By the time 2002 rolls around you'll be right. The server isn't at 2002. Shamans aren't one glowing exemption from the spell stacking rules.

False. I am not arguing that 2 shamans casting the same DoT should stack. That was 2002 as is clearly stated. I am saying the earliest reports of whether or not each shaman DoT could stack with the other are a resounding YES... namely that...

Sickness, Tainted Breath, Affliction, Evenomed Breath,Scourge,Venom of the Snake,Evenomed Bolt, Plauge,Bane of Nife,and Pox of Bertoxxulous can ALL BE ON ONE MOB AT THE SAME TIME. every spell wills tack, poison, disease, AE, WHATEVER. try stuff before you post stuff. I can guarantee you you have not played a shaman to 19, or have not tried stacking 3 DoTs at ONCE!!!

..conclusively prove they did. You provide no conflicting evidence in regards to Shamans.

Trying to separate them from necros is even more laughable, as they don't even diverge from possessing a small set of necro spells until later levels.

False again. Your lack of EQ knowledge is disturbing. Shaman level 5 disease (sicken), Level 9 poison (tainted breath), level 19 disease (affliction) level 24 poison (envenomed breath) are all unique to Shamans. It's only some of the mid-level ones necros share. It's obviously not a line if you only get the middle section.

What line is the unique level 4 necro poison apart of?
What line is the unique level 1 necro dis apart of?
etc. etc. etc. They are individual spells not in a line.

Here's a good one... Infectious Cloud, the only AE DoT 1-60 in vanilla-velious, both Shaman and Necro get it. What line is it apart of? That's right, none. It's unique.

Terribly sorry if you missed the memo that the date of the evidence is relevant. Or this old post (I know you saw it, because you lopped off the last 9/10 of it that you didn't want to acknowledge, particularly the underlined part)

Your words don't really concern me with the veracity of this issue, but you're quoting yourself to prove your point?.... Lolz.

While some people are content to search the forums for the one quote from the mouth-breathing incompetent who posted something that contradicts what we did (and there's no shortage of conflicting information), we do our homework beforehand and look at all available sources to get the whole picture.

Let me summarize what you're saying there

Summary of Uthgaard's position: We have our sources, but we won't share them with you, but trust us. We are right. There are contradictions (that will not be named or linked), but we have 1 vague quote we are resting on.

What homework? You haven't posted anything except this poor excuse for evidence which does not address shamans. I provide clear evidence Shaman DoTs stacked poison with poison, disease with disease, before 2002.

The evidence is clear. You say can say it's "balance," but you can't argue it's classic.

PS

I like uthgaard, he should consider gm for the red99, he has the iron fist of justice

More like the iron skull of thickness. Someone too proud to admit they are wrong, or too stupid to see they are wrong, are unfit to be a GM. We will see if Uthgaard comes around to agree with the evidence or not; and if he will provide his own, or not.
