Open Letter to Nilbog & Co: Raid Item Nerfs

[Daldaen]

On live a Belly Caster mob, if you cast on the mob from out of its Belly range, the effect generates nearly 0 aggro (it's basically social aggro on the first click and nothing from then on).

If you want to test, drop 5 mallet charges into a rooted ToV dragon. Then run in on a warrior with Fortitude. Have a monk turn on autoattack and the ToV dragon will instant flip to the monk.

Or just test it on some fire Giants. Spam cast snare on them from out of range, see how well that works for you to pull aggro.

I'm about... 78.54% sure this is a classic mechanic. Not something they recently changed on Live. Which would surely make the current meta of P99 change up a bit when you can no longer mallet dragons out of trains.
