Suggestion Creeper op

[Wild_Porygon]

Creepers lately are 1hitting people, people who are max level specs, this is also making good MA teams wipe because of one explosion, it's rediculous.

 

[MrAwesomeShadow]

They should learn to get away from the blast radius then? If they are such a good MA team, then they should be able to do that. =P Also...isn't the max damage for creepers 500hp? I'm sure fully mastered specs can take that much damage. Get some healers ;D

 

[OrangeAngel]

I get oneshotted. I have over 500 HP :/

 

[MrAwesomeShadow]

Hmm the wiki must be outdated then. Were you directly next to the creeper?

 

[OrangeAngel]

Yes

 

[MrAwesomeShadow]

Ok...that explains that, but are you 100% sure that you have full health?

 

[ThatAintFalco]

They 1 shot, creepers are broken.

 

[Didag]

I have 1025 hp and creepers get me down to about half of that :/

 

[MrAwesomeShadow]

Lol sorry for not noticing...I'm kinda always wearing armor and all. But yeah, I think they led me to lower health than normal.

 

[MrAwesomeShadow]

That's 500...

 

[Didag]

That's 500...

I know that's what it says on the wiki but I agree that it is a bit much.

 

[Dazureus]

1-shots ought to be reserved for lightning creepers. I would say 475HP or thereabouts for garden-variety. Does anybody have exact numbers on what they deal currently?

 

[Didag]

Atm there's just this that says creepers do 500 max.

As a disc (over 1k hp no armour) creepers took me down to 2 and a half hearts and I wasn't even next to them, as a ninja I am 1shotted, as a master Geo I am 1shotted.

 

[MrAwesomeShadow]

Yeah from these reports they seem to be broken or they made another secret buff to creepers ._. I personally thought 500 was enough but this seems to be far too much damage a DK with full armor could be lowered to half their health with 2 creeper explosions not even next to them... :/

Ill go hug a creeper as a fully armored dragoon and see what they do <3

Edit: With iron pants instead of diamond it took me from 1001 -> 649

Edit 2: With no armor it did 800 to me

Does nobody else think that that number is a bit high?

I can understand for specced players, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but unspecced classes (Warrior, Rogue, etc.) are going to have a hell of a time killing creepers out on the roads. I think either their damage should be reduced, or their maximum health should be reduced.

That only works in theory. When you're actually mob farming, there's more than one mob and usually more than one creeper. So, it's more along the lines of "Sprint-hit-two-creepers-back-away-while-dodging-skeleton-arrow-and-calculating-trajectory-of-the-spider-on-top-of-the-tree," which is a little bit harsh on new players.

I know we want to be a hardcore server where mobs are a challenge, but speaking as a Warrior who spent the majority of his 30 levels mob farming outside of his town, mob farming is more like fighting a battle uphill with an amputated arm and a dislocated kneecap, using a slightly-sharpened spoon as your weapon. I think that slightly nerfing the health pool that creepers have will, at the very least, sharpen the spoon a bit more and maybe relocate your kneecap.

Not always that easy when all you hear is "hiss" then as a master spec your dead -.- also sometimes lag gets them to explode on you in weird ways :S
