Game Mechanics: Lord Vyemm's stats

[Rogean]

Call of the Zero is a 0 second cast time though. It was affecting melee that much?

There's no situation where a mob should have two rounds in the same second, because I don't think there's any mob in the game that has an attack speed of less than 1.0. Unless there's other stuff going on with spells and the attack timer.

[Torven]

Actually there are several mobs with < 1 second delays. Several Vex Thal bosses do. Aten is the fastest I've seen at 0.6. Sony balanced the slowable Luclin bosses by giving them very fast attack delays. This was before slow mitigation, so it was their way to make sure slowed raid bosses weren't super gimp like in Velious.

Basically anything that makes an NPC 'begin to cast a spell' will make the attack timer more erratic, regardless of cast time. Again, it doesn't reduce the total number of rounds over time, (unless the cast times are long) just makes them sort of bunch together more.

It's easy to see in the logs when double rounds occur and there are upwards of 8 attacks in the same log second. Mobs like Aten are accurately measurable by slowing them and dividing by 4.

Damn, this encounter sounds fun as hell. I know I am on the other team, but I would love to hear of you guys killing him as-is.

[Buhbuh]

Any word on his HP?

[Proven Guilty]

Check hp on live and give some data for devs to compare.

Found Vyemm up on live yesterday and I tanked/killed him.

Lord Vyemm in 1737s, 262k @151dps --- Daldaen 262k @151dps

261,836 HP on live
Over duration of 1737 seconds (he was eating a 150~ damage shield entire fight so he should've been regenning), I suspect he is close to 250-260k HP.

I can PM a dev the melee rounds from Vyemm if they wish to see it, far too much to post here.

Also fun fact he wields his weapons:

[Wed Sep 02 19:55:59 2015] Lord Vyemm tries to crush YOU, but misses!
[Wed Sep 02 19:55:59 2015] Lord Vyemm tries to crush YOU, but misses!
[Wed Sep 02 19:55:59 2015] Lord Vyemm tries to slash YOU, but misses!
[Wed Sep 02 19:55:59 2015] Lord Vyemm tries to slash YOU, but misses!

Didn't know he could do that. Max/Min hit with 40ish CA/CS and 35 Shielding:

[Wed Sep 02 20:05:30 2015] Lord Vyemm slashes YOU for 1130 points of damage.
[Wed Sep 02 20:16:47 2015] Lord Vyemm slashes YOU for 180 points of damage.

Not that the value is relevant much, just figured I'd post it.

[Buhbuh]

Damage meters don't pickup DS's because they're like neutral damage, right?

150 DS over that long - depending on how many times he hit you, he must be 350k still.

I think he's double that here or just has insane regen.

[khanable]

We parsed him at over 700k tonight

which, as you said, probably doesn't include DS and nukes and shit.

He's got insane HP here!

Ah I apologize everyone! EQLive changed the way the text display of DS Damage and I hadn't updated my Gamparse since I quit live in 2012/13.

Lord Vyemm in 1737s, 359k @207sdps --- Daldaen 359k@207sdps (207dps in 1737s) [100%]

359,108 DMG total over 1737 seconds.

350K sounds correct.

Yeah, that sounds like it hasn't changed since 2001. That would make his regen like 9,000hp over the course of that fight.

That sounds like he was bumped near 1 million hp on our servers. That's 3x what he should be.
