We encountered this as soon as he was added in, thought you knew about it or someone informed you of it (Unless you had fixed it after that)

The hoarfrost's ice circle causes the script to completely go nuts seemingly spawning a bunch of his fireballs every tick of damage from the circle itself, causing essentialy the server to take care not only of the ice circle damaging the reaver every tick, but also 3+ fireballs spawning, exploding, causing damage and then dissapearing in a continuous cycle.

Easy fix for time being

DO NOT ATTACK HIM WITH ICE DOT (or any other for that matter maybe).

Just rape him with regular weapons.

That maybe it. I've seen him go down a half dozen times or so, but genereally he just gets gang banged by a bunch of level 30+'s with conventional weapons.

As long as you haven't edited him since his initial release we pretty much confirmed it (we being Me, a few other RiPs, Villager iirc). When using a bunch of hoarfrosts on him, the server would simply become unplayable, sometimes crashing. After we tried this a few times, we switched to power hitting weapons (Dark sword, DC) and he was fine, no real lag, no noticeable difference. Then going back to even one hoarfrost circle, the server would become unplayable.
