Should same mobs be able to both kick and bash?

showstring · Jul 12, 2022

I noticed that same mob can both kick and bash me.

[Tue Jul 12 23:07:11 2022] A soldier of fire bashes YOU for 147 points of damage.
[Tue Jul 12 23:07:19 2022] A soldier of fire kicks YOU for 151 points of damage.

Is this right?
Aren't these abilities on same cooldown? That is, should a mob pick one to use and not both?

Just curious on the mechanics, I don't have proof or logs either way.

Thank you

Torven had this to say in the past:

NPC Attack Rates Explained - EQEmulator Forums

Bash and Kick Rates

NPCs have a bash delay that is separate from the attack delay. When that timer is up, they will either kick or bash choosing one with some unknown logic. The important item of note here is that this timer is ALWAYS 8 seconds unslowed/unhasted. Changing the NPC's attack delay will not alter the bash delay on EQLive, but it currently does in EQ Emulator: if you give an NPC a -50% attack rate in the editor, it will bash twice as fast. This is a problem because the default attack delay on EQ Emulator is so high that making NPCs with correct attack delays will make them bash/kick far too often. The fix is, of course, to ignore the attack rate modifier for bashes.
