Circle kiting needs to be nerfed

[Shatford]

I've been in RM too, trying to camp hill giants with other people. We are all getting along, tagging a HG here and there and sharing the spawns when a bard comes in, outruns all of us and tags all HGs, leaving the rest of us scratching our balls. We can't compete, doesn't matter if we send a tell to the bard in question, we get "Its FFA, deal with it" in response. I realize this isn't indicative of ALL bards, but it is ONLY bards that do that sort of thing. Never had an issue with any other class.

I propose that the Dev team set aside Velious tinkering to implement gopher holes randomly throughout all outdoor zones. Gopher holes would inflict instant damage equal to d200 x run speed modifier with the chance to strike critically, snare, root and apply Gopher Dung - 1hr negative 100 CHA (for the shame) debuff w/ d100 - tick duration chance to proc Gangrene a 3.6 hour ramping disease dot dealing x + 1 damage per tick for duration. Thoughts?

Let's work towards solutions, not whine about problems ^^

You haven't seen shamans root rot 5 seafuries at once or druids/wizards kite one seafury while they wait for 3 more to pop?

I believe 2 boxing should be allowed. 3 4 5 and 6 boxxing, no because thats how you truely kill this game, but I have known plenty of people that boxed in early EQ and did fine. Most of the time eq is slow paced enough where you can play 2 characters effectively 3-6 you start dropping off significantly unless you are running software, macros, scripts ect... This is the one thing that does annoy me about p99 is the lack of 2 boxing.

I don't think it should be allowed. I think I should clarify the point I'm getting at.

I just find it funny how many people throw out not classic or classic to so many things. I LOVE that here is no boxing allowed. I just find it ridiculous the amount of BS spewed by people that aren't classic and is classic. For example, bards did what the OP is complaining about all the time. The vast majority of the playerbase didn't have bards though that they did this with. So how come this isn't banned? That's mostly the implications of my post, is how come there is something like item recharging which the vast majority of the playerbase didn't know about, but all hell breaks lose for something like boxing? I just think people on these forums needs to get their priorities right and know what they are talking about before screaming not classic and classic at BS.

Real bards tank in dungeons.

That is all.
