      I found out why things were much harder for us last night dwarf, i normally click off the damage shield buff when we Rolandite so that i can fit all the buffs i want on Saravok. However my Ward of Bedazzelment, defensive proc that mez’s target that hits me, proc’s quite frequently and it wasn’t last night … which may explain a lot of my deaths. What i discovered is (after skimming logs in a more controlled manner this morning) the damage shield is waking the mob up after it has proc’d. The damage shield is immediately waking up the mob.

      After a few tests this morning i was able to confirm.

            Timing of the effects from getting hit I would expect.

            Mob hits you and the server processes all the reactions in order. What order I don’t know.

            But if the mez proc is processed first, that could easily explain it. Because then The server continues down the logic loop and finds the damage shield and applies that.

            Would have to read source code to know how things are applied in what order.

              I think your right Dwarf, pound for pound, those Discordlings make the best pets, i think its the stun they do.

                having been on the receiving end one too many times, i agree 😉
                stun + decent damage output with a fair bag o’ HP = one tough lil’ badass

                had my AA’s bug out last night after the game… gonna log in and fiddle a reset or 12 to see if i can replicate it for cloud to nail down

                  Interesting read, sounds like the spells are in the database, but haven’t been added to the merchant inventory. After reading a different howto discussion (different link), it didn’t sound like it was going to be trivial

                      Ok I’m a bit perplexed, i’ve tried my AA ability - Self Stasis

                      When i use it i get this message -

                      Screen Shot 2021-08-22 at 10.34.58 AM.png

                      Its suppose to be target self, not sure if it’s in the database wrong or not. When i tested it i did have myself target’ed but i don’t think that would have mattered.

                        Nothing past 70 is tested working 100%

                        But most things like AA and spells should just work because of how they are simply driven by db entries after the initial creation of the code to handle the AA. This looks like an AA with no prior or similar version. So it is possible it will need server code also.

                          That’s a pre-70 AA ability

                            Ah, didn’t look that close. ok well it is something I can look into later

                            edit: It is from the Seeds of Destruction expansion. So likely it does need server code to implement.

                              whilst you’re lookin 'round, Improved Familiar is throwing up an error too - the effect goes off, the buff shows up - but no model i’m guessing ? nothing shows up…

                              Unable to find data for pet Familiar8

                                Looks like I’ll be hitting Dwarf’s shop about 8:15 or so.

                                  Well i have had a chance to put the new 71-80 spells thru the paces. For the most part it all impressively works, and works well. The only two obvious areas that throw an error are:

                                  Auras - any aura level 71 and above (i tried all of them)
                                  Message Given for “Mana Resurgence Aura Rk. III” -
                                  “Unable to find data for aura Mana Resurgence Aura Rk. III”

                                  Enchanter Pet Animations - anything 71 and above; Ellowind’s Animation (71), Erradien’s Animation (76)
                                  Message Given for “Erradien’s Animation Rk. III” -
                                  “Unable to find data for pet Animate17_Rk3”

                                  Smells like missing database entries.

                                    Looks like there is some momentum on Dragons of Norrath-

                                      Potentially, I have mercy enabled. I don’t know if it worked, because EQ launches and immediately crashes on my desktop at home.

                                      Would not recommend trying it level 70+ first.
