Rygar, you should read this post so you'll have a better understanding of how memblur's are/should be calculated. The 1% is misleading. https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=250990
The calculation of a 1% blur
Assuming it is 1% for RA on P99 and we were testing it only against level 53+ mobs, it should still have almost a 40% chance of success on each role if cast by a 255 CHA Enchanter. I've tested it against level 2-53 mobs and it blurs instantly and stops. On mobs on the lower end of that scale it should have 100% success rate on every tick, just like feign death always memblurs low level mobs.
Very few Enchanters on Live thought it was valuable to have 200+ CHA, but a few did. Maybe the plane buster had 255 CHA and was casting it on level 49 planar mobs, lower level Clerics of Innoruuk, while the guy farming seafuries after level 49 using a summoned pet had 120 CHA and was casting it on level 53+ mobs like higher level Fear gorillas. Again, we have no way to know.
TLDR - Even if this was a memblur 1% chance 4 out of 4 ticks it would be useful.
It says that regardless if it works or fails, all memory blurs do. The complaint was that it didn't say "Soandso doesn't blink a few times, he remembers you". It gave the same message no matter what. The only way to see if a blur worked is 1) invis/ivu if applicable 2) Out of combat regen if applicable 3) see if the mob still wants to kill you. That applies to all blurs. |
I will confirm that blur mechanics on this server (and as I recall them on live) make it extremely difficult to know if something has been blurred. There are techniques, as Para indicates above, but there are no logs or other clear indicators one way or the other which would confirm that a blur was successful. My p99 experience on blurs is that green mobs are practically a 100% chance to blur. I can’t recall and instance where they weren’t blurred.
I’ll also say that in the absence of compelling evidence that a spell was “classically broken”, we should strive for spells that work as intended.
Maybe the devs will disagree, but I’ve yet to see convincing evidence that the spell was broken as of 1/28/01 in the timeline, and would argue that the spell should work as Para has outlined in this thread. Also, I look forward to using it in TOV to goalie 😂
