Unfortunately, we will need to update existing npcs to use the new spelltype.


#1. All death touches should be 45 seconds correct? Currently there seems to be a mix of some which are 30, others which are 45.

#2. Are there any 'boss' type abilities which should not be on reliable timers?

#3. Should there be any 'beneficial' type spells which are on guaranteed timers?


If anyone wants to assist with compiling a list of which abilities should be guaranteed, it will help ensure none are missed.
Whenever I found classic log files with multi DTs I would check and it was 45sec. I can't say I audited every single mob (especially Sleeper) but I hadn't ever found a special "faster DT"
