Pulling with range + FD

Xerical · #1 03-24-2015, 02:18 PM

I see that they updated the range attacks to have a delay in hitting. I remember back in EQ around velious that I could pull static spawn mobs with my SK by tagging with my bow and FD right as the arrow hit. It often warped the mob on top of me instantly. I can't seem to get this to work on P1999 even after this change.

Anyone else remember this?

It was a bug back then and hopefully it never works here.

Sneak pulling is worse IMO

Thats using game mechanics though. What you talked about was a glitching in pathing/NPC interaction. There is a difference.

Both were classic yet FD warp pulling required more skill and timing... hopefully they bring it back. Or, if someone found a way to do it currently please let me know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Game mechanics is such a funny way to phrase this. You think it was meant to be that a monk should be able to tag a mob then have it run by all of its friends and solo pull to you? Aggro is so messed up.... If he is after you and runs by his friends, my guess is that his friends should also come for you.

But again... Game mechanics vs taking advantage of mob pathing or aggro issues...

If you insist on sneak-pull mechanics making IRL sense, I've heard it explained by devs as

"That dude just threw a javelin at me! Help me kill him"

"I don't see no dude there, somethins wrong with you brah"

You think it was intended to have item recharges/MQ/and non Paladins to have soulfire?

I do like this though... We need a pretty gif for this!
