Greater cecuvians and root

Thinkmeats said:
I've seen this happen myself. Basically, any mob with counterspell or reflect will occasionally just eat spells. I'm not sure why it happens, but it's been doing it for a while (since undercaverns), and seems to do it to lower-mana spells more frequently. I suspect it might have something to do with the "I don't like to spend my counter/reflect on a low-mana spell" code, but that's just a hunch.

You are completely right, and I just fixed this bug.

These mobs also iirc dont offer any xp above and beyond much MUCH easier hunting spots so if reflect stays (most likely) you may be best served by relocating. Which is a shame really cause warpstone is such a cool zone imo and not many people go to the area you mean for more then a few kills.

This isn't completely true, considering how frequently the greater cecuvians drop wings compared to their lesser variety.

Wow thanks a lot! And thanks for the fast answer to the problem.

To answer Slippers post, I know those wings are quested, but slaughtering the greenies+ 5 blue isn't what I really am looking for.
Not to forget that there are some places that also give way more interesting quests exp wise ( Liodreth warder paws, lion skins, the quests outside Miel are all from easier mobs and give as much exp).
If I go there it's for fun, even if I know I can have a lil plus with the wings.

Anyways, I'll try it again asap, wich is not before tuesday of thursday.

I am using the highest level root I have, wich is Enstill (60 mana). Otherwise, I have the basic root that I got at lvl 14 (40 mana). I'll try it it.
I can also try after the counterspell, but I doubt I will live through, as I am usually pounded on as soon as I cast. "Reflecatble" spells take a lot of time to cast ( not to forget that I weaken myself with a dot, a nuke or something of the kind), then I need to wait for the gems to refresh, and then I would be able to cast root for a try... All of that if I am not interrupted. And all of that at least twice.
Mage thinking ;).
Sadly, I am a Shm+War combo. No DS, and just a couple of HP buffs ( nothing horrible, but nothing too huge).

Would it be hard to exclude root spells from the code on this?
It wouldn't be overpowered, since you would encounter the risk of having root reflected on you. And beeing rooted is probably one of the worst things for a caster/crowd control...

PS: Syalara posted while I was typing this. Maybe I should try my poison PBOAE to "pop" the reflect slot from my 3 friends.

Well what level, come and get a mage ds if im on. 45 and above, i guarantee you'll tear them up. However I would be ready for some disappointment when you get to the end of that zone. Great crafter's loots suck even for that level.
 
Well sadly it is still bugged :what:

Here's a picture of the thing, if that helps:


As you can see with the interrupts, there should be a message after each cast. Either a root, either a resist, either a reflect ( reflect works on root now that's for sure, since I rooted myself once in the fight), either an interrupt...

Would that be linked to the root I am using then? But I am not too hot to go try again :).

Note that my druid groupmate could root them NP. Go figure... :psyduck:
