Hightlight: Cazic Thule is now live. credit to Torven Code: Haynar * NPCs that are rooted, should face their top hated target when no one is in combat range. * Changed the defaults for adjusting best z, when mobs are in water. The default setting now checks if the mob is in water, and only adjust their z to the ground if they not in water. This should prevent cases where mobs seem to always be on the bottom. * When someone is charmed, it was removing that entity from only npc hate lists. If a player is charmed, they will also have a hate list. So now a charmed entity will be removed from all hate lists. This helps prevent two charmed players from fighting each other. * Fixed an issue where some spells, will not land when the player has all buff slots filled. Some spells like Antidote were incorrectly being identified as having an associated buff. They should now land correctly, whether buff slots are full or not. Database: Robregen * East Karana: change weak poison to strong poison to crag spiders. * qeynos catacomb: an undead knight should no longer be kos.
Blood of Thule spell seems to be cast very frequently, I'm chain curing and I can't cure fast enough. I easily 4-6 boxed the archon pyramid (area 2 on eqatlas) on EQmac by myself with shitty gear. Here I couldn't even get past the entrance stairs with two RL people in a full grp in VT geared chars. Something doesn't feel right.
I can sell you some shitty gear if you need help recreating the initial conditions on your science experiment
interesting -- "Blood of Thule" didn't even exist when CT was released. Hopefully there are some logs of it that can be analyzed

Also the way their AI worked iirc, was how mobs use turgurs etc., they would cast it on every person individually until each person on agro was slowed. Then you'd just keep curing. I remember the POH shield was a must have for my monk in that area.
Sorry, "Bane of Thule" was the spell. I'm just saying it feels a bit crazy, but maybe just something I forgot about. Found some older logs and they do recast it often - so I guess just learn2play and get moredpz. Or maybe a few too many mob types have the AE as a proc so it feels like it's cast more often? In the old logs, I could only see Zealots and Fanatics casting this spell. ~~OldLogz~~ [Sun Aug 04 19:24:22 2013] a Thul Tae Ew zealot begins to cast a spell.

The shamans cast it: [Sat Apr 27 21:37:10 2013] a Tae Ew proselyte begins to cast a spell. [Sat Apr 27 21:37:10 2013] Tassive is slowed by the Bane of Thule On AK, were you level 65 when you did the pyramid? Did you have MGBs etc? Note that I got most min/max damage hits from AK logs. Other stats were parsed from Live, but virtually all min/max hits matched, and also the resists I could check matched, so it's likely the same. ATK/offense of the NPCs were typical, but the lizards did have some elevated AC. I would also say that the difficulty level of moving through the zone could end up rather random due to which type of mobs spawn. If shamans spawn, then they'll be hasted and Bane you. Also the pyramid perimeter has a lot of patrollers. Once you get inside it's easy. If you lack sustained DPS the respawns will be hard to deal with.
Level 65 would have helped back in the day. The initial break in is tough for sure, and I think last night's foray was just a bit more brutal than expected. I told our monk to go pull carefully, and he came back with 8 hasted sowed mobs. After rezzing up we tried breaking in again, and couldn't move past the stairs. Monk had to /q out three times trying to not train us, and when we did fight mobs the DPS sucked due to constant AE slows, then we got repops and more trains, then just gave up and decided to come here and cry about it.
The slow doesn't seem to last long at least. The fire AOE I ran into was surprisingly strong but I have no experience with the zone before now. I'm having fun exploring, thanks guys.
