PVM Skill Mechanics Update Part 2

In 2014, a change to mob configuration was added following official updates, where monsters may consider themselves as "friend"/"ally", and therefore can target themselves when their skills list those as targets.

This changed several monsters' behavior, such as Geographers being able to heal themselves, and Ghost Incarnations casting assumptio on themselves.

However, as mentioned just now, this update was following officials, which at the time was quite a few years into renewal, and limits the little freedom and variety heRO has in making mobs, in addition to severely hindering Geographer leveling, DG ghost farming, etc.

This change has been reverted to its original version, monsters with skills targeting friend/ally will not target themselves. Below you can find a list of mobs affected by this change, plus changes to them in the case of custom monsters, if applicable.


The following mobs will no longer cast these skills on themselves.


• Rata - Heal
• Aqua Elemental - Heal
• Duneyrr - Heal
• Draco - Recovery
• Phylla - Assumptio
• Dark Pinguicula - Heal, Recovery
• Ancient Tree - Assumptio, Recovery
• Rhyncho - Increase Agility, Assumtio
• Hanz Von Abendroth's Servants - Heal
• Ghost Incarnation of Morroc - Assumptio
• Miming - Impositio Manus
• Aquaring - Pot Pitcher
• Eimyrja - Recovery
• Fallen Druid - Recovery
• Dryad - Heal
• Geographer - Heal
• Chepet - Recovery
• Lady Tanee - Potion Pitcher
• Aliza - Heal
• Valkyrie (Miniboss) - Heal
• Muscipular - Heal
• Mavka - Heal
  
  These mobs no longer cast the listed skills on themselves, but still had a self-targeting version of it, therefore maintaining a similar behavior.
  
  
• Cornus keeps its regular self-heal with a 20s delay instead of a self-friendly heal with 10s delay
• Aqua Elemental blesses itself below 50% HP instead of a self-friendly blessing below 90% HP
• Ancient Tree keeps its regular 0s cast time self-heal every 2 seconds
• Queen Scaraba still targets itself with heals while below 30% HP, instead of a self-friendly heal below 50% HP.
• Autumn Leafcat only self-heals at 30% HP as usual
• Pandaring continues heals itself below 60% HP
• TOH Bacsojin still self-heals when below 80% HP

• Angeling, Chepet, Permeter, Errende, Wicked Nymph still heals itself when below 30% HP, instead of its self-friendly heal below 60% HP.
• Margaretha Sorin no longer casts assumptio on itself when its HP is below 100%, but continues to do so when below 90% HP.
• Ghost Incarnation of Morroc does not heal itself just below 99% HP, but will continue to do so when below 70% HP while attacking or below 45% HP while idle.
• Thorn of Recovery no longer heals itself just below 99% HP, but will continue to do so at 70% HP while idle.
  
  These mobs have been updated to compensate for the changes.
  
  
• Anastasia does not cast heal or impositio on itself as a friend anymore, but now heals itself when below 75% HP, essentially maintaining its original behavior.
• Kalpea Henki only used recovery on friends affected by certain statuses, but will now cast on itself as well, essentially maintaining its original behavior.
