Spell: Disease Cloud
I was dinking around with my emu server using p99 spell file. Disease cloud has an additional +400 hate on it.
I use the server that actually uses spell file for spell data, I hear the new one doesn't but has a table I'm unfamiliar with. Point being, Disease Cloud should not have +400 hate on it. It should have the awsome innate aggro DOTs had from classic till 10 expansions in + the damage it does. Be this bug? | ||

disease cloud was always used by SK's as one of there 3 spells = never lose agro combo.
I was a shaman on live, and in PoG an SK mate challenged me to try take his portector of growth off him after he cast his 3 spell combo (we were tasked with pog add control). he used his best darkness line, disease cloud (the low level version), and one other spell which i can't remember. He refreshed disease cloud (only) every minute or so and ran around in a circle around me. I slowed dotted debuffed and nuked the pog, and healed the SK. by the time the raid was ready for our pog i was oom and stil had not managed to pull agro so no idea if it's meant to be +400 hate, but it sure used to piss off the mobs | ||

Dots used to have great hate. Rangers could snare, kite and spam flame lick and outhate necros and wizzies throwing their whole might at a mob.
SKs would spam clinging darkness. They would use Disease Cloud only if they need disease resist instead of magic and or AE. +400 hate is pretty rediculous. | ||

Disease Cloud was definitely completely broken and provided unbelievable amounts of hate for a long time, I used it for eons before the big nerf came probably somewhere in PoP or something. I am assuming the current hate it's providing is pretty accurate to Classic then

It is classically accurate and it will not change through the life of this server.

The question is what drew us to classic ... was it bugs or stupid balancing? Or was it something else? When people talk about the things they loved in classic EQ that are just missing from live or from a WoW, what do they say? There are a lot of answers but I never hear broken mechanics, those are usually deterrents. | |||

Also, the devs make sure everything is as classic as possible with the exception of really egregious bugs/exploits, or features that are simply not fixable yet. The aggro drawn from disease cloud doesn't really fit into either of those so I imagine the devs will let it stay. They've never adhered to the standard of what "draws people to classic" more, and for a good reason. Sometimes they exercise discretion and implement things that are eventually classic, (ie: get implemented at the start of kunark) to save themselves the headache. Hence why they aren't going to ban kiting because it was unbanned at some later point in classic anyway (assuming it ever was banned, I find that really hard to believe). Boxing is a whole other issue - it's been debated before so you can go to one of those threads and express your opinion on it if you really feel it should be allowed.
