Ice Archons request 03/11/2014 08:01 PM CDT
Hey, I had a request with the new Ice Archon mobs on Wyvern Mountains.

Their stomp attack cannot be parried, but it can be blocked/evaded. Could they be changed to be parryable? It hurts very badly to be hit by it(~15% w/ a guaranteed bleeder), and currently no one can really train there.

I think that would change if this were changed, though. There are a ton of people in that general range and I'm sure it would be very popular for the high rank crowd if said change were made.

Thanks.

Absolutely agreed with Gorteous! This would be a great update. You should be able to knock it aside with a weapon just as easy as you do with a shield.

To clarify, that stomp is something that is preventing pretty much every person who wants to hunt there from being able to.

Raikage has informed me that they hardly drop any boxes at all, even though they are supposed to. Been here for half an hour and have seen one box so far. That's pretty low considering I've killed 50+.

A few changes have been made to the archons:

* The stomp can now be parried as well as shielded.
* The stomp attack actually works correctly now -- if the archon is not at melee with someone, it stomps on the ground, instead of stomping your face from missile range.
* The stomp attack is somewhat less mean now in general.
* Archons drop a good deal more boxes now.
* I'm fairly sure the formula to make these have really good eyesight made a number roll over to negative somewhere. These creatures should be much more perceptive now.

Any questions or comments, let me know. Thanks!
