    * Lifetap messages are now filtered under spells.
    * Mem blur components of Mez spells will no longer always fail.
    Haynar
    * Move mob position update optimizations.
    * Pets guarding on a slope, should bounce less.
    * Fixed an issue with pets guarding, that was causing excessive position updates to be sent.
    * Pets guarding, should only change heading, if the new heading to nearest mob changes by more than an integer.
    * Fixed a mob position update issue, where locations can get out of sync, causing ghosting of mob locations.
    * Fixed an issue that causes elevated CPU usage when a zone initially starts up.
    * Tuned mob movement speeds more. They were moving a little too fast.
    * Consolidated the AI_Think Timer and AI_Movement Timers as they were somewhat redundant in how they actually behaved.
    * Overloaded the Timer::Check function to make it more efficient, even though it only saves a few CPU cycles. It is the most called function.
    * Simplified position update counters for clients and npcs. This should prevent sending extra updates for the entire zone periodically.
    Torven
    * The double attack and dual wield chance calculations are now precise.
    * Summoned pets now require level 17 to double attack.
    * Summoned pets now require level 19 to dual wield.
    * Summoned pet double attack and dual wield skills now capped at 200.
    * Summoned pet avoidance skills now capped at 100 for Classic and Kunark pets and 125 for PoP pets.
    * Beastlord pets granted the block skill, capped at 50 and parry skill removed. (overall avoidance will increase slightly due to block being such a better skill)
    * Triple attacks are now 10% chance on a successful double attack.
    * Non-pet NPCs are no longer affected by item haste.
    * Client procs are now handled before the weapon swing instead of after.
    * Clients no longer double attack in the off-hand if double attack skill is < 150.
    * Beastlord hand-to-hand damage and delay now use their own tables instead of using Monk tables. (Credit to Demonstar)
    * 'Your hands are now magic weapons' text added at level 30 for monks and beastlords.
    * Worn item effects now scale properly on summoned pets.
    * Archery rolling the crit multiplier twice is now fixed.
    * Fixed issue with special class attacks using mainhand offense/atk instead of skill offense.
    * Melee immunity logic changed to match our era.
    * Summoned pets now do the same minimum backstabs as other NPCs.
    * Innate dual wielding NPCs no longer equip 2h weapons.
    * NPCs should no longer desync their main-hand and off-hand attacks when the main-hand attack kills a target and both attack delays are the same.
    * Eagle Strike damage fixed.
    * Damage bonus removed from throwing attacks.
    * Cleric bash fixed.
    * Melee crit damage should now be precise. Cripples are extremely close but not quite 100%. Crits now properly do minimum damage.
    * Melee crit chance changed to more closely match old and modern EQ logs.

    Database
    Robregen

    * oot: Seafury Cyclops should no longer fall below world.
    * Blank Rune recipe should no longer fails.
    * Added various missing Fine Steel weapon > HQ ore recipes.
    Torven
    * templeveeshan: hatchlings now unmezable.
    * growthplane: immunities changed for many NPCs. More are immune to mez, less are immune to charm.

    Also, does this triple attack apply to PCs? This should result in quite a few less triple attacks, right?

    Sounds like it went busted for awhile.

    I don't recall anyone speaking of using /target as a zone-wide track tool on AK (and I don't think /pet attack Trakanon worked either).

    You can't even /target mob right infront of you in indoor zones.

    Mac? PC? Roamer? Static mob? After zoning in? A mob thats a respawn?

    Looking for more info.

    Can u target by clicking the mob?

    Using /target mobname, is handled by the client. But that doesnt mean a mob pos update is missing or something to make it work better.

    Don't worry. We nerfed just pallies, to discourage playing them.

    PC, tried roamers and statics. Zones tested inn is Kurn's Tower, Velketor and SolA.
    Can target by clicking.

    if you stand infront of "cinder goblin" in SolA and type /target cinder, nothing happens. It simply does not work. It works for PCs.

    I thought releasing Jeldorin was to discourage them.

    Crit chance will increase a tiny bit later. I still need to parse cripple rates to see if berserk warriors get an additional chance and by how much. Old crit rate was way too high, but not 3-5x higher. If you want crits, you will need dexterity for sure though.

    Synthetix, does it work if you attempt to /target a mob with a unique name? Zemm, for example?

    The way it's always been for me is that there's only one "an onyx sky drake" in the zone that can be targeted with /target. If that drake is out of range, standing next to another and typing /target will fail.
