Weird Problem.. Toon Announces On Kill

[appleuser]

Last few days I have noticed this. One toon in my group (Dirge) announces in 'say' the name of the mob if he gets the death blow. Not a huge issue but it's puzzling me. Anyone any idea what may be causing this?

My ranger does the same.

Ha, glad to know it's not just me! Running announce debug now to see what is happening, but typically he hasn't done it yet.

Are you using eq2bot? Seems I recall it doing that on my ranger.

Does the toon have the DT clicky charm? It causes that when they use it as a killing blow

I believe it says it no matter what.

If you wish to test, drop a training dummy, and without any bots or anything running, hit your Deathtouch clickie charm. It will say the name of the mob.

Cool, that's what it is then. Why in the world did DBG make it so? At least I know it's not my profile suddenly being buggy. Thanks alot guys.

Mildly amusing story of how I found out...
I ran the x2 and got a DT charm. Then I was working on making items announce via the announce tab. And by pure coincidence, I was using the toon I gave the DT charm too.
I spent a couple of hours trying to debug how the bot was doing a /say mobname before I figured out what was going on... At one stage, I had more debugging lines in the announce code than actual lines of code.

You'd almost think the devs do stuff like that just to fuck with us
