Can Yall undo rooted dragons now that stuff has 10million channeling skill?

[Kinaki]

Such a wasted opportunity...

I mean, keep non-gaters rooted if you want, but why nullify the brand new interrupt mechanics and anchor these poor children of Veeshan?

Also undo memblur after X distance please.

[Kinaki]

Classic is class afterall.

[imsorryGMs]

Server becomes less and less classic with each patch

Cease this endless conflict and seek salvation at the temple of Rodcet Nife, you fucking savages. It's almost 2020 and you're playing Everquest.

Well not Ike. Leave out the Ike part.

[Dolalin]

Pushing won't interrupt anymore, so no point unrooting. Get those shields out and start bashing and get your enchanters mana sieving.

[Jimjam]

My monk has been interrupting plenty if goblin casters recently. Unsure if this is relevant. I don't have a stun proc. using epic fists or wqs and flying kick (without disc). Level 52.

[Dolalin]

Flying kick might interrupt, not sure.

Protip- Mana Sieve is unresistable and can be cast from out of belly cast range, it’s possible to avoid some AEs or more easily Dodge them on an enchanter jousting behind corners.

Also for mobs you may DPS quickly like Kunark 32k dragons that you fear will gate, you can grab a Phinigel Wand of Mana Tapping. 7 instant charges of Mana Sieve should wipe out any NPC mana bar entirely, as most NPCs have mana bars around 3000-4000 if they’re in the 60s.

Counter-zerg strat! Everyone move your chanters back out of Chardok kthx.

All this is contingent on the implementation not being bugged, that should go without saying.

As if we didn't already know Barb is the best race choice for rogues. Slam!

[DromalPhrenia]

4 enchanters and a bard constantly mana sieving lepethida didn't stop her from CHing 5 times. And then theft of thought tells you that she has no mana to steal.

[Daldaen]

Sounds like a bug with either mana pool, mana Regen or NPC casting mechanics.

Most NPCs should have mana pools under a few thousand, and should Regen at a fairly slow rate.

I tested Lady Vox on Live recently and she had about 3000~ mana and Regenerated about 10 per tick. It also turned out that in her casting priority code after she burned her mana bar on about 10 Retribution casts (this was without me damaging her), she would constantly cast Nullify magic as she ticked up to having enough mana to cast it. It makes sense that in a classic raid of 40+ players you’d see Vox dropped under 50% before she gets time to cast enough Nukes to drain a mana bar, and she would resort to a CH or two. But you shouldn’t be seeing 5 CHs from a single NPC.

It’s very likely that the casting priority logic for NPCs with the cleric spell set is wrong. They should be burning through most of their mana on non-CH things prior to reaching 50% unless you have a ridiculous Zerg of DPS. You should only be seeing them have enough mana to land 1 or 2 CHs in a balanced non-Zerg raid before they exhaust their mana and resort to casting lower mana spells as their Regen ticks up.

[Dolalin]

Based on that bug thread, I think the issue is that this is a warrior mob without a mana pool who is hard coded to still checking somehow.

[Dolalin]

Still CH* somehow

[Mblake81]

Unroot on blue but root on Green to avoid the pixel train from ever starting.

[kaizersoze]

what if this is the new anti zerg defense mechanism? Having 100+ people there to never let the mob cast a nuke instead of saving mana for CHs is a sneaky way to say fuck your zerg.

[GinnasP99]

The dain shall be slain

[shuklak]

Root and shoot baby!

[Solist]

Should root Dain too.

It’s an ugly training meta. Clear all the guards.

Chamberlains gowns and Seneschal Swords for all!

[Dman2701]

Each patch the Dev's have basically been forcing guilds to get bigger and bigger.
It's going to be even harder for smaller guilds to do targets like Gore, Vox, any VP dragons, Gozzrem, Jor, Velks.
Trash mobs in tov are going to be even harder to clear and chances of guilds training each other due to gating trash mobs just went up substantially.

The fun of rooted dragons grows wildly out of control

[Katran]

Rooted dragons led to more flurry loot and kael quest armor pieces. Also having to clear through zone is a bit more fun than simply pulling a dragon to zone in.

Yeah but now there is just a giant race to see who can off tank the most guards now during an engage.

How is this "classic" ?

Way more classic than pulling dragons to the zone line.

It was fun for a while. I think now, even the blowhards who "loved it" don't love it at much. I don't think it matters what guild you're in, static dragons suck (unbiased-ly, it would suck less if you were killing most of them, I can admit that). They should be allowed to at least, have some kind of a short leash range though, as I've said from the get-go.

[reznor_]

I don't like how rooted dragons have caused previously viable, competitive guilds and alliances to decay and/or collapse. I think that's shitty.

[Cecil]

Rooted dragons were a counter to blue server players disgusting behavior and you can enjoy them forever

hope this helps

That didn’t help at all and it made no sense

[pogs4ever]

it's ok! we bringing coth races back!

Ten guilds competing in ToV isn't what classic was like.

Anyway, most of the people who wanted to raid ToV competitively are still doing so, just with Riot / AM / AG.

Don't worry everyone. People are cheating on footraces, so coth races are back. You can't cheat on those.

p99, fanatically classic except for Pathing, AoEs, leashing, rooting, resists, spawn rates, and spawn variance, but hey at least you can't use un-classic hotkeys anymore

Yea, why doesn't Rogean just use the classic Pathing.exe?

Totally valid points. I only started playing about 2 years ago, and raiding with AM for about 6 months now, so I don’t really know my history.
