I am wondering based on what tests was the Spiritmaster intercept pet implemented here on Uthgard, if a game developer would answer i d be thankful.
A DW er hiting 4 times and both hands beeing intercepted 3 out of 4 is not livelike, i am sure of it, i want you opinions also those who fought against them.
Keep in mind that buffing the pet will not help him intercept more, bufs on pets like const increase his absorb towards melee and spell dmg while dext and af increase abs of pet vs melee dmg only stacking with the abs provided by const buff.

Working as intended.

So your Ranger cant kill a SM? Nerf dem Pets!!

It is livelike (at least against mobs).

The natural order of people only noticing when things are negative, and never when it's positive...

I played an sm on live, and I remember these posts
I can not recall ever seeing a ranger come on any boards saying: "Damn, I fought a sm, and his pet didn't intercept any of my attacks, is that working as intended???"

It's %'s, and thus you can have fights where they intercept every single attack, I tried it. But I also tried fights where it didn't intercept anything.
I am 100% certain the people who fought me where it intercepted all, cursed sm's and called them the cheesiest class ever. But when they fought me and nothing was intercepted, they were praising their own masterful playing talents...

It's the nature of things, when I fail it's everyone's but my own fault. But when I succeed, it's simply due to my extremely awesome skills.

Ahahah, i agree with you

Tested and confirmed by both Blue and Nayru. It's working correctly.

Since Rangers are the only dual wielding class, right?

I played a merc , i dont play hibgayland , and i have seen before these statements " working as intended" and actually it wasnt , was same with cleric rr5, menta rr5 , sorc rr5 and many others which i have corected and NOW work as intended , so yes i put myself questions that many of you who played here for years never knew/bothered /cared to do, and fyi i have atacked also SM with intercept pet before on live servers but to intercept 3 hits all with both hands is abit much and i saw another thing that bothers me... here on uthgard many times i get blocked on both hands one after another or parried on both hands like somehow what happends on mainh aplies to offhand also, the randomness is not like it was on live.

-.-

Funny, 99% of QQ threads about ranger's come from assasins who get killed by them and now your making fun of a person (who doesnt even play ranger) for doing the exact same thing. Sounds pretty hypocritical.

I too played on live, and I've played on here for almost 2 years, and I can tell you that the SM pet intercept rate IS NOT at all like what it was on live. It is WAY higher here. I dont know if I have EVER got more then 25% of my hits to get threw on a solo SM EVER. I would love to see some proof of these battles where no hits got intercepted... I

I don't play SM here (decided to go for hib), but could it be linked to the lack of WeaponSkill working as intended?

No, that's a different issue.

You're right about one thing: You don't know, because you wouldn't be posting this otherwise. SM intercept chance was proven by the SM TL to be AT LEAST 50% on Live by testing on several thousand swings. Both Nayru and Blue confirmed it's working as intended here, as every couple of months there is a retarded SM QQ spree by people who can't stand getting killed by a caster.

Not to mention that you can google numerous QQ threads for SM Intercept from Live as well, claiming 90% chances and whatnot. 25%, LOL.

Test it, prove a bug exists, get it fixed, but stop posting biased FALSE nonsense.

This is suport thread, my post is a question to any GM or so who can tell us what is the % for SM pet to intercept and if buffs on pet or owner affect the intercept increasing it, because i have a feeling that it doesnt when it shouldnt, after i get an answer i l go on live and test it.

ANd..i got kiled before by casters here and they were oped in therms like,,sorc using MOC+ rr5, mentha using rr5 and his pet was still bashing me even tho it wasnt suposed to do that and so on ..

And...i am not any player ..i am A player ..

I wasn't even replying to you specifically. As far as I have gathered, there aren't really any active devs here atm, and I don't think a GM can answer that any better then a well-informed player can.

If you were just looking for answers, then you got them. The Intercept chance is 50% with the highest level pet, and buffs didn't affect it around 2003-2004, but I don't know if that got changed in the meantime.

The only recent SM bug I know of was that the pet was receiving to little damage when it succesfully intercepted an attack, but AFAIK that got fixed.
