The exact opposite. Quad DA is dumb and should never work in those instances, because NPC's (especially dragons!) should have enough brain to stop chasing a single irrelevant player when there are 100 others invading their lair.

What's fun about mage is doing big DPS, which is mainly applicable outside of raids since their damage spells suck on raid targets, and being able to "tank" with chain-summoned pets, which is now broken.

I think they are confusing mages with wizards.

Um, what?

Mage = coths, quad DA, and maybe mod rods when cleric numbers are tight.

Wiz = Porlos and TL boxes, relevant dmg on kunark stuff too

It's not a "crew": it's one guy, an Enchanter, who occaisionally two-boxes a Cleric to rez himself.

If they are multi boxing, you should report them.

Oh he does a lot more than that :

-Abused pet auto tracking which got Rogean to nerf it
-Currently auto tracks in plane of hate via his ranger Doak after they nerfed pet-tracking.

Guy just can't help but cheat lol

Gonna probably end on Green like it did on Blue : a big RMT wave

Just sad that the staff can't do anything against scripting

It's not even that they have to do something special with scripting: just look at the logs and you'll see his 2-boxed cleric logging on within seconds of his death every time he dies. Just give me a few minutes with the database tables that track logins and character deaths and I could write the query proving he's a cheater for them.
