Time limit on killing a contested mob

zanderklocke · #1 02-15-2013, 08:48 PM

Recently, I've run into a situation twice in South Karana. I spawn and track Quillmane for people I sell cloaks to. When I do this, I kill a few placeholders and then track. I know Quillmane is a FTE mob since it cannot be camped unless you have someone sitting on each of the three possible spawn points. However, most people are pretty courteous and leave Quillmane alone when they realize someone in zone is spawning her.

Lately, I've run into a situation in which a low level ranger in his 20s, who I will leave unnamed, basically kites Quillmane around and kills slowly, basically hitting mob, snaring, and the medding to regen health again. Basically, it turns into an almost 20 minute kill process for this guy, which is about the amount of time it basically takes to spawn Quillmane. I'm wondering if there is a time limit on contested mobs? Can they be kited around and killed slowly over a period of 20 or more minutes?

I don't see why not as long as he has the potential to do it himself, and is not indefinitely kiting while waiting for others, which counts as stalling. Of course if it was me I would be kind enough to leave it alone if I knew someone else was there first and doing it.

If this was the case no bard swarm kiting would be allowed.As long as the person could kill said mob he should be allowed all the time in the world. I agree it is kind of frustrating I remember the days in OOT where bards would have all the seafuries running around dying slowly while none spawned.

don't give this idea back to the bards lol I haven't seen any there in ages.

Haha yeah. I never take more than 2 seafuries at once. A bard should be swapping back and forth charm to bring them down or be dotting one that is chasing him/her. Taking any more than 2 seafuries at once, unless accidentally aggroing more, is pretty rude in my opinion.

Basically it took a level 20 basically 20 minutes to kill a basically level 30 mob. Apparently all your basically belong to him. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Haha, I just noticed how much I used "basically" in my first post. At least I didn't have any typos.

I killed Quillmane for my cloak at level 18 by kiting him around and bellowing him down over 15 minutes. So long as your actively killing the mob i don't think there is a thing you can or should do about it it.

If you think that it was inevitable that he'd kill the mob, why not just help him kill it to speed things up?
