Mob difficulty isnt scaling with character

As you can see the CON_RED is what current raid mobs would fall in and probably be fine but any old raid mobs wouldnt behave right because they would fall into the lower categories and would be much easier. So a seperate raid check would need to be added and its own case. So far this is working out great on my server. The only problem ive run into besides raid mobs is that all of the low level mobs on EQEMU have the wrong min max in the tables. Currently lvl1 mobs that are not in tutorialb hit for a max of 2 per the table. When I log into live into innothule swamp the decaying skeletons hit me for a max of 6 unless they hold a wep in which case it is 8 or 10 depending on the weapon they hold. So I have started to go back and readjust all of the npc min max to reflect live.

Edit: I commented out the current code in my attack.cpp starting at line 1870 and end at line 1874 then pasted the above at line 1875.

And obviously this values I just made up with what I have seen from all of the parses I have done. They need to be fine tuned to really get it right. I stopped at dividing the mid by 5 at green con because I think that if you go any more you would defeat the purpose of AC. Right now though you dont get hit for continue top end without a ton of AC and if you have a ton AC you still get hit hard on occasion. The most testing I have done so far has been in CoM and EJ with a 50monk wearing gear only from kunark and classic. So far I am not getting completely owned like normal and I still have to stop and bw to keep fighting like it should be for dark blue and light blue mobs. If I use a fungi I have to do this less. Or just wait a bit for the regen to do it. Much like my experiences on live eqmac and p99.

For the raid check I was thinking of something along the lines of

if(RuleB(Combat, UseIntervalAC) && raid check) {.....

copy paste the rest and then that could be adjusted to what you want raid mobs to reflect =)
