25 NPC AoE Limit

[funry]

At this point we're well into the end of velious and Luclin would be rolled out (Dec 2001 conservatively). The game received a graphic overhaul, as computers were getting better CPUs and GPUs. I think it's safe to say most people could handle more than 25 mobs, especially with spell effects turned off.

It was pretty much the standard strategy for trash clearing in VT and encounters in PoP to do AoEing. In Velious is it may have been less common but people definitely AoEd in Seb.

The biggest disappointment for me is that it really nerfs the full potential of some classes like Wizard.

You can still AoE 5-8+ mobs at a time for ridiculous mana efficiency.

It's just wasting everyone's time. The limit is supposed to be how much your group/raid can handle.

The limitation certainly isn't classic. There's no argument there.

And the counterargument that "BUT BARDS" is a shit one. Enforce the PNP.
