Miscellaneous: Eye of Veeshan (and other things in sky)

[Hobby]

DA Tanking wasnt changed until Veilous(?), but I do agree with your sentiments guineapig. It has trivialized nearly all of sky, allowing people to progress further than they rightfully should.

As well as cockblocking us lowly monks who just want the damn WR bag.



Just kidding, they usually will just hand you the bag if you ask. Thanks folks from IB/Darkwind for my bags.

The hand is using soul devour and the eye is using efreeti fire. This is a problem that has been around since sky opened but I could never really confirm my theory since the hand was never up.

The way the eye's spell effect is supposed to work is that it does that extra 500 magic damage proc as an on hit sort of thing which supplements the existing low melee damage it was supposed to be doing (IE: 200 melee + 500 soul devour). The guide above corroborates this to some extent.

Currently, the eye is instead using efreeti fire as its on swing proc (not with 100% frequency but still fairly fast). On the mobs that efreeti fire is present on and supposed to be present on (noble, overseer, hand), they proc it on a timed basis (every 24 secs it seems). What has happened here is that efreeti fire has been transplanted not only as the eye's proc, but as an on swing proc instead of a timed spell attack. This creates a constant rain of shit that kills anything that gets within melee range fairly fast. It was like this in August, and did it even more frequently than now. I think it is just a matter of switching around the effects.

That said, even if this stuff was fixed up it doesn't really address things like the ridiculous mob haste in the zone that gave birth to all the cheese strategies being used.
