Low hp aggro kiting
 
I do recall in classic that a mob would immediately jump to a player who is under around 20% hp.

However if that low hp player continues to kite it, and never goes above 20%, should it continue to just blindly chase that player regardless of any additional threat generated/damage done?

I never used that tactic on live (but use it here) so I can't comment, but this can be used to trivialize content right now.

So does a hand full of other, perfectly legal, tactics. Does that mean it need to be nerfed? No.

We all appreciate you trying to make this server more classic, but this isn't Nirgons personal blog where you can create threads about changing content based off what YOU remember. Do what everyone else does and try to locate some actual data or proof to your claims.

Good say, sir.

I was accused of cheating last night :p, recognize this as game breaking and am generating discussion.

I just said "I don't know if, but this seems like a problem" -- looking for other people's opinions such as : Nilbog, Treats, Ele etc.

Right now I think this is how it should work to be honest. The pixel hunger here man :p.

Ah and it should be 25% not 20, good find.

Nirgon 02-14-2013 04:17 PM

I don't see other patch notes regarding it. This would be a pretty major mechanical change they'd mention for sure.

I just feel like if low hp aggro would have been 100% threat forever... no matter what... more people would have known about it.

ive been playing EQ since the end of 2000 and always remember low HP aggro being sub 20%, not sub 25%.

Nirgon 02-14-2013 04:23 PM

It was definitely lower than 30 :P, but I'll consider that a side debate for later regarding this more pressing issue

Cwall 52.0 02-14-2013 05:12 PM

it's not currently 100%, i don't think

whistler has pulled aggro from me before when i was at ~15% on a big dual bard kite

heartbrand 02-14-2013 05:14 PM

I have never seen aggro pulled from someone with low hp to someone without before, but that doesn't conclusively prove it can't be done of course. Just to clarify I'm speaking about on this server, obviously on live I have.

Nirgon 02-14-2013 05:20 PM

Will be using and helping others until considered otherwise per Heartbrand :).
