Druid run kiting DoTs nefed?

[Crusader]

As a returning classic player who played in 2000, I distinctly remember that druid run kiting DoTs were not penalized. Possibly Verant patched that in and later rescinded it, like many other things they did, but I have spoken to several old timer classic druid players and none remember run kiting DoTs being penalized. If you are a classic original EQ druid player, could you please respond to this post to clarify this.

DoTs weren't nerfed till WAAAAY later.

Not sure why this is in P99. I've always wondered that.

At this point in the timeline dots lose a third of their potency if the mob isn't rooted or feared. (right?)

Nobody likes it, but it doesn't stop a lot of druids quadding [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Did they do that during Kunark then remove it only to bring it back much later? I also don't remember a DoT nerf this early in the timeline.

I think this was discussed before and somebody posted the live patch notes to support it. Coupling this with no snare/root stack at the moment makes being a soloing Druid a little more inefficient and dangerous. Oh well..

A minor inconvenience.

If you've got 100% proof of it not being in at this point, post it in the bugs section for Nilbog to look at. If its posted in server chat its likely just going to get lost.

Reroll necro if you're having a hard time, we love a good fear kite [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Patch notes supporting the nerf at this server timeline. Root and snare didn't stack until January 9, 2001, about 1 month after velious
