No encounter should place a random buff on anyone in the raid without a raid-wide emote. Mischief, Trak, AoWar...etc.

EQ2 fails at being intuitive with just about every encounter...the exception being Venril Sathir and a few others.

And for those saying "it puts a particle effect on you...."

Yeah, particle effects + craptastic engine that EQ2 is = lose! I have a very powerful machine so it isn't a real issue, but you cannot expect everyone to drop 500 bucks on a video card.

I have an nvidia geforce 8800 gts 640 mb, and I have an intel core2duo 2.4 ghz 6600......

And I get computer lag in raids unless i'm extreme performance...

Doesn't make any sense to me cause I can do pretty high when I'm not raiding, sometimes up to extreme quality.

well, first how much ram does your system have and have you updated your drivers? do you run vista or xp? if I remember right, soe was having some issues with the 8800 card, don't know if it has been fixed yet or not.

wrong thread guys, try the tech section down below

Back on topic, I have been looking through my parser at our Trakanon pulls and noticed Static Repulsion is showing up there. Since the player who gets Mark will always (unless they are killed prior to it going off) have Static Repulsion damage them, wouldn't this be an ideal way of tracking who screwed up when there are multiple people being hit by it at the same time, or is this simply wishful thinking?

Cracatoa

Nope...cause if they screwed up, Static Repulsion hit a lot more people than just themselves.

It would be a good way to track those that actualy pay attention and move away and tell the raid ect... but then again... seeing as they do... you sort of know already :P

I don't know that I'm cool with insta-kill lava. This mob has an obvious random DPS limiter that allows no reflection of skill on the player. I mean, fuck, there have been cases where counting, I have had a minute and a half of chain-procs of that PoS proc, while other times, I've had a 30 second period of nothing. It's no reflection on skill, just once again, the dev's favorite subject, random bullshit luck.

You still have enough time to kill the mob with 23 people before you hit the lava. So, honestly if you can't kill it before you go into the lava, your DPS is kind of crap.

QFE. If the Lava was working as an instant kill this mob would be where it should be difficulty wise imo.
