Jaled Dar's Shade weaker than he was in classic

[CrazyPro]

We killed Jaled Dar's Shade today and he didn't Dragon Roar or Mana Shroud at all like he does on live, and his max hit was 700 instead of 711. He only had around 1 million HP instead of the 3 million he has on live.

There's an Allakhazam post from 2004 that confirms this, which is very likely correct for the Velious era as there's very little chance he was ever changed between then and Velious: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...08371269094004

Spell-Immune
Quad 711.
Rampages roughly every round
AEs a 3 tick silence - easily resisted
AEs dragon roar - easily resisted
DTs every 30-45 seconds
Cleric mob so likes to nuke/blow mana making him a little easier.

In terms of difficulty you basically got a spell-immune Arch Lich who Death Touches.

He would also randomly do a zonewide shout with one of these messages

"Jaled Dar's Shade shouts, 'Somebody is there, I can tell! Listen to me! We were WRONG, he must be awakened!'"

"Jaled Dar's shade shouts, 'Release him......... release him.........release......ME!'"

"Jaled Dar's shade shouts, 'Zlandicar, I know you are here, you are always here! Do not ignore me, you must listen...we must talk!'"

"Jaled Dar's shade shouts, 'Trakanon, my friend, you BETRAYED me!'"

"Jaled Dar's shade shouts, 'Harla! Phara! It is cold here, and dark, so very dark.'"

He had a despawn/respawn cycle where he would randomly despawn and respawn every few days, which is missing on p99.

If you go and kill him on live, he has around 3 million HP, same on EQEmu and TAKP. The TAKP implementation of him is exactly what he should be like here: https://www.takproject.net/allaclone/npc.php?id=123011
