When is NPC mana nerf coming?

[Flamewraith]

Killing shadow men for a rapier with my pet is nearly impossible. At lvl 53 I have to assist my pet with a nuke as the shadow men chain heal themselves faster than he can kill them.

I have not experienced this on P99. Mobs will correctly re-acquire LOS before starting a new spell.

It does seem like they have a lot of mana, but what's more devastating is the level of spells that they cast. I don't think frogs in Sebilis have the same spellbooks they had on live, for instance. And running artound in TT, nearly every shaman frog in the zone has a pet - on live only the highest level shaman mobs would summon a pet.

There is absolutely zero way the shaman frogs in TT had a pet on live. I remember this quite clearly.

Also, here:

There is no mention of them having a pet, and there is a level 39 shaman talking about solo'ing one for his quest in the early 2000s - very unlikely because I tried doing the same thing at 39 with good gear and couldn't hang with the spam spells + pet harassment.
