NPC Spawn Issue: Arnis McLish (Everfrost) should be undercon

[Jimjam]

This guy, a young Warrior of the Wolves outside Black Burrow, should be level 4 and capable of beating up level 8-10 melee players. Instead he is getting womped by spiderlings.


His frailty is interfering with the Elixir Delivery quest.

He mitigates well, should attack fast ("like a monk", so perhaps dw/da) and hard (14-24 damage and dodges a lot), but probably had usual max hp.Evidence stretches from early eq to out of era, here are a few quotes:

"This guy is pretty tough for his level, he con'd green to me(lvl 8 monk at the time), but he still wiped the floor with me.
-Hectah, Monk of Tallon Zek" - Feb 27 2000

"This ***** Coned Green To Me At Lvl 15 so i figuered id kill him right..well wrong the prick cast lvl 14 spell on me and hes supposed to be max lvl 4..well to make a long story short he wiped the floor with me" - Jun 04 2000


"There's no way he cons right
I think this is the right guy... all those barbarian names are hard to remember.
I was an 8th level rogue and kind of bored. I keep seeing this guy hanging out near BB and he conned green to me, so I figured, what the heck... he had no weapons on him or anything and I was right near a zone. Long story made short, I hit him once, he pounded the hell out of me and I couldn't even make the zone... His shaman friends must have given him every buff in the book or something. Be careful if you decide to attack this guy..." - Jul 25 2000

"All Barbarian Guards are tougher than they con. In simple everyday language this means "Don't mess with Barbarians, We will wipe the floor with you every time" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]" - Jul 29 2000

"Do NOT melee! Arnis is like a high level monk in that he hits really fast. If you plan to kill this guy, it's almost mandatory that you're a caster or at least a hybrid. I'm sure that a really high level could take him down easily, but that is later on down the road.

If you're a pure fighter and you plan to fight Arnis, I can offer one piece of advice. Be bound nearby." - Apr 21 2001

"The real way to kill this guy is dot spells. I killed him with my lvl 9 shaman. i used my dot on him and it killed him pretty fast. But the bad thing is he took just about to bubbles of hp before he died" - Jun 30 2001

"i saw him a casted a lv12 nec dot on him, he ran at me turned around and died, the dot was only a 150 dot and it killed him not even 1/3 thru" - Aug 17 2001

"He is definatly an undercon, Conned green to me as a lvl 10 Rogue and I figured WTF? So I hit em with backstab. Wrong move! He whipped me good.

Moral of the story? Dont fvck with Barbs!

"I was a ranger hunting around black burrow and decided to zone to the peaks to see what was around there. I seen this moron attacking defenseless animals and that is a big no no to any tunare worshiping ranger. I was lvl 12 and decided to attack since he conned green, I don't think he is an undercon but he is very dangerous. He had me rather low when i took him down espicially since he had a weapon, he double hit for 14-24 or so and dodged alot.
Just thought this might help out anyone who wanted to know about this bad man

Please fix Arnis so he can terrorise the mobs pathing around outside BB and give the newbs safe spot as Brad rightfully intended.
