seems like that ability to bind inside didnt exist or people would be doing that to skip Sont and mentioning it as a tip

All other stuff aside, I have a really hard time believing any cleric could manage to bind themselves as Sontalak was hitting them.

But just to play Devil's advocate I would say binding outside would be superior to binding inside on live EQ. The biggest reason being if you aren't factioned for CoV being bound at the entrance is a huge trap, you're locked in, and you aren't getting out with out significant effort, and even if you are factioned it means you have to run 3 extra minutes to get out as opposed to just being able to gate outside.

Overall I'd say you probably couldn't bind in ToV on live based off some posts here though.

In Kunark and Velious, however, they are only able to bind themselves in outdoor areas, and can not bind themselves in dungeons.

Nailed it. Seems pretty conclusive to me.

[Treats]

Not sure how this made it in, I even bound a few of my characters behind Sontalak at statues a week or so into Velious release.

Also I do not understand how pulling shit all over the place is occurring, you should be wrecked by assist radius and EVERYTHING should assist no matter what faction in ToV.

[Man0warr]

It does assist. The challenge is separating the boss from the trash without having the trash come back to the raid after.

You already cannot bind in Crystal Caverns, although LATER once the factions are added (if not already?) for Frostone, you SHOULD be able to bind in the little outpost down there.

Bump.

Tower of Frozen Shadows
Dragon Necropolis
Temple of Veeshan
Siren's Grotto
Sleeper's Tomb

Should all not allow anyone to bind in the zone at any point during Velious.

[Nirgon]

Coulda sworn I bound myself in Velks during live Velious

[Daldaen]

Evidence? If you have some please post it.

Classic bind guide and Bind Affinity descriptions says no indoor dungeons, ToFS/CC explicitly are stated as no binding in several posts, ToV/DN/SG/Velks suggest all binding outside with no suggestion binding inside is possible. All of these zones on live currently don't allow binding.

Druid's Grove post where 2001 Velious era commentors saying they were bound in PoM and one of them commenting that Xegony had 15 rogues bound in PoM.

Are we disputing being able to bind in PoM or using it as evidence you couldn't bind in ToV? I lost track. Totally classic though.
