Open Letter to Nilbog & Co: Raid Item Nerfs

[Dolalin]

Raiding here is a bit whack and unclassic due to this stuff, I say change it.

[lurk]

Its classic. Deal with it. I think it adds depth to the game.

As for people talking about taunt, it doesnt work 60+. In classic it was common to use WS ranger to buuld agro before assist. AE taunt brought instant agro, and fungus beast glands too which made the decision to nerf recharging easy. AoW was such a pita during velious because a smooth tank switch was fuckin hard. AE taunt changed the game for warriors, plus weapons like BoC, bloodfrenzy and hatebringer.

Interesting that you mention a tough tank switch during Velious... Probably because mallets weren't common knowledge. That was classic, so how can I "deal with it" with all this easy mode stuff running rampant?

Is there documented proof that people used mallets in classic? Even as a classic warrior I never heard of this being done :/

And out of curiosity, do mallets even work on phinny? Are they used?

On live I app'd to the local uber guild right between kunark and velious. I recall a conversation I had with another warrior in the guild about aggro and mallets were brought up. So they were used at least that early.

It's pathetic raiding guilds on blue have to use all these items.

Agreed. Many times I have corner tanked raid mobs standing on the corpse of a ranger. Felt goog.

Why does red have every thing the OP said implemented + no recharging.

[Cecily]

Because it's a bigger deal in PvP.

Personally i had never heard of mallets on live. I read every class forum, FoH forum and most top guilds updates... when chat channels dropped i was in all class channels, modded one and in one restricted to just raid chars. Fungusbeast glands were what were abused and caught attention of devs. I was pretty serious about my farming, often throwing away chardok slow sticks on pets to see how far i could push it. Call me ignorant but if i knew about mallets back then id keep plenty just for the slow.

Edit: im an autist. Really havent even played p99 for years but i still hang around for the nostalgia
