Game Mechanics: Sneak and CoS Pulling (Monks/Necros/SKs)

Stuff like this is directly related to fungi's flooding the market etc. It was tested on EQ Mac as well and proved that invis should not be affecting a mob's ability to make a bring a friend check.

EQmac is on PoP timeline though. That's post velious and beyond where this server is going. Testing something there doesn't mean it's the way it should be here. Yeah a lot of things are useful to reference because on EQmac because it is the earliest version of EQ available to us to compare, but the timeline is still different.

I'd say this sticks unless someone can show us the patch note where it was changed for Luclin / PoP. Nasty bug and broken mechanic.

You need to stop making these posts.

Okay I'll rephrase.

"Given that this does not happen on a classic PoP server (EQ Mac), please find us the patch note where this was changed past Kunark or Velious. Otherwise, it needs to be fixed."

4) Using Thrown Weapons and Sneak to split.

With the changes to Sneak (no longer dropping when you use a thrown weapon ) another use has come up! In order for this to work, you must be using a ranged weapon with a ranger greater then the static aggro of the mob ( ie method # 3 listed above): engage sneak, throw, insta split. Personally I'm using summoned suriken for this, and I haven't had to use FD on a split since I got back into EQ. This includes splitting spawns where the mobs are literally on top of each other, although some times I have hit the mob i didn't have targeted, I have never aggro'ed the other.

So according to this monks and rogues can instantly split any camp with 0 risk.

Not on here you can't.

Projectile items have basically no flight time.

Not really sure why you posted this.

As it is right now with Sneak, Monks can split any camp on P99 with 0 risk, just as you stated...

Pull a camp
Feign Death
Hit Sneak
Wait until all mobs backs are turned
Hit one with sneak engaged = single pull
