Stop stressing out about nerfed items... :)

[Striiker]

Some of my favorite memories in EQ took place in the old world classic zones.. I had a great time in Cazic Thule as an enchanter saving the group from certain disaster. I had a great time with the guilds which I was in, hanging out camping for a SMR in Lower Guk. Heck, I even had some fun waiting in Drelzna's room for the JBoots. If I ever go insane, I am sure I'll wallpaper my room with the same pattern in that little room. :-) Yeah it drove me bonkers but it was great fun waiting in line with everyone else!
Don't worry about the stuff you might miss out / have missed out on obtaining. If you don't have it, you won't miss it. :-)

When you see a monk that is conning blue killing more mobs then your full group because he got fungi robe , its a little saddening

Yeah but if you think about it... he either spent a ton of time farming green mobs for $$ to buy it, or farming the actual mob that drops it... so much time that its probably enough for you to level from 1 - 60 in that time.

So in the end of the day the equation balances out. All the advantage he is getting now he paid for earlier [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Eh, that robe is common right now. See several a day.

The fungi robe will get nerfed and he will be left with a an ugly robe that has absolutely zero stats that a monk would want.

If you are referring to the tunic, that will always be in the game so the item does not apply to this thread which is about items that are removed from loot tables.

If your group of 6 people can't kill a mob faster than a solo monk that cons blue to you then it is indeed sad... a very very sad group. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Uh, I think the fungi tunic is more along the lines of increasing HP regen in a similar way that clarity increases mana regen. It's not going to be game breaking especially to the extent that you just said.. If a full group is outpaced by a solo monk like that, it's time to find a new group!

This post shouldnt even warrant a response but....

+15 hp regen / tick < random blue wanders in DL that hit for 120. Good try though.

When you factor monk AC and avoidance, that 15hp regen a tick starts to make a big difference. Fungi tunic makes soloing immensely easier 50+ as a monk.

But yeah, the guy you were responding to did overstate the effect of +15 hp regen. It's not > than a group...not even close.

I wonder in general, if the nerfed items should have been put up on the server at all this time around. After all, the experts know what item will get nerfed and have an idea when. There is now a huge rush to all those nerfed items because the people know they are going to get nerfed and they know it will happen soon. The percentage of players who own a nerf-item will be so much higher on nerf day than the percentage ever was on live because of that knowledge. And their advantage will be huge. Why else would the top guild go into poopsock mode to get all these items.

Just look at the advantage people bound at the firepot room will have. So much faster to mobilize a raid. They will beat ALL raiding guilds created after the nerf day. I wouldn't expect a single guild during classic time with more than 50% firepot-bound casters. But I bet the top raiding guild now are approaching 100%.

Given, I am a late come to the classic game (a month after Velious went live) and most of those nerfed items have mythical status to me, just as if they never existed. And I don't miss them. It's just like a win in the lottery, woould be nice to win, but nothing to lose sleep about.
