Helel 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 Hello all. From all of the testing that I've done on the server thus far, from what I can tell, mobs that have an ability akin to the Rogue's Backstab ability will spam it on you, regardless of which way your character is facing. While this seems like a minor issue, it extends to the raiding scene too, and will now make certain mobs and bosses (I can think of several in ZG for instance) far more difficult than they were ever intended to be. Please fix this! TL;DR - Mobs backstab from the front. That's bad. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blastermaster8 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 This is not a latency issue, it is a recurring bug on many vanilla private servers. Another example of this happening is the vultures in shimmering flats, they can use Execute on you repeatedly, no matter what HP % you sit at. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharatar 1 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 tbh those mobs use a spell called "backstab" but I don't think there was ever a positional requirement for the NPCs I never remember them running behind me lol. Maybe it needs a larger cooldown but it wasn't until BC with the "Shadowstepping" mobs still they actually "Back"stabbed you. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helel 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) This was NEVER the case in Vanilla. Mobs still had positional detection and backstabbing mobs were meant to use the ability when you were running away, overwhelmed and couldn't find a proper position, or were snuck up on. The Panther boss in ZG is a perfect example of this - only tanks really know how hard she was hitting back on Nostalrius versus Kronos II, where backstabbing was implemented properly.

This makes sense I stand corrected. But yeah the Shadowstepping mobs in BC were the first ones that actively used that spell to jump behind and ambush. Good thing I'm actually Chuck Norris, I don't run away and I don't get snuck up on. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
