How to attack a mob with ranged without them fighting back

[dude891]

I found this trick when I was fooling around with the mobs in the Ghostlands. I haven't found much use for this yet but this is how you can attack a mob without them fighting back. (This only works with ranged attacks)

1. If a mob is chasing you and there is water near by run into the part of the water that's deep enough so your character starts swimming.

2. Usually, the mob won't go any farther and will stay at the edge of the water and wait there.

3. Ok, usually if you attack a mob when you're in the water in will just evade. But if you wait until the mob starts returning to where it was before and you hit it while its running back, sometimes the spell will be successful and the mob will not evade it when you cast it in the water. This causes the mob to get hit, but it will not run up and attack you. Instead, it will just pretend like nothing happened.



I guess this might be useful if you want to cast a curse or something on a mob before you attack it but, the mob won't take any damage from the curse until you start fighting it again I think. Also, you can only cast one spell with this. If you cast anymore spells it will just evade. Sorry if this is a repost.

I've never had anything like this work. Almost all of the time when they turn around to reset their health resets making this pointless. It's not like mobs are hard to kill anyways.

It is sort of useless, but if you want to cast something like curse of weakness and then go in and attack and you're a noob it can be somewhat useful.

I used CoW once when I was a lock, after that I deemed it as a waste of mana.

So I guess you dont arena much ;-)

CoW on a pet/minion can be invaluable.


As for the exploit I will check it out but I dont really see a use for it.

Not really worth the time to do it, when its so easy to kill it anyways

I believe only demon and undead type mobs do not run through water, as an FYI.
