Speaking as a dev and a 50 enchanter it feels overpowered to me. The long standing issue as a DEV team that we have always asked for was proof of whether something was different on live than it is on emu. I have been unable to find it. Once someone does it will be changed.

It definitely isn't acting like it was back in '99.

I remember reading a patch note on it I think. Some of the commentary about the fix was they "broke it" on purpose - as it was overpowered. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Why edit this? I read the original message and it's an opinion/statement that should be included in this discussion.

Because hes a dev, we have had the discussion, and there are 3 50 enchanters on the server, it implies that everyone is crooked

Perhaps - I took it more as a you won't change anything til you have proof kind of thing. Which was fine with me, and fair - even if GMs were on the other side of the argument.

No im all for changing it, but we are not going to change our standards and procedures in doing so. Comments like that from a Dev do not belong on the public forums.

Fair Enough.

Haven't found the patch notes as of yet, but the following link may be useful;

Look at the comments, they give a description more akin to what I remember. Specifically, WTYH would break constantly under melee attacks.

allakhazam keeps patch notes from every patch

This spell was horrible on live. Here it is actually worth using.
Please fix it so I can put that spell in the back of my spellbook and forget about it like I did 10 years ago.
Fix Alliance first!
