This mob AEing through walls thing is bullshit

Lol ChardokB isn't Kunark

[L0stman]

The overking's AE did not go through walls. He was original Kunark.

I have absolutely no doubt about this - used to act in a group that farmed him for singed scrolls. The only question I might have is if this was changed - we farmed him nonstop from PoP onward. I assume his AE behavior was the same in Kunark but I cannot state that as a fact.

--edit--

In case someone asks, we were farming the overking for the singed scroll multiquest sale rights.

I was unsure when CharB came out, that's the only example I could remember from Kunark. I know VS in Karnors had an AE but don't recall if it was avoidable via walling or not (though its an outdoor zone I think so maybe it wasn't).

That's wrong, on both statements. Avatar uses flurry on his target, I dont think he even has a single target rampage.

Maybe he meant Vindi?

But he only has single-target rampage, not AoE.

yea vindi is ST ramp, i cant think of any velious bosses that have ae ramp. In fact Im pretty sure the ae rampage mechanic wasnt introduced at all until Planes of Power expansion. At least I cant remember from my memory any Luclin or Velious mob that ae rampages, if their is one tell me which Im interested!

Perhaps AOE rampage was later on. You're right about AoW, dunno what I was thinking. Probably getting confused with RZTW or something.

Pretty sure Tormax and Vindicator were both single target. Statue by all accounts was AoW but slowable. I don't recall anything from ToV with a memorable melee other than Vyemm, and Vyemm was only difficult because of the fear.

Edit: Now I'm just wracking my brain trying to remember why "max melee" range was important on any of the giants. I can only remember that being important on a few dragons who had a closer-range aoe and the AE ramp mobs. Perhaps that was just my guildleader forcing us to practice.

Vyemm didn't use fear, he used AE directional knockback & was unslowable till POP and disease slow came out. Vyemm was difficult because of him knocking all your clerics up in the air mid way through a quad and then dropping the hammer on your tank with 6 straight hits + AE damage and making his face explode.

No dragon cept maybe occasionally Lady Mirenilla used fear in North, and her simply cause she was an SK.

Max melee was important due to the fact that some of their hitboxes were so large that you could get the range aggro reduction and literally unload with abandon.
