[Mob captures] TOAU mob family behaviours

[Skerxan]

Hey,

This thread is to showcase and discuss retail captures of TOAU mob behaviours regarding their breakable parts and other things.
I know my captures are not long enough to be 100% conclusive but enough to atleast make estimated guesses and expand upon.

Regarding the behaviour of the Wamouracampa family, I didn't think of recording videos for that but did a live discussion with @Xaver-DaRed while testing them on retail and made a PR at the end with alot of documentation. #1088

First off, my video of a Wamoura Prince in Mount Zhayolm transforming into a grown Wamoura. It's not a great capture since I left it running in the background because I had no idea how long they take to transform after spawn. Took roughly 32 minutes for this one. Transformation at 10:30.

Second captures are from Marids in Bhaflau Thickets. These videos showcase how and what you can break their tusks with. Also if that relates to their loot behaviour. My gatherings from these few fights:

• They will only drop Marid Tusks when breaking the tusks on their model. 1 Marid Tusk per tusk broken.
• You can only break 1 tusk at a time.
• Melee crits can break a tusk.
• Melee crits damage amount seems to matter for a range of % chance to break a tusk. But never 100%.
• Forced crits like Sneak Attack can break a tusk.
• Sneak Attack tusk breaks prove that the direction doesn't matter.
• Damage amount or total amount seem to not matter (without crits.).
• Melee crits from Trusts can break a tusk.
• Lasthitting with a crit can break a tusk.
• Weaponskills probably don't break a tusk UNLESS it crits. Used Excenterator and Evisceration.
• Clopedia also mentioned that ranged crits and Box/Stutter Steps from DNC main and subs can cause tusk breaks.

The next captures are versus Heraldic Imps to test how they drop their Imp Horn. My gatherings are:

• Melee crits can break their horn on the model.
• Breaking the horn seems to be the same behaviour like breaking Marid Tusks.
• However, they WILL drop their Imp Horn regardless of the state of their model. (It seems to be a regular rare drop.)
• The rest of their horn behaviour is the same as reported on Clopedia.
