Game Mechanics: Game breaking raid issue: Sirran the Lunatic

[Qriptoniq]

Still waiting for this to be fixed.

I recall raiding with my guild on Druzzil Ro, <House of the Crimson Rose>, back in the day and being unable to charm him with Dictate. However, we had this awesome Bard named Songbird who would charm him and carry him all over PoSky with us. I can recall with certainty, furthermore, that he would DT, seeing as we were ALWAYS having to hand out resurrections to poor Songbird. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm quite surprised, due to the overwhelming evidence provided, that great Sir Nilbog has not restored this to a Classic™ version!

More, source:

When the princess is slain, a MOB you’ll come to know and love
spawns in her place, a halfling called Sirran the Lunatic (level 63).
Sirran The Lunatic, like the Key Master, should never be attacked. He hits for 2000+ and death
touches so you’ll pretty much be dead before you can say “mommy”.

Also, pretty please fix Bzazzt...

I have to say this Plane of Sky is really bad ass and worth a read through for anyone trying to make it more classic.

It also notes how the Eye of Veeshan should work correctly:

She hits for around 170, procs an
efreeti DD on almost every hit and also Death Touches.

Please fix up EoV, Sirran (insane.. come on..) and bee quadding.

I'm sure people will contend that RZ didn't kill any raid bosses because we had no clue what we were doing raid organization wise (sleeper much?), but the truth is, we had people fully geared up and did clear this content. I've combed through this guide and its absolutely written by someone March 2001 (fairly early Velious imo) and also by someone who knows what the hell they're talking about.


More on dictate, source:

This is completely unresistable, expcept for dragons, gods, and mobs immune to magic. It will work on anything besides those that is level 58 or below.

Again from the above:

a halfling called Sirran the Lunatic (level 63).

Please help us make Plane of Sky the classic raid zone it was during live. Plane of Hate feels classic as hell and is very awesome, we only need to address invis stacking and maybe some of the mobs needing to see invis there.
