Open Letter to Nilbog & Co: Raid Item Nerfs

[arsenalpow]

Make soulfire and reaper equip to use only
Add cast time to idol
Add cast time to wort pot
Consider nerfs to bladestopper, puppet strings, and prayers of life

Strings with a cast time will still work for things like OT hammers, but it will nerf the unclassic usage of building threat like with a midnight mallet.

On Phinny taunt works, so we just tank switch with that. /shrug

Lets get a taunt fix up in here - what the heck is broken with ours?

( Taunt does work on P99 but not as consistent, ask Bellringer about Statue taunting )

Taunt can fail but it's not a complete failure. I'd say taunt works 60-75% of the time. AE taunt off the AA snaps aggro like a charm though.

I'm against mallets etc for the record; however, they are the only thing removing platinum from our economy at a considerable rate. That's more important than making raids slightly easier.

I'm sure strings, prayers, and wort pots are also bleeding plat. For the lessor guilds port stones also cost a bit (thanks cucs)

real classic is 51% owned the mob.

Never add non-classic cast times to clickies. That's red level stuff.

After the timeline is done... I can get behind making Reaper SK only and SoulFire Paladin only though, which was a Luclin change. 30 second cast time on Reaper also happened around then.

As for DA Idols... You're currently not allowed to use Spirit of Scale or Crown of Rile spam during races. If they wanted they could extend that to no DA Idols. But all that will push is more 60 bards with group DA.

The more realistic solution Nilbog and Haynar are working on. No more ToV bind spots and 600' or so Lazy Aggro range. Both of which would negate the typical style cross zone pulls and would allow them to remove the footrace rules in ToV entirely allowing them to just pull however they wish or clear however they wish. Making ToV a no CSR zone where the only real rules need to be don't purposefully train another guild and respect FTE. Without those two simple rules if you went full chaos, I am not sure if anything could get killed.

If you accept bullshit psychological models, OP, Kubler/Ross suggests you are in stage 3:

1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

You need to skip to stage 5 and realize that raiding on this server WILL ALWAYS SUCK. The staff here want a competitive server, i.e. they enjoy watching players get up at 5AM on New Years for a server reset. Since the content is not challenging and never will be, Project 1999 raiding will always be about poopsocking. It has been this way for the entire life of the server because that is the way the staff want it.

So either a) accept that it sucks and play here anyway, b) move to another server like Phinigel/TAKP/P2002, or c) go outside.
