I never said such a thing yayaril. Then again, you can continue to be BBS troll and flame anyone that comes along.
I don't think jabberwock needs to be downgraded. Its significantly hard for the eq it pans out. Thats my opinion, but everyone has one.

Gromikazer, I know how to do the fight. I've done it every conceivable way. The para proc makes it a crapshoot. I never take invokers so he para's my chanters and clerics right away.
Maybe you guys do more damage than us, who knows, but its generally a crapshoot if we win the fight cuz of the para proc.

But your post explains WHY you get spanked there.

I think Dornax's post revolves around the fact that the fight isn't much fun, not that it's tough. He said that himself- he's down with it being tough. He's just saying that the proc is really annoying and takes the fun out of the battle when you are sitting there frozen. It's wonderful that you can do the fight without any deaths and are all uber and stuff, Gromikazer, but that wasn't the point of his post. I followed up with a suggestion that would make this fight more 'fun'. It annoys me when mobs have an ability that can't be saved against. What's the point of having saving throws if they don't ever come into effect?

The proc targets invokers primarily. Bring 3 of them, and you're clerics wont get targetted
Not bringing invokers here and complain that its guaranteed spanks = not bringing a displacer to padashaw.

Yayaril said it best.
Mob procs that can't be saved against generally are no fun. Heck, Lord Entropis' blind proc is kinda cool, because you can readily correct the proc. Thrym's proc is acceptable because you can be blinked out and wear !summon. Para procs like Jabbers are like the epitome of boring. I am not in favor of making the fight easier, it should be darn tough. However, I did want the fight to be more fun, that's all.
By the way, you don't need invokers for any zone. I am a huge advocate of melee damage over invoker damage. Also, I do Padashaw without displace all the time.

Your problem is that I was not leading, for then, you would surely be resigned to death already.

Hrmm, Jurd/Dorn ? You mentioned how you can adjust for Thrym's nasty little proc. . . its pretty much the same thing as Jabber's isn't it? You could blink out para'd people =] And/or have folk wear prot eq and pre-consent a ranger (or another class) for a dispel magic so they can jump right back into the fight. (Those effects are dispellable, I believe. don't recall atm). Anyway =) Everyone's experience is different. . . I think I've died at jabber once or twice this wipe. . .so chalk it up to luck I suppose. Just my 2 cents!

In that particular fight where Lirela and I got para'd in the first 20 seconds, I was blinked out. Jabber then roared and walked east and my group was w fighting the elves while Jabber slowly killed me.
This thread can die though, since apparently I am the only one who ever spanks on Jabber. :P

You people can relax a bit, fixing Jabber is on the list. Its going to take a while to balance out, and expect it to actually get harder, it won't be quite as cheesy with para, but it will get harder.
I've started a new job recently, so my changes are going to be a bit more spread out, but they will get it, you can be assured of that.
