This thread should be moved to RnF coz these fools are mad as hell.

What you want it to turn into a discussion about race circa 1847

just to necro this a little:

what would be the difference between a lvl 10 having a piece of defiant vs a lvl 10 having a fungi/fbss/epic?

him or her not having a lvl 60 main. :P

not being classic.

To the OP. Why in the fuck don't you just start one character and try to be the best Warrior, Enchanter, Monk, etc. on the whole god damn server and be F'ing happy. Who gives a crap about gear if you can't play your class worth a shit. Almost every Caster class needs no damn gear at all. :( Silly Bastard.

Defiant gear would be a lot worse than fungis.

To put things into perspective, the last toon I PL'd on live had 255 to all stats and nearly 4k h/m/e with capped resists. Iirc that toon also had +5 hp regen and +6 mana regen with some mod2s and 30% haste.

This was in the high 30s with just level appropriate defiant gear.

For bards it also gives you instrument mods on visible plate. This includes a singing mod that can otherwise only be found on epic 1.0 on p99 - a game changer.

while we're at it lets make this server as crappy as live and add all of the expansions and cheesy augs and whatever hell else they want to do to make EQ more like WOW

I vote HELL NO, no defiant gear

Yeah Bar Tender I'll take double what he's having

I love how you're implying that's a positive.

"Don't bother starting on the server if you don't have a lvl 60 twinking you."
