Miscellaneous: Venril Sathir aoe tap

[Nirgon]

And riposte rate is tweakable I imagine?

This all started from noticing Overseer of Air appeared to be a MUCH harder opponent than Venril (even without rune) in my discussions with players/personal observation.

I can scale an npc's proc chance % from 0-100.

It [deadly lifetap] is currently at 36% on each swing for VS.

Fantastic.

I don't think the riposte rate needs to be changed -- Innate Procs just need to be able to fire on them.

You CAN attack VS from the front but one successful hit on a riposte is 1500hp for Venril. He will be tapping the tank as well if there is no Rune active.

As long as Venril's Sathir's Innate proc chance is like 90-95% on successful hits, he should be a beast and fuck up raids if no Rune is active on the Tank, raid attacking from the front, or ping ponging.

Yeah I'm sold on that, just generally curious [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Venril being just a slightly stronger version of Miragul days are OVER [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No rune up/positioned melee = get greased!

From my log of SK tanking Venril on live:

320 successful Crushes, 24 Bashes, 6 Kicks
166 Deadly Lifetap Procs.

166/350 * 100% = 47.429%

I can post the log if needed.

Sounds to me like its 50% chance on melee hit that manages to land (not blocked by a rune)!

One last question.. could it proc on a miss? If you riposte his attack, it obviously doesn't trigger so I'm pretty sure it won't.

Because I believe the rune will prevent the tap from occuring, but in the event of a miss does it say "hey he has a rune still" and not trigger?

Logic sounds like "if I actually remove hp from a player with a scored hit of any kind".

[pasi]

No procs on misses.

I don't think Venril Sathir kicks on P99, don't see a single instance of it in any of my logs.

[nilbog]

He doesn't kick because he's currently considered a shadowknight class.

Should be a warrior. So, should he harm touch ? Cause that's the only reason I see why he would be labeled sk.

[Nirgon]

What's his highest hit atm here? I'm looking at logs that show 330 so far

bashes and kicks top out at 92-102 so far too

Notice this line too, Nilbog, regarding Kanras's work on adding nearby players to threat list from that:

Everyone should be standing during the pull.

This really has nothing to do with our armor but Venril Sathir is a lev 55 WARRIOR not a necro. How do I know???? I was standing behind one of the developers at E3 when he was showing off. He did /who npc on Venril and it came up as 55 warrior.
