Scorcher mob aoe DD should be reactive proc, not offensive.

Scorcher mob was given aoe dd here but its currently set as an offensive proc. This was a farming pet for sorc/minst that would pull many mobs and use reactive proc spam to aoe pulls down with cleric heals. These sources also indicate they should spawn higher level, allakzam shows they spawn up to level 52.

https://forums.freddyshouse.com/threads/farming.191515/ - "Scorcher can be done by minstrel too, providing you can find an orange con one, they're effective enough when fully buffed (including red healproc) to take on all the orc groups in one pull, I found it slightly quicker than serv necro but this was a long time ago. "

https://forum.quartertothree.com/t/dark-age-of-camelot-n00b/36436/9 - "Most powerlevel cases are a single character powering through mobs to level the alt. In Albion, this would be with a scorcher (mob that procs a PBAE upon being hit) or a Necromancer using its damage shield. In Hibernia, this would be a Vampiir farming mobs."

https://www.ign.com/boards/threads/r-i-p-scorcher-pets.250697037/ - " I remember they used to always proc that AE crap when you hit them. Only thing is they are lower level I believe."

https://www.ign.com/boards/threads/fastest-way-to-lvl-alb.250235286/ - "Fastest way is to get PLed with a sorc with a scorcher pet and a cleric bot at the orc camp."

ETC.

On live it was nerfed in 2011(roughly) to an offensive proc instead of defensive. I would hope we could get the classic version here for this classic server.

It was never nerfed to offensive proc - the aoe DD delve was lowered and it

The aoe delve was lowered and it always had a single DD ranged. The levels were originally 44-54 but then changed to cap at 52.

All sources i see pre 2011 say it is a reactive aoe proc. Bigger pulls proccing it more, pull too small and you cant hold aggro
