They patched in-combat bandage trick?

[Kanuvan]

That was the only way you could play melee solo and do anything reasonable in the game without a fungi tunic

Which really isnt classic ;p

[Nuggie]

True on both statements.

No? Extend your horizons, good sir. The game has plenty of options for you.

Massively Multiplayer.

My diabolical schemes to bring attention to this issue finally paid off.

It’s like charming merchants. No one saw it in classic.

I won't sugar coat it.. removing combat bind wound made it impossible for me to continue my solo non-twink warrior on green. It wasn't required for every single fight but it saved my characters life several times.

Sorry you can't play without cheating. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yep, it sure is a blow for soloing melees. Now they can join their rightful place in balanced groups watching enchanters solo with their charmed merchant pet!

I’ll be a lot slower at levelling warrior alts now. May even need to stop rolling halflings and half elves!

If p99 RNG behaved like live did it would be possible to solo an untwinked warrior. As it is, up around L20/L30 the occasional bullshit death (happened on live, but far more rarely) will cost far more XP than you gain from your kills.

Hybrids and Monks can solo without twinking, all the way to 60 if you want. Warriors and Rogues are screwed in this regard. (Do not talk to me about Bards. Bard are not hybrids, Bards are absurdly OP casters that occasionally masquerade as hybrids.)
