Spells: Clinging Darkness

[Mardur]

Uthgaard no offense but you're missing the point a bit.

Yes, the spell is implemented the same here as it was on live. This is not the problem. The problem is with how P99 handles mob movement. The % snare on Clinging Darkness is surely the same as live, the problem is that mobs have naturally faster run speed on P99 than live. So say on live a mob run speed was 1.0 and here it's 1.25 (arbitrary numbers). After Clinging Darkness (30% snare) on live a mob would be running at 0.7 while on P99 a mob would be running at 0.875.

The result of this is the following:

The Regent Symbol of Innoruuk was a highly valued item on live and one of the main reasons that people made Troll Shaman. As soon as a mob went to run, the mob would stop dead in its tracks without running off and aggroing anything.

This item does not function this way here on P99, and mobs will still continue to move while fleeing from low health.

Yes, there are better spells in this line... however Clinging Darkness is the spell available on the Regent Symbol of Innoruuk, and thus the topic of this post. It does not function identically as it did on live, hence the bug report.
