Essence of the Dragon AA: This passive ability grants you immunity to Gust of Atrebe and Aura of the Kar'Zok. That is all well & good, however it does absolutely nothing for static pets. I can see the desire to let it hit mercs, since the group use of this ability is minimal at best, i.e. you learn not to touch them if you don't actually need to. However, the static pet chain dying is quite a different story, regardless of healer (real or merc) the pet just gets destroyed over and over, which makes them almost worthless on the raid & group. Any chance of getting the static pet only added to the beneficial part of this ability? I could care less about swarm pets, but spending time/mana on trying to keep a generally beefy pet alive seems utterly wasteful.
Absor was informed about this in beta. Apparently that shouldn't be happening but it does lol. Was never told about a fix, but the devs know about it...
Both of those spells are set to only hit players. It should be impossible for them to land on pets. I'll look into it and see if I can find anything that might explain it, but right now I'm at a loss. A
Looking at eqresource's raw spell page, neither spell has their Target Restriction filled out. Unless those Target Types aren't suppose to hit pets, it looks like the restriction is missing?
I guess I'll have to update my python script since I don't think any site shows it, but is it the PCNPC_ONLY_FLAG?
Dzarn found the issue with it landing on players it should not. The AA was/is broken for warriors, monks, rogues, and bards because EQ. I'm still trying to figure out why Aura of the Kar'Zok is landing on pets. All logic says it should not. A
Well that's new. I'm used to seeing "If bard, do weird stuff," but I'm not used to seeing pure melee minus zerkers.
I may have fixed the issue with Aura of the Kar'Zok landing on pets. Another because EQ thing, where if you tell it to only cast on things on your hate list, it will always cast on all the things on your hate list, no matter what the restriction is. Changed it to just cast as an AoE and it seems to work.
To clarify, if player has Essence of the Dragon immunity, then player's pet will also be immune? Also, will player's mercenaries inherit the immunity as well? As is, Kar'Zok is a deathtouch for mercenaries, making them useless in the zone.
No, it just won't hit pets or mercs. I don't have an easy way to check the pet's owners for things like that. And, frankly, it's just better not to hit them at all. A
