Velious class

[koros]

There are 2 ridiculous OP level 35ish mobs in iceclad. One can log onto EQ mac and investigate. One can take unslowed Lodi to 70%.

Lodi summons like hell. No way a squishy enchanter is going to have much of a chance to solo it. That is the problem Druids have with it. That is why I said "Ogre" Shaman. Can't be frontal stunned so can keep casting while summoned. That turtle has a shit pot full of HP. It is a LONG fight.

I have seen Nerco's chain cast pets and kill it too while wearing out their Lifetap button lol. It is a exciting mob to kill. But in the beginning no one will ever have a chance to solo it. It will be perma camped by guilds.

A lot of people that have level 60 toons are going to be unhappy in Velious because there is not that much content to kill solo at that level. And there is no Noob zones and only 3 cities to bind in and 2 of them are next to each other. The nice areas will be locked up by the top end guilds. Best to be like level 30 through 45 in Velious in the beginning if you are not in the 2 top guilds to have a lot of fun in it.

Well, Velious was geared towards the majority of people playing the game at the time, who had at least one 35+ character (not 50+ like here). I think people will still have a lot of fun because of the addition of new higher leveling zones. I'm sure we won't see as much of the overcrowding in KC. Plus new content will open up other spawns.

Clearly you don't EQ as well as you think you EQ.

and that turtle has 32k. An enchanter with a quadding/hasted level 35, 32k hp pet that hits well above level in damage, will easily be able to solo a slowed 60 turtle.

As I said, the pet with no additional interference can take it down to 70% hp.

I think much depends on whether AA's will be introduced. Is this confirmed?

All the AA source code has been stripped out of the project, according to devs. 99.9% chance we will never see it on this server.
Plus it is not classic and doesn't fall within the scope of the server anyway.

It's been nearly a decade, so events are a tad foggy. I do remember part of what made an Enchanter a bit stupid was Dire Charm AA, and having the ability to farm MQ armour parts in Kael with a cleric partner for CH. I also remember a DC Enchanter soloing Wuoshi until the DC level cap was nerfed in pretty much the same fashion.
