PSA: Multi-kill limit.

[radioactive_lego]

During an attempt to set a benchmark/first "record for most instantaneous kills" we established that only 16 mobs can be killed instantaneously, additional mobs will suffer no damage.

This was tested with BLM spell Flare and WHM spell Holy on 31 highly agitated lvl 4-9 creatures. XD

.... and knowing is half the battle.

Totally gonna try this later >.>

16 mobs at once?
That's kind of an arbitrary number for a multi-kill limit...wonder if there's some kind of logic behind it.

Doesn't sound too arbitrary, it's a power of two which most data maxes out at.

That was my thought as well. I'd have been more surprised if the cap WASN'T a power of two. Powers of two are Magical in Computer Science!

Don't forget power of two minus one.

Of course, 0 based numbering ftw!

2 Bytes of mobs lol

That's actually one nibble (2 bytes is 512, or 8 bits +1 bit).

That makes me wonder...would a player also only take damage from the first 16 mobs? :3
