Ten years ago I would've been right there with Loramin, but at this point it's far too late for me to care overmuch anymore. What does it matter to me when my highest-activity days are long past anyway? Won't do me any good either way at this point.
It ain't just channeling though. Maybe they'll come for lulls and highlevel charm durations too. There's a lot of wonky stuff on P99 and enchanters just happened to benefit from those spell issues more strongly than others did. Then we have other nonclassic issues like lifetaps resisting or rooted dragons or the yellow bar not working or many monsters being overtuned in general. Some of those are deliberate, some, less so. Jimjam is right, a lot of development was done in a sort of seat-of-the-pants manner, and it really does show. It's close to classic, but not a 100% match. P99 was never meant to last this long after all--was really intended as a sort of stopgap pending other classic projects built in a more exacting manner. Life had other ideas, and P99 has a commendable track record. If it has flaws, well, what doesn't?
