[edit] New Auras

Did anyone figure out the new auras yet? On one hand, this[1] guy is still using the old aura. On the other hand, this guy[2] and [3] PvP henchies (which, as you know, are aura'd in battles to denote which team they are on) have the "new" aura. At first I thought they gave the new aura to humanoid bosses, as humans (such as Hablion) look hideous with the old boss aura. But apparently charr are humanoid and were left without the new auras, though this may be an oversight, or they may be considered not ugly enough with the old aura to need the new aura (or they may have forgotten to implement it when they updated Charr textures, though I cannot make out any significant difference in them other than perhaps a bit of smoothing). Personally I miss the old aura. A bit...odd, but a lot easier to make out than the new aura, which looks like a mere tinting of colors. Image:Esig2.jpg Eldin 20:39, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

I cant even tell on Warrior or Paragon bosses in Elona anymore. - BeXoR 21:40, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

You're right. This[4] warrior looks just dandy, though it's not just warriors and paragons. Here's a necro: [5] Earilier, I also saw an ele boss with the new aura. Image:Esig2.jpg Eldin 22:42, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Special Boss Skills

I'm talking about the fact that bosses have halved skill recharge times and reduced condition/hex times. Shouldn't this be added to the page? I would add myself but I thought that the special boss conditions varied with campaign, but am not sure. Could some one clarify this and add it. 86.20.32.178 13:22, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Boss-like creature

Would it be good to have a sub section to explain that there are also some unique boss-like creatures with special names (and other boss features??), which may sometimes also drops unique items, but you can't caputure elite from?? What other feature they share with or distinguish them from normal bosses? Balwin 15:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eye Of The North Bosses

They are not mentionned in the special abilities section, do they have 1/2casting & recharge time or do they count as prophetie bosses ?

[edit] Double xp for bosses

Doesn't bosses give double xp? maybe that should be mentioned in the article.--Prince godrik 11:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

They give more XP because they are of a much higher level. A Level 28 boss gives the same experience as any level 28 monster.

Are you sure about that? I just killed a lvl 6 boss with my lvl 8 character and got 128xp, and not 64. a lvl 28 monster does not give same xp as a lcvl 28 boss... unless you're a low lvl yourself, so that both reaches the cap. Hm, btw, the cap should also be double for bosses --Prince godrik 09:59, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cyan

I like the red peppers better than the green ones.[6]Gogogogo!--Ʀєʟʟɑ 06:39, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
