heh, yes, extremely inaccurate for bards and enchanters. Level 56+ mobs were immune to most stuns, including mezzes, with a few notable exceptions. The cleric stun line should not work on mobs 56+, dazzle will not work 56+, bard mez will not work 56+, whirl, color stuns, etc all useless on mobs 56+.

I remember this clearly, as healing mobs like Myconid Adepts were very annoying when you didn't have an enchanter with GoK to interupt their cheals.

Enchanters get glamour of kintaz at level 54, a relatively high mana cost mez compared to dazzle. It allows them to mez mobs up to level 57, but the spell is 125 mana for only 9 ticks - 36 seconds. This is what is used on juggs in sebilis, on mobs in the upper islands of air, etc.

At 59 enchanters gain Rapture, an unresistable mez that works on mobs up to level 61. Rapture lasts 7 ticks (42 seconds) and had a recast of 24 seconds, meaning you were restricted to mezzing one mob at a time in most cases if those mobs were 58+.

what about soothes and lulls? will camps be breakable?

You should probably mention this here:

was it a hard level cap, or was it just extremely difficult to land a mez on 45+ (or later, 56+) mobs?

The pre-50 lull->pacify line all capped at level 55 mobs, but there are 51+ lulls available to clerics and enchanters, like wake of tranquility, that function on mobs as high as level 60.

Camps are certainly breakable, as there is never a limit on root spells, and the 56+ restrictions don't apply to the vast majority of grind camps in kunark. That said, when going deep into sebilis to camp myconids or juggs, a good monk is very valuable.

They should just remove the Hybrid Penalties at Kunark release -- I think we would see alot of people dropping their mages/druids if they were able to play a Hybrid with a reasonable XP gain.

Would be awesome in one respect, but i doubt they'll do it

[fugazi]

It would give us a nice extra bunch of tanks and less soloists, that's for sure.

p1999 = solo server. just less so than the rest of the emu servers

[parlay1]

Do they plan to stop releasing the expansions here on p1999 eventually before they get to what ruined the game?

If you're good at your class, chances are you'll always find a group, hybrid penalty or not. It's not going anway any time soon, deal with it.

Note! I'm singling out you because you seem to be the most vocal about hybrid exp penalty. It sucks, i agree, but it's not gonna change because you want it to. Make yourself invaluable to groups, pull massive exp without wiping, get added to friends lists, repeat as necessary til 60.

You are definitely right. there are plenty of groups out here, and if you do well and friend people it isnt super tough. But there are definitely an over abundance of nec/mag/dru's on our server, and the penalty has a lot to do with it. I've kind of come to peace with the fact that it'll go away when it goes away (mainly because i've fallen in love with my Enchanter, love grouping love soloing and my class excels at both, with a minimal penalty) BUT its just a shit sandwich, and i hate them damn shit sandwich's [You must be logged in to view images.
