Please dont answer or post if you dont know and are not sure. i dont need 100 differend answers.

If i engage Herald of terror at players 1 and then join with my other 7 chars and join in close distance of a herald kill...
How will the loot table be determined? As players 8 or players 1 kill?

Thanks.

edit
tbh I'm not 100% sure anymore
I'll need to test further

the monsters stats are determined when spawned, but I've read and seen conflicting info/results about drops

Ah seen you changed. Its weird caus there is no right answer on the internet.. Ai is saying as many times i ask, that the health, damage and exp gain are determined at the moment of spawn, while the loot table counts after the monster dies.. Its the argument of vicinity aswell..

P sure once the monster spawns your loot "level" is locked in. This would be a pretty huge exploit otherwise I would think, unless youre asking whether its been tested that heralds specifically dont break this rule?

Otherwise it would be the norm to tele near trav for instance, go back to town and /p8, then you get a monster with p1 heatlh dropping p8 loot

well I've seen people claim that you should indeed spawn trav on p1 and then turn on /p8 for increased loots but easy kills
It's not the kind of gimmick I ever really cared about so I didn't give it much attention, but all I remember is that when I tested this claim many years ago I wasn't convinced that it really worked lol
Also sometimes the game acts differently online vs SP
