What are some good sources/references to submit as documentation for 1.65 state of the game?

As of now I've noticed a lot of mob behaviors being different from their live implementations (at 1.65 and beyond). Searching chat logs and screenshots with no luck so far.

Just as an example if I wanted to document frost stallion's behavior, would I go on live and take a vid of how they work? Likewise, Ellyl windchasers healed in 1.65 and for most of the game's history but on Phoenix they don't heal, and on live they were bugged with one of the recent patches and their healing spells do not activate (although they try and a message is printed in system).

Would player corroboration work as well?

ZAM and the Prima guides are both good sources:

If you spot errors, please file bug reports and add data of your findings:

If people reporting bugs we "believe are valid", we're looking for old information on the web (like the two mentioned sources) too.
However, always keep in mind that Phoenix is customized in many ways changed on purpose for a better overall experience.

Thank you. Mob behaviors are pretty difficult to get data on through guides, could we reference live for that? Most have been unchanged other than cyhraeths who got a casted nuke vs. an instant nuke and had their hps lowered.

It sounds to me like you just want to buff up some pets to make your minstrel stronger. I am not sure we need stronger minstrels.

They're not getting buffed, but their behavior would be getting fixed to match live 1.65 per the vision of the devs. This would affect Ments as well. I'm not sure Mid needs any more advantages.

But the vision of the Devs isn't to be a perfect match of 1.65. Thank the gods for that!

They said they built the game from scratch, so that explains the odd mob behaviors. These should hopefully be fixed.

Again, Midgard doesn't need any more advantages.
