With eyes of fertuman changed how it is. I think we should be able to farlook a mob regardless of its level. Sure there are zones that are just magically blocked.. understandable but it is ridiculous when you've been fighting a high level mob for over 30 minutes and when I finally had him down into horrid/near death he teleported.. Bam gone, I couldn't eyes for him obviously, I couldn't farlook him because he was too high level (I tried 25 times with farlook at superb), Also my cleric friend that was with me wasn't able to astral to him. 5 minutes later he finally tracked me down because I couldn't track him, full life, and fully spelled up, I had no choice but to run like a coward.

Now if this was a mob that couldn't even be solo'd and I needed a group of 5 or so to fight him. There is absolutely no chance I would be able to farlook the mob, and if he teleported himself, all the comps, time, etc we took to take him down was wasted because we can't astral, track, or farlook him. You can't say I could keep him suffocated or watery graved, because usually for mages down in horrid I keep watery graved the as much as I can, but from the 2-3 round cast it takes to watery grave, he can start casting a spell, and even if I was successful graving him, he will still finish his cast he started. Which just so happened to be a teleport with a mob I was trying to kill.

I hear psionic's with telepathic vision can see things others cannot.

If this farlook idea was implemented psionic's would once again see a change that negates their usefulness.

Which then would be unfair for my poor mage who never had the opportunity to go psionic since I made Karla before psionics were even in play.. I would be fine leaving that as is if there was at least 1 psionicist on at any given point, but knowing that 95% of the time there isn't one, there needs to be a way for players to find mobs that teleport besides logging off, getting on their own psionicist and seeking them out.
