Unslowable Mobs *vindi, Named giants PoS, etc*

[EZ_Wickd]

Someone told me that poison works to slow those mobs that are unslowable by enchanters and shamans.

is there any proof of this ? or simply wishful thinking.

Thanks in advance for your responses

I believe that they used to be slowable by poisons because they were set to be 'magic immune' mobs, which means that disease/cold/fire/poison based slows could affect them.

I believe most of them have been fixed so that they are immune to all slow effects, but you can try and let us know your results. Baroness Delissandra Splitshadow - Half-Elven Assassin - "Far Seekers" - The Rathe

Years ago, when "unslowable" meant "extremely high magic resist", then we could often slip in a poison-based slow.

Now that mobs are actually flagged unslowable it doesn't matter what kind of spell is being applied to them. Plus there are shaman DR-based slows for those handful of old mobs where it might actually be useful (epic stuff, mostly).

The message will tell you. I hit a Dark Assassin in UP yesterday with a spine break and the game displayed a red message informing me that the mob was immune to speed changing effects. Mtrix Shiskebab

Most mobs that are magic immune but not slow immune can be slowed by shaman. Castina uth`Matar 60th Assassin Clan Ta Veren

Most ubers we also cannot slow because they are immune to snare. And if a mob is immune to snare, our slow will not stick. [65 Deciever] Lozoria <Paradigm> Solusek Ro

Aye I can remember slowing Vindi with a poison when they said he was unslowable. He seemed to be immune to disease and magic based slows but not to poison. However not many rogues had a very high Apply Poison skill so their poison got resisted as well.

I have not fought him since the big changes in resists and such though, so I can't verify that he IS or IS NOT immune to changes in attack speed or if he is still able to be slowed by a rogue with high enough Apply Poison.

I was at 190 apply poison and used Stiffening Ergot ( paralyze III )

Some named giants in PoS ARE IMMUNE to changes in attack speed, be it magic or disease or poison based. I'm not sure if they all are but the ones I have tried to slow so far have been.

I have never heard anyone make the claim that "apply poison" had anything to do with resist rates. I doubt very much that it has any bearing on resists at all.
