Talk:Serket

I don't think it's accurate to say that specific ws "can be spammed"; as I understand it, all mobs spam ws below 20-25% HP because they start using them at 100% TP instead of 300% (they gain TP much faster than we do). There are a few NMs that really do use ws one after another at low life without regard to TP, but I don't think Serket is one of them. Ultima and Omega from Promathia Mission 6-4 are the only ones that come to mind at the moment. --Valyana 14:52, 10 Jan 2006 (PST)

So: Serket does not prefer one attack over another each time it hits 100 TP? Does it use them all in its "standard" preference, but at a higher rate?

You're not exactly making this clear to me.

Also: Serket is a spellcasting mob? This is Bindga as in the spell? If so, is that the only spell it uses? It doesn't exactly make sense for SE to give it one spell; Even spellcasting NMs like Maltha have at least two spells to work with.

Please clear this up for me. --Maledict 16:03, 10 Jan 2006 (PST)

Yes; as far as I know, it uses all its normal TP attacks, just at a higher rate.

Yes, it casts Bindga as a spell, separate from its TP attacks. It may have other spells too, but that's the only one I saw it use today.

"Earth Pounder" is two words, "Earthbreaker" is one for some reason. There is no scorpion attack "Poison Breath" as far as I know; just Numbing Breath and Cold Breath. --Valyana 18:27, 10 Jan 2006 (PST)

Okay. Thanks.

All right.

Some people were claiming that Bindga had Hate Reset. I'm not sure why, since Bindga's a spell and not a WS; It may have been that those people missed something other than that that caused it to reset hate, or someone might've just grabbed too much hate from Serket and didn't call the behavior correctly.

Because of this, I had thought that it was actually a special like "Cold Breath" and it followed Serket's pattern of "same special but meaner." Heh.

I'm going to hedge my bets on the Hate Reset until someone can confirm one way or the other.

Weird. Fixing.

There is no scorpion attack "Poison Breath" as far as I know; just Numbing Breath and Cold Breath.

Hmm, better have a look at this, then: category:Scorpions

"Poison Sting" isn't listed there either. "One of these things is not like the other..." Can you confirm what's what on that list? --Maledict 18:42, 10 Jan 2006 (PST)

Rage
Serket's rage time is twenty minutes, not thirty; but correcting that on Roc/Simurgh somehow led to an Edit War, somehow, so I'll just post it here and someone else can edit it in.
