The end of Velious - class discussion.

[Atmas]

Yeah I felt bad for enchanters in Velious.

Back on the main point. Wizards work/worked as intended. Good burst dps on raids and the intended lack of sustainability. Orginial EQ was great because it gave classes checks like that. Did anyone ever read the WoW description for Death Knights? I'm paraphrasing but it really did go something like this:

Death Knight

Description:
yada yada yada
.... ..... ... ....
Stengths:
... ..... ....
... ..... ....
Fighting gives rune power so as long as you keep fighting you can have unlimited rune power
... ..... ....

Weakness:
Your attacks need rune power

Anyway what I am getting at is I hate fantasy RPGs where one class can do everything with no real failing. At one point Death Knights, a hybrid tank class, topped the charts on AoE damage.
