Mob difficulty isnt scaling with character

The exact line you want to look at in the attack.cpp is 1866. This is under the void npc::attack. The void mod::meleemitigation does nothing to actually mitigate dmg being done. If you want to test this out like we did. Change the min and max to static numbers for all mobs and youll see just that.

Thank you. I will.

I recently revised this code a bit if anyone is interested I thought i would share.

if(RuleB(Combat, UseIntervalAC)) {
			damage = ((max_dmg+eleBane);
		}
		else {
			damage = MakeRandomInt((min_dmg+eleBane) - (otherac * acdiv/100.0f),(max_dmg+eleBane) - (otherac * acdiv/100.0f));
		}		

		//check if we're hitting above our max or below it.
		if((min_dmg+eleBane) != 0 && damage < (min_dmg+eleBane)) {
			mlog(COMBAT__DAMAGE, "Damage (%d) is below min (%d). Setting to min.", damage, (min_dmg+eleBane));
			damage = ((min_dmg+eleBane) - (otherac * acdiv/100.0f));
		}
		if((max_dmg+eleBane) != 0 && damage > (max_dmg+eleBane)) {
			mlog(COMBAT__DAMAGE, "Damage (%d) is above max (%d). Setting to max.", damage, (max_dmg+eleBane));
			damage = (max_dmg+eleBane);
		}

NOTE: This code makes it so that if a mob rolls max hit it would land and anything below max hit would be mitigated. Now for raid targets since they are multiple levels
above the tank they would hit for max like normal keeping the dmg high and the encounters hard. But for none raid targets as long as they arent red it would allow
ac to do what it needs to do to.

What this does is take a % of your ac and reduces each hit by that percent. So if you have it set at 2 it would be dmg = max dmg - the persons ac who is being hit * 2/100

or for example

dmg=20-100*2/100
dmg=20-200/100
dmg=20-2
dmg=18

Some interesting points on AC from a Sony dev in this post http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/sho...624#post229624

I realise it doesn't cover all of the different checks in combat, but I though it pertinent to this discussion.

Yes, that is good information. Thank you.
