pallintones VS mobs

[fl_gorre]

ppl are telling that mobs dont drop anymore after being damaged by siege-equip
is this true or just a legend?
wanne know asap so i know i can use a pallin vs apoc

Sorry, have no clue about that.
All I know is you could normally lvl VERY fast using siege equipment on the Sals planes, killing mobs that conned purple to you, etc
Loot I never looked at, I just saw some people pl their chars this way

You certaintly don't get XP for mobs killed with seige weaponry anymore, as mythic noticed how easy it was to powerlevel with one.

There's a possibility that mobs won't drop either now, but I don't know if that's true.

The damage they do is pathetic on high level mobs as well. I used a palintone on Dartmoor giants that were lvl 45 ish. Shot them for 80-120 damage.

Now imagine a lvl 70+ mob

did 3*70damage on apocs adds last week with a treb
2secs later i was kinda dead thoo

You no longer get exp OR drops if you do this If you shoot a mob then when the mob falls, you will not get the loot so for the sanity of all the people on a raid, I'd suggest not doing it

 

[fl_gorre]

well as long as you dint do the last hit it shouldnt be a prob no?

 

[old.Ramas]

Official line is that any damage at any point sets xp to zero and loot to nothing. Exactly like a guard does.

The kill shot is irrelevant.

I can't however, claim to have tested this properly.

I suggest not doing so on a sidi raid .

 

[fl_gorre]

just tested in some random mobs
still got xp and still received loot...

the ground target was aroudn 100units further then the mobs due minimum range so the end damage when used properly should be a bit more

As an aside I wouldn't bother trying siege in the apoc room anyway, because the apoc will keep porting you into the centre of the room, yet you need to build on the outside of the room for minimum range reasons.
