Game Mechanics: Player's bashes are not interrupting mob spells.

Yes that's true.

[Haynar]

Some mobs mana pools are too big. And some have too high mana regen rate.

When those are adjusted, typical CH mobs should only CH 2 or 3 times, unless they are raid mobs. Raid mobs will CH a few more times.

Draining mana should work, when regen rates are reduced.

And some mobs don't have any mana to drain, but can still CH.

Can anyone explain what haynar means by "when regen rates are reduced."?
Are mobs mana regen higher than classic at the moment?
Is there a way to reduce mana regen on mobs?

@haynar:
So you confirm that this bash work as intended, it's merely a cosmetic fix that won't ever have any use in raid, correct?

It's just a setting on the npc database table for any given npc. They would need to be dialed down. Not sure if p99 is different, but most eqemu table structures have it this way.

I'm more surprised that p99, given how long it's been running, still has problems with this.

We are looking into an issue right now where some mobs have a mana regen rate set too high, which could cause them to regain enough mana in a single tick to immediately cast gate.

Monster mana regen rates are totally irrelevant to the question of whether bash is able to interrupt spells. A low chance is not the same thing as zero chance. Has anyone had a bash WORK yet on a 55+ creature? Also, some people seem to forget that there is more in the game than just raiding. There are non-raid level 55+ spellcasting monsters that fall within the scope of this discussion.

So can a gm confirm whether this work as intended? It's pretty much useless atm, is it intended?
