Greetings


Had our 8th BEAST meeting for the first time in our city hall. It was once again started with some ch trivia that has worked really well in keeping everyone entertained while new members from other servers arrive and old ones log on.


The meeting started with an anouncement of the creation of BEAST on naritusand kettemoor and addressed any membership issues by having volunteers creating characters on other servers. For Naritus I have dropped the guild hall so other members have all there lots to work with and did the same for Indene on Kettemoor.


Then I revealed my results from testing pets against the new disease buffs.Here is what was posted by devs in pub 9.3



  • Poisons and diseases no longer automatically hit, but now have a chance to hit based on their potency. Most current poisons & diseases will affect the target a similar amount of time. The resistance effectiveness of the Poison Resist & Disease Resist Buffs will reduce the chance of being affected by a poison or disease. There will always be a 5% chance of being affected and a 5% chance of resisting no matter how high the resistance or potency ratings get.

  • Added new Doctor Disease & Poison Resistance Buffs.


    I saw this and wondered if pets were effected by this update and created this study to find out. First I tested the above point where regardless of buffs the disease strike is supposed to hit based on potency. I found a willing volunteer in BEAST who was willing to endure the plague strike disease of Screechers and Bull Rancor and also the mild disease of the Merek Deaths'head.


    Here is the results:


    Screecher on first duel hit within 3 special attack commands. The hit started with 171 tick and went up with =17 increments ending with 271 on the last tick. Disease lasted 8 minutes


    Bull Rancor was next and hit with 2 special attack commands starting at 291 and climbing allthe way to 406 per tick before disipating. Disease lasted 8 minutes


    I dueled with screecher again because wasnt satisifed with the potency of the first disease strike and hit again within 3 tries. Hit starting at 423 and ticked for 3 times climbing all the way to 474. Lasted only 3 minutes


    I wanted to use a pet that both poisoned and use disease so used deaths'head and within 3 times for disease and 5 times for poison hit with both. The disease is very low on the deaths'head but the doc sent me a tell 2 hours later and it was still there lol. it was hitting at 11 each tick.


    I was very satisfied after the first test that because the potency of the creatures is 100% they are very likely to hit their target and in all tests saw no difficulty for pet to use their disease special.


    Now for the second test which was to find a doctor who had made the new disease buff packs. I focused on disease because my jedi uses a screecher in combat with bounty hunters and was most concerned with how the disease would be effected by these buffs.


    Here is the power of the buff: 200 and was a B pack.


    I pulled out my screecher and dueled the doctor and with 3 hits diseased the doctor. It hit for 179 each tick and lasted 8 minutes


    I pulled out my Bull Rancor and he hit on the first try.The tick hit for 203 and went up to 270 before disipating after 8 minutes.


    All the buff did was take away about half the dmg of the disease hit per tick and keep in mind I only hit the subject once with disease. The plague strike pets can hit any category and can disease more and more.


    Then we discussed some rare creatures starting with pet tames


    Dorran- Screecher/prowling gurrek


    Gray'ce- Swamp Stalker


    Tthen discussed issues with rare creature spawns:


    Frenzied grauls are not spawning


    Issues with Bull Rancor spawns and how ch need to take lvl 69 or higher to get a bull


    Great Plains Stalkerhunting questiions


    Also had a hunt with a neighboring guild GOL where went nightsister hunting. Was a lot of fun and got a crystal for a jedi. Will look forward to all future hunts with them

    Sounds like some fun. Tivo asked me if I wanted to start up BEAST on Intrepid, but I am just not the organizer/leader type. Hope you guys find someone on Intrepid for that soon...

    You had a non-area disease pet work on command? Has this been fixed!?

    If you were referring to the deaths'head it did respond to special attack command for poison and disease. The specials did hit but due to their potency would not recommend using for pvp.

    you dont have to have an "uber" or main character on radiant, thats just where we have decided to have our meetings take place. most players just have a character there to log in and attend the meeting, tho there are a few who have started characters there. so if you are still interested, make a toon and come to our next meeting (every sunday, not sure the time tho. ask milteck)


    oh, and i apologize for not being able to attend. ended up getting called into work. sounds like you guys had some fun tho

    Our next meeting will be on Sunday at 1pm pt on the radiant galaxy. The location is atGalactica city on lok inside our city hall. Many members of our guild have created characters on radiant to attend our meetings and you are not required to grind your characters as you are already master ch or pay maintenance on your homes.

    I've been trying to get members for Valcyn since I joined BEAST...I already have a guildhall, just need people on Valcyn to show interest! Your Radiant toon would only be for meetings, they'd never have to leave the guildhall. If you know other CH's on Valcyn who would be willing to join a Valcyn chapter of BEAST please let me know!
