Instance boosting nerf?

[myfingid]

Haven't tested this elsewhere but when I try to mass pull in SM Lib the mobs will go back to their spawn just like normal mobs.

Has pulling whole groups in instances been nerfed?

I did SM Cat today and it worked as it always have

[Multibocks]

I believe that in Library this has always been the case. In fact I remember hating it since I had to run around too much to pick up enough mobs to beat down.

I've been seeing for awhile, definitely in SM but possibly not only in SM. I found, not conclusively, that if I made sure to tap each mob as I rounded it up, it'd stick to me as expected. Though they don't necessarily leash if I *don't tap them, so there must be something else up.

Maybe the leash behavior hasn't changed, but these mobs are going into a brief Evade for some reason and then returning to their spawns? Who knows!

yea it always happens in library. but the other ones should be ok.

yea it always happens in library. but the other ones should be ok.I did WC and RFK last night. Mob reset very frequently comparing with pre-3.0.8. I believe that some undocumented mechanism changed ?(

[Combat Rock]

Same with Gnomeregan...

I thought only SM Cath didn't reset, you can go and attack the boss and bring the whole instance.

I noticed my level 80's didn't aggro much when I tried to do BM for a level 70, I imaging that SM would have them aggro even less.

I actually noticed this a few weeks before the last patch when I started boosting my Shaman. Had the problem in WC, some parts of RFK and SM:Lib. Haven't found a way to try pulling the whole Armoury or Cathedral without running out of HP's yet so I can't comment on them.

Library is always this way, you can still grab the boss + about 40 or so extra's stiill worth it. imo

[Caspian]

As previously stated Library is always this way. Cath I can still pull (after 3.0.8 ) upper and lower together as well as pulling those, bubbleing opening door and get the whole inside with no resets.

That said, occasionally (like maybe 5 times in the 150+ times I have done SM Cath) you can get to a weird spot that will cause some mobs to reset. SFk will do this too, normally no resets every once in while something will happen and they will.


I also heard that Onxyia Deap Breaths more since the last patch. Has anyone else seen this too?

I recently did WC and SM Cath and they were both fine. I've had this trouble with the caves portion of WC plenty in the past and chalked it up to crazy topography (there also seems to be a lot of critters in the floors/walls in WC). This time it actually seemed a lot better to me. But in fairness, I was having a hard time picking up Cath at all since they changed rank 1 spells to cost more mana than my highest rank. I used to Rank 1 AE everywhere and now I have to body pull.

Dam, Valorin, nice choice for the three brothers! I went with the Office Space theme to reflect the treants (from my old blog) but I'm a bit jealous of your use of Slapshot!

Did some boosting this weekend in SM. Library was a huge pain in the ass as the mobs would reset frequently, so I had to basically do every section at a time!

It was a relief when I got to armory and cathedral, as those only had only 2 or 3 mobs that would reset (always casters).

[Owltoid]

I planned on taking my lowbies into Cathedral tonight... can you enter it at level 25?

[Maxion]

You can enter any wing of SM at lvl 20.

[Owltoid]

You can enter any wing of SM at lvl 20.

Damn, WoW wiki really needs to be updated! Thanks!

Has the right values. The first paragraph in the SM page says 25 though.

[elsegundo]

from memory:

WC reset point is on the left side of the caves. when going up past the snakes, if you jump down the ledge to the bottom, everyone resets. it doesnt reset on the right hand wing (with the plants and flying serpents). so you can pull there, jump down, heal, and wait for the guys to come running after you.

in SFK, if you jump off the wall into the courtyard, things will reset. do not jump off the wall.

in SM Lib, mages and others will reset if you run too far. its annoying, but thats just how it is.

i've never had anyone reset on me in RFC though.
