Corruption - make actively engaged mobs immune to it

[Minerios]

Heya everybody,

Yesterday, I was fighting in South Badlands and had almost killed a mob when it was hit by a spectre of corruption. So, as a result, the almost-dead mob depopped, instantly replaced by a corrupted (and fully healthy) version. That was somewhat annoying, as I was low on both hp and mana at the time. I did kill it, but I can picture things turning out much worse!

So, if that's possible, I'd like to suggest to make actively engaged mobs immune to corruption. Not a big deal, I know, but still.

Those spectres die with like one hit man. If you see one coming, do your ranger-like duty and kill it...

Or move the mob

"If you see one coming"... Sure. But they are either invisible or something's screwy with my graphics.

They are humanoid shadows

Either way, you can see the names

That's weird, I don't see them at all. I distinctly remember killing a few a while back, and the only way I could find them was to track and wait till I saw the name floating by.

Though quite frankly, by the time you can see the name of a NPC, it's typically too late to move anyway. I maintain it's stupid to have the shadows instantly "heal" the mob you're fighting (though I know they don't heal, they simply replace the mob with a new, corrupted one).

The shadows aren't hard to miss. I dont see the problem with the OP's suggestion nor do I understand the shitty suggestions given to the OP so far.

Avoiding them is pretty shitty, I agree.

I agree. If Wiz wants it so it "heals" the mob then so be it. Otherwise its a valid suggestion and does not need to be treated as if it is not.
