Game Mechanics: Necro heal recourse incorrectly dispellable

[Nirgon]

I'm not asking because they broke and then fixed this with the 2002 spell system.

I'm asking because it was never this way classic through Velious. Period.

And your proof of this is....?

That'd probably be in the patch history.

No. No, I'm sad to say you are mistaken. On Kunark launch week back when Iksar were bugged to appear as naked Human males, I made an Iksar necro like many other unwashed scum and checked out the nearby noob zones and Cabilis.

I DISTINCTLY recall having to heal numerous times with friends in Lake of Ill omen at level 20+ on my tanking Ranger friend (lol) pulling crap to the shore. I constantly used Cancel Magic to remove the debuff during that time.

Go fishing for your proof that that through Kunark it could never be dispelled, and post it. Because you won't be able to. I healed with those spells for months until I grew bored and went back to my bard.

Yeah its in the patch history. The one you keep mentioning. They incorrectly flagged it dispellable (probably the default value) and then fixed it.

I'll await the Defiler's return (to repeat himself? maybe to talk about banishment but that's unrelated imo) but this is a quick and easy fix.

Can you please provide evidence of these spells being broken and Sony having to patch them all?

Can you provide any evidence except your friend's hearsay?

Do you know that trucidation was allowed?

And..

You think they won't drain you back during trucidation/2 touch of nights? These weren't clueless necros here.

Losing the pet meant losing the fight... every time. That isn't to say they'd just stand there and ignore other survivability.

[koros]

How would that be possible for them to do if they were busy nuking your pet dead?

[Nirgon]

Fight starts

I undead nuke your pet or put vexing on it even

You drain me

I now drain you back and forth while your pet is at an hp disadvantage and probably dies

Then you die when my pet is up your ass (you can root it sure, but dispel->root->dispel->root you will be taking pet hits... and getting actually interrupted with classic channeling)


Edit: If they drained you.. you just drain their pet.

725 one time on a spectre is going to be a bit less than 30% of its hp. It's going to last a long time with another pet beating on it. Trucidation is going to leave you at ~15-30% of your hp if you're lucky. In which case, if we're gonna just trade taps, i'd spam my pet to ignore the other pet and attack you. You'll die in a few rounds. I don't see how this negates what becomes an easy win.

Where's the patch note that says "we broke it this patch"?

Lol.

Esta muey funneys.
