning. If you say the correct phrase he will reply back something backwards.

Also:

Hailing Sirran will keep him from despawning if you have linkdead people who need keys. But be sure to let him despawn when you're down with him.

went to sky again a few times.

the azaracks are all still hitting for 175 max every single one even the PH. Is this intended? i just want to know is all i dont mind if its not changed

Recently some older npcs went through a di/db change. Azaracks were one of the listed npcs.


Azaracks (PoA) 55 6 .11 Evasive


20*6+55 = 175.

If this isn't correct, I'll change it back. Just need to know specifics.

the issue is that the PH for Protector of Sky was suppose to have a higher max hit than the other normal Az's

Spawns after you kill the static Azarack (the one that hits for 220). Max hit I saw was 290. He will refuse to budge from his spawn point until you have done enough damage that he starts summoning (we were unable to pull him to the raid force or otherwise position him until that point).

[nilbog]

Pending update,

Changed the ph max hit to 220. If the others should hit for 190 instead of 175 I can change them as well. Would like more info.

[Jib]

I'm not entirely sure how it was on live. I was just saying from my experience on blue the ph hit for 220 and the trash hit for 190 for like the past 3 years. Until recently as you said the db lb con change somehow affected it.

I'll be going back up to sky in a few days and see how it works. thanks!

[khanable]

On live the ph didn't path. He hung around to the left of the click up spot. Shouldn't aggro immediately like the others too.

[Jib]

its not a bit deal but just wanted to let you all know the problem was never fixed cause they all still hit for the same 175.

Correct. As there has not been a patch since the 3rd when nilbog said he would fix it.
