Gathering Informations

[Pinco]

As some of you knows, I'm adding the missing buff/debuff icons to EC.
But to complete the task I need your help: unfortunately the latest monster abilities are a bit hard to test many times to gather data, so I need the help of the community in order to fullfil the task

For each one of the following ability I need to know:
1) time length
2) real effects
3) if something can reduce the effects

The abilities are:

- the dread horn ability : "A wave of hopelessness washes over you, suppressing your ability to react in combat." (DONE)
TIME LENGTH: 60 seconds
EFFECT: -20 all stats
REDUCTION: none (neither stone form can avoid it)

- the grizzle cacophonic scream : "A cacophonic sound lambastes you, suppressing your ability to move." (DONE)
TIME LENGTH: 30 seconds
EFFECT: slow movement speed, FC -5, FCR -5, SSI -60
REDUCTION: none

- melisande's puke : "Your enemy's putrid presence envelops you, overwhelming you with nausea." (DONE)
TIME LENGTH: 30 seconds
EFFECT: -60% SSI, -60% HCI, -60% DCI, -5 FC
REDUCTION: none

- medusa's stone : "You have been turned to stone!!!" (DONE)
TIME LENGTH: 7 seconds
EFFECT: freeze the target
REDUCTION: none

- web paralyze of navrey/mephitis: "You are wrapped in spider webbing and cannot move!" (DONE)
TIME LENGTH: 10 seconds
EFFECT: freeze the target
REDUCTION: none

- stygian dragon/slasher fear: (DONE)
TIME LENGTH: 11 seconds (0 res spell) - 2 seconds (120 res spell)
EFFECT: freeze the target
REDUCTION: resisting spells

- slasher falling walls : "The Slasher emits a powerful howl, shaking the very walls around you and suppressing your ability to move." (DONE)
TIME LENGTH: 11 seconds
EFFECT: freeze the target
REDUCTION: none

I hope someone can help

Thanks

Did you check UOGuide? I don't know the details on any of these, but if anyone knows, I'd imagine the information would be there.

Dreadhorn does -20 to each stat.
I dont fight grizzle because of the item damage, but on the ancient hellhounds cacophonic sound was -50ssi and -5fc .
Dont know about duration, because you have to live with the effect most of the time.

good, it's a first step...

Ok, I've gathered the data of medusa petrifying and the navrey/mephitis webs.

 

[Basara]

Note that the navrey webs can be sidestepped by being paralyzed from spellcasting when it hits you. It's one of the reasons why my tamer uses a macro that casts greater heal over and over on my GD when he's tanking on small or solo hunts (with no eval, it's not like I have anything better to do with my mana, other than bard specializations - if someone else is tanking, I'll use the provo specializations, and just tough out the webs).

this is a bug and I can't calculate it, since one day could be fixed

Oh, something that may help.

Remove Curse works on Dreadhorn's stat ability. I don't think it works on the others though?

no doesn't seems to work neither on dread horn ability, maybe you cast it exactly when it's over

 

[Ender]

They must have changed it in the last few months then? Used to work perfectly, every time. Maybe the chivalry tweaks changed it.

probably depends on chivalry level...

I have to thanks my bard to be so brave to challenge all this evil creatures alone to gather the data

Now only the Slasher remains.
Would be nice to know the time of the "panic" with 120 res spell in order to create a formula for the scale. Also would be nice to know the duration of the "rocks rain".

Work complete

Now after this great work, this info should be added in stratics and UO Guide before lose it forever...
