Charmed Mobs Summoning.

Post#1 » Sat Jun 26, 2010 5:02 am

This has become quite the problem lately now that I'm getting into using my Enchanter more.

Everytime he has a charmed pet that can summon (was using An Ancient Caretaker in ST) the charmed pet will summon my monk.. Constantly unless the charmed pet is in battle. Has caused me to wipe 4 times in about an hour tonight because he'll start summoning me.

Is there a way to fix this?

Yup -

bandaid fix - don't damage the pet too much (at all) you are going to summon.
Tyler fix - disable summon ability for this npc type
Zeiksz fix - disable the ability to summon while charmed (no idea if that's possible)
Item Change -> Reload needed
Spell Change -> Reload AND new Spellfile needed

Summoning is a pain in the rear anyway.

Wasnt it only put in to stop people ganking mobs from walls? Mobs being unable to climb walls is a real non issue with emu servers ;)

It's also done so you just dont root a mob and can "range" it to death with arrows or dots etc. Stop kiting of highlevel mobs etc.

Hmm with what I actually have no problem - if a class is able to root why she would not?
About disabling summoning while charmed - should be an easy fix. Will put it on my list.

the real problem that charmed mob retains his original hate list, and desperately trying to summon a person/bot/pet/etc with most hate on it. It also desperately trying to attack its master every 6 seconds

that what really needs to be addressed.

as far as mob with summon ability summoning other mobs he attacks- well thats a drawback using this mob for a pet - fully realistic imho :mrgreen:
thought i don't think every tiny creature should be able to summon.
you could also set the flags so that mobs with summon ability can't be charmed.

Is it possible to make a creature immune to being summoned?

The charmed pet summoning the mob it's attacking isn't as bad as the charmed pet summoning another person; usually the tank/puller.

This has become especially annoying when using my Monk to pull and the Enchanters dire charmed pet feels the need to constantly summon him before the mob even gets into camp.
