What does being Orange actually do?

[PopeJual]

I know that having a Red name makes you immune to instant kill effects, caps your stat damage at 10 for each stat and makes you immune to autocrit from stat damage (although you can still go into autocrit from stat penalties).

I know that having a Purple name gives you all the same benefits that a Red name gives you and also makes you immune to stat damage.

What does having an Orange name actually do for you? You can still be Vorpalled, Fingered, etc. Orange named critters usually have more HP than generic trash, but that is just because they have more HP, it isn't an actual benefit from the Orange name itself.

Anyone know what having an Orange name actually does for a miniboss?

[elujin]

thats prob not the only thing but there immune to facinate , enthral and dance song

[patang01]

You can also be the speaker of the house

[Nospheratus]

The fact that they have a name?

[Tuney]

thats prob not the only thing but there immune to facinate , enthral and dance song

Basicly what this person said, only immunity I've noticed is from any song based CC.

It gets you a TV show:

Seriously though, immunity to charms, hypno and certain aother types of CC. I don't believe they can be tripped or stunned either.

But only if you use Quick Tan followed by a heavy dose of bronzer.

Nope they easily stunned, tripped, etc, as any mob, maybe slightly higher saves, but there's really not much difference besides normal yellow names.

I just see them as 'slightly tougher' trash and SOME trash has name!

[Sinni]

from my experience i'd say they also have higher saves.

[gwenniez]

yea apart from the jersey jokes i wanted to make thats already been made

orange mobs got

names

higher hp

higher saves

[karnokvolrath]

My Gosh she is a vile pig!

+1 lol

[CaseStringer]

Being a Snookie monster means there are chests involved. ;)

----> CASE.

[sephiroth1084]

Pretty sure (not positive) that I've charmed orange named mobs.

As far as I know, the only thing that distinguishes orange named monsters from everything else is higher stats (saves, attack, damage, HP, etc...). I think it's just a sort of warning to players that THIS GUY IS TOUGHER.

[Missing_Minds]

My Gosh she is a vile pig!

Kermit approves your sentiment.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

I believe it just makes you a minion with a name tag.

[patang01]

Air ellies can flop them over like hot cakes, but if you want to insta kill anything higher than Amrath orange rare you need energy drain to overcome the saves.

But....... can they be knocked?

I'd like to issue a formal complaint that people are repping comments about my post without repping the original post :D (although I could understand getting negged for tainting the forums with Snooky)

[Zenako]

They also tend to give dollops of Guild Renown while normal grunts rarely do so.

Taint so bad, not even a Gem of Cleansing can cure it.

[dkyle]

I believe Orange names are immune to Charm Person/Monster, but not Suggestion. Justification may be that Charms can theoretically last forever, but Suggestion lasts a fixed amount of time.

In Epics, Orange names are not "Minions", and as such, do not get hit with the -10 saves, -d20 to-hit nerf.

[Mistycball]

i see some mobs which are orange at normal and red on elite difficult.

Are you a monster? Trying to be promoted to Orange name?

Ok... I have nothing on topic to add... just found it funny the way he asked :D

I see your point, but although you provided a picture, you didn't make the necessary chest joke/reference to get the rep

[Khanyth]

Now had you gone a step further, and made a blatant taint joke, you'da got the rep. You need to take it that one step further to get the rep. Anyone can address the envelope.... but to get the rep, you need to push it too


Taint so bad, not even a Gem of Cleansing can cure it.

+1.... again... good job taking it to the next level. And for that, I thank you

[t0r012]

You can also be the speaker of the house

I'd +1 you for this but it goes against my policy of actually using the rep system how it was intended.

Darn funny though.

Yeah, they are immune to Charm Monster, Dominate Monster and Symbol of Persuasion but fully susceptible to Suggestion/Mass Suggestion. Interestingly, the Symbol is a fixed duration spell like Suggestion (with the same duration too) but it does not work on orange nameds.

Minion is only a -5 saves penalty, as well. (-10 was the initial version trialed on Lamania briefly, it allowed DC 35 ungeared WF Sorcs to dominate quests like you would not believe).

get my greatsword

[JollySwagMan]

Sap works on em (provided that they are not an immune creature type to begin with) - can be very helpful in making certain fights less messy, giving a 15/30 second window to clear out the regular critters and have everyone ready to concentrate on the miniboss.

Orange named monsters are like the 18 year old assistant store managers at McDonalds. They have a big name tag, try to boss around the other trash in the area, and have no real authority to do anything of meaning.

But at the end of the day they are just the orange peels on top of the garbage heap.

To echo the replies so far, their main functional benifit is the bump states/saves and protection from some forms or CC.
