Monk FD doesn't fail after ~100 skill points in....any fails afterwards are user error (ie; left autoattack on, timed casters poorly, stood up before mobs reset).

Have you ever played a monk? FD fails all the time after 100 skill.

Wedar, I like the way you think. I don't necessarily agree with every individual point, but the general idea that epic quests should be more consistently "epic" and the effects should be more interesting is dead on. It's also clear the quest makers were not in communication with each other when designing these quests since the difficulty varies so dramatically.

I'd argue that it was intentional, to an extent. Cleric and rogue epics are the backbone of high end raiding and none of the others are close in necessity.

True enough. I wouldn't want to raid in a world where cleric epics are as rare as mage epics...

You know something is wrong when rogue and SK are tied at 3 votes.

I remember SK epic being a real bitch during live Kunark. Fear nightmare drop rates were atrocious and finding Llrahnc (spelling) up was rare indeed.

For p99, Mage.

Warrior epic quest felt epic fa sho.

I'm really curious now, what makes the mage quest so hard? Most of my initial impressions of epic difficulty seem to match the consensus, but I seem to have been off on Mage and Necro by a fair amount as I had them sort of middle of the pack in terms of difficulty based on a casual readthrough of their wiki pages.

An Elementalist's power comes from the Orb of Mastery. The Elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water are contained within the Orb. The Master of Elements hold the Orb. He can be found in the Plane of Air. No mortal has been able to contain the true power of the Orb. Trilith Magi'kot presented himself to the Master of Elements and the Orb of Mastery. The power of elements brought agony to his mind and body. Magi'kot was not of Balance. Fire burned his eyes unto blindness, Wind put his mind into a spin, Earth entered his body and aged him like the mountains, and finally, Water washed his memories of mortal life away. Failing his test, the Orb exacted its terrible price, and now Magi'kot is part of the Orb.
