To compare Elder Beads and a fungi in terms of power is nonsense also, I would take a fungi over Elder Beads 100 out of 100 times
You still can pull a pocket of mobs to your location in perfect safety, and have a team member tag stragglers. Still trivializes the pulling. Same with bio orb, trivializes splitting. Face pulling used to be dangerous, splitting takes learning with the new system.

And I've seen monks using eye everywhere to pull, not just HoT. It's just sad really that pulling is left up to a few trinkets that make it super easy.

EQ wasn't meant to be that way, supposed to learn from your mistakes and master your class abilities through trial and error and guidance from other members.

Obviously we have to live with what transpired during classic, but its painfully obvious that beads were nerfed so it didn't become a widespread problem. It's a legacy item that in my opinion is ruining the server of a more classic experience.
