Game Mechanics: Mob Chain Casting

Pretty sure that mobs did not spam AoE moves. Like some of the goblins in HHK just don't stop casting cold aoe's.

This is incredibly easy to test, if your say level 30+, go agro a bixie queen in Misty Thicket, her level 5 DD's wont hurt you much, just stand there and see how long she cast, I gaurente she wont stop.

Mobs either have an insane mana pool or regen [ my best bet ] is way too high.

i always remember npc's having infinite mana, but casting this frequently (or at least the aoe's) isn't in my memory [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I could definitely be wrong though.. :/

I know for a fact they didnt have infinite mana. Anyone remember mezzing a caster mob in sebilis and using Theft of Thought on it to keep up with mana on those pull-happy groups? I sure do. And after a few minutes ToT wouldn't do anything.

That's incorrest. I used to use my mana syphon spells constantly on live and mobs stopped casting after I drained them.
