Been parsing more NPCs to fill out my spreadsheet and I noticed something odd. It appears that rampage can reset the bash timer on live too, however it doesn't always do so, even from the same NPC. (it was a different spawn however) I have parses of Rydda`Dar with reset bash timers and others with it not reseting the timer. Rampage has some strange logic.
Incidentally I've noticed that some rampage NPCs can and do switch rampage targets. It's commonly assumed that rampage never changes target, but on some NPCs it does every so often, like Derakor the Vindicator. It's worth noting that a merc was the 'main' ramp tank however. (but it never lost aggro) Generally he would only switch ramp targets for a brief time, then go back to the first one for an extended length of time.
Also, NPCs can have more than one special attack (Ramp, Wild Ramp, Flurry). Mith Marr does all three for example, with decreasing frequency. However I've only ever seen one per round. Does the EQ Emu code prevent multiple special attacks of different types in the same round?
And one last note: Cleric and Shaman NPCs will also bash.
