Issue...

Did SE change the behavior of the Defoliator's in Aydeewa Subterrane in one of the last patches? I am partying in the atm and they appear to no longer despawn when aggroed or linked when you walk through the puddles. Also, the seem to hit MUCH harder and have higher evasion. Does anyone know, or has anyone else seen a change in their behavior?

Yep, had to have totally revamped 'em. Longer aggro range, and definitly through puddles now. FYI to and 59+ exp'ers... mob behavior has TOTALLY changed...

Edit: If you havent seen by now, I am a HORRIBLE Typist.

:)

i think ur just not putting running thru puddles at the right time if ur tryna drop hate.

Maybe you should try to actually use Deoderize instead of the puddles. That way you can be pretty sure if they still track by scent or not.
But my guess is that they might have changed the deoderize effect of water that you need to go through it much longer.
Haven't really been near crawlers recently so can't really give any better idea.

fairly sure hes just mistaken, make the thing chase u for more than 5 secs before running thru the puddles.

yeah ive recently exped in the subterrain and the worms have been hitting more harder then usual. i was having to cure bomb the tank.
