I recently obtained one and they suck. for the difficulty of finding one, and the slow spawn rate, they should at least have wrestling or better skills, all mine does is run away and casts a few spells, no where near enough to kill something. ive also fought with it quite a bit and it hasnt gained any skills. Maybe mines bugged or something, but anyways lol they should at least be better than chaos steeds.

Ya they should have base wrestling. They suck now as opposed to how they were before because of the AI. By default, monsters without wrestling or weapon skill will step back as they don't know how to fight close combat. This is not really intended with black unicorns however. They should be given "base" wrestling so that they can run up and attack stuff but their main power lies in their magical abilities.

lol so are u gonna make them have wrestling? or do u have to do it to each one seperatly?

They are supposed to be elemental tanks/ranged damage dealers, reason they had no wrestling is because their base damage is set to 1-1 and they didn't run before.

Probably globally give them a fixed value so they won't keep running away before they can fire a spell off.

they should be stronger i think, cus of the rarity, they should at least overpower a chaos steed.

Their strength lies in however the creator intended it. Brunus would be able to tell you exactly what that is, but I believe the intention was powerful magery over melee.

trust me, black unicorn's spells aren't anything special.

They can't meele

They run away

They cast slow

Their spell damage is not even on par with a single (2 slot) mare.

Their magery, evalint, meditation and resist can all go up to 120, making them powerful magic users.

Just checked the script and the wrestling parameter is there. Chances are the existing ones aren't updated wrestling wise though so red will likely have to do a global change.

Actually since it's a special mob I should jack up the AI intensity on that mob.

QFm-fingT. Black unis are worthless as pets. Heres how a usual battle goes:

All Kill - uni runs away, casts heal on itself even though it is at full health
uni casts clumsy, runs away 5 tiles
uni casts MA, runs away 5 tiles
Uni casts exp - yeah, now its getting good
uni casts clumsy
" " bless
" " heal on itself again, and its not damaged
by then the monster is back to full health.

repeat that for 15 minutes, then just kill the damn monster yourself. Great waste of a 4 slot super rare pet. I might as well go out hunting with a pack of mongbats.

Ya, intensity is probably too low on them as well.

looks like I started something haha but when can we expect them to be made stronger? I mean when will you globally make them better?
