Project 1999 Specific Nerfs: Why?

[thetrueninja12]

As I understand it, there have been a series of (what I personally view to be) unnecessary nerfs to LOW LEVEL Shaman DoTs, including Sicken and other such spells. Nerfs that are only specific to the Project 1999 emulation, the likes of which have not taken place during the original EverQuest era to my knowledge. I would like to verify whether this is true, and if it is, would like to understand the reasoning behind it.

These spells have absolutely no impact on the game during higher end content in the slightest and really only serve as a necessity to the levelling process to those who are just starting out. If this is in fact true and that the nerfs only exist in Project 1999 (which I must remind you attempts to recreate the genuine EverQuest experience), I must then beg the following question... Why?

It appears I got my facts wrong. I apologise for the thread. Nothing to see here folks! Just the mindless ramblings of a dumb dumb.
