- Lure: visible to target bug fixed.
- bind: increase thief bind max to 370f maxhp
- Some mobs mana adjusted to fit skill and level.
Nov 25, 2011
- Multiple bug fix and balance update release:
- Lure bug: could lure if invis but not hidden,
fixed so it is simply based on if victim can see
lurer regardless of visible status.
- Lure bug: lure not working in combat per help fixed.
- Mana drain armor proc fix: was not factoring in
attacker mana in drain, allowing low level mobs
to create effectively infinite mana. Fixed so
that proc can only drain mana that the attacker
actually has, and when drained the mana is taken
from attacker.
- Dispositions fix: some casting disposition
mobs were either not performing disposition
skills at all or acting far too infrequently.
- Bind adjustment: Thief offensive abilities
combined with binding to 500f max hps was
a little too great, reduced to a still very
powerful 330f max hps, ranger remains 50
- Minor bind bug fixed: bind was not applying
correct randomized 1/2 round delay to ranger
and thief bind users, only other bind users.
Nov 17, 2011

Archipelago mobs have been given sight fitting
