I am sorry for beating this horse, but I have found more links to support my annectodal claims from my live experiences. I never killed anything in skyfire after kunark, so have no experience at all with the revamped (current on test) chromodracs. Maybe more people who spent a lot of time in skyfire DURING THE KUNARK ERA can weigh in here with their experiences, particularly the kite classes like druid, wizard, necro since they wouldn't be eating numerous dispels vs chromodracs unless things go wrong.
This post sums up my opinion nicely, except he is wrong on boil blood, it is a chromodrac ability that is used at range.

I just wish they would stop messing up my current old zones I hunt in. YES, they nerfed some mobs with their super D duper "stealth" nerf. I now when kiting chromo's in skyfire get dispelled as soon as the mob is in root range.. WTF... This never used to happen with us before, so I can only assume the Nerf bat has been in use more then just PoP spell drops..

Edit: Judging by the graffes post, I would say the change happened on Oct 16 2002, putting it in the Luclin era.
