Design intent for mobs - some mob behaviors are very different from live

Hi all,

I noticed the serverupdate info today stating that several mob spells have been fixed. I know there are several mobs that have very different abilities Here vs on Live - is this something that will be addressed later?

imo frontier mob balance is pretty crucial to overall game balance as charm is affected.

Submit a bug report with evidence. Minstrel charm is custom here as they are the best solo class in the game if played right.

Solo is almost irrelevant to game balance. And maybe in theory, but in reality the ease of Skalds makes them the best performing and most populated class.

But that's not the entire point - underhill companion, fossil healer, some cab pets, all have slight to major differences in behavior

bump. this is a big balance issue.

If Focus Shield is being nerfed to be 1.65 live-like, I think pets should be 1.65 live-like as well.

If you think one or more mobs dont have the correct abilities, open a bug report and we will check.

Thank you. Understood. I think so far most of the tracker reports on mob behavior are open and being investigated, but one of them (here: https://tracker.playphoenix.online/issues/93462653-9437-4802-b6f5-701860a65c92) I got a response saying that mobs were custom.

So I was hoping for clarification there. This is a big issue imo because Minstrel (and Mentalist) pet damage is already scaled down at higher levels, on top of the other nerfs Minstrel charm has received.
