If I ever was embarrassed about something that happened in a video game I'd have serious problems to consider. Unlike most people on P99 I actually played classic EQ. I quit right before Kunark and came back late in Velious just before Luclin. There are probably like 5 people on P99 who remember classic era with the same detail I do.

NO ONE was leveling Enchanter in classic EQ unless they hated themselves. By far statistically it was the least popular class. That is why I hate P99 Enchanter so much because I basically want to play Green launch, relive my classic glory, and then quit when Kunark comes out and yet there is Enchanter the most popular class totally inverted from classic.

I was playing actually fun classes and cybering elfs not posting on the SOE forums about why my class seems to be worse with every patch. To answer your question, I share it because those who know classic know I'm right. Those who don't will keep thinking their memories of Luclin and PoP mean anything. One of my recent favorite reads was archived Enchanter posts where everyone agreed they don't even memorize Mez. That's how broken Enchanter was. When they fixed Mez which was broken in about 10 different ways, Enchanters complained they couldn't DoT mobs anymore because they used to be able to DoT a Mezzed mob. I could play P99 Enchanter well but I don't want to, it's a near zero downtime OP class and I only played EQ as something to do to make things I didn't want to do more enjoyable like cleaning the house. I can't clean the house if I have to keep charming and have no reason to stop. I like quadding, I like downtime breaks for cybering elfs and tidying my study.

You weren't there, poser...

I mean you’re right that in the initial classic old world era not many people were playing enchanters because they didn’t realize what they could do. But the classic era overall is old world through Velious and by Kunark there were lots of enchanters everywhere. People had really started to realize the power of the class. Did they have charm killing down to an exact science like they do now? Definitely not, but the number of enchanters increased a ton through Kunark.

I'm definitely not and that I was able to make it to level 40 indicates how broken they are. On classic Live I tried Enchanter many times and only made it to level 8 on a successful attempt. It's going to happen though. I shouldn't be able to play Enchanter to 40 something is wrong here. Quite literally I would still run into rooms with 5 mobs and win. My only downtime was waiting on HP regen with troll illusion. Yet I didn't use clickies. I didn't do anything. I just walked in, casted through 5 mobs hitting me to charm one, backed up and let them all burn it down and then used racial hide to nuke it and get full exp then repeat for the next one leaving me almost dead but with fat XP stacks and a nice AFK break to clean my house. Apparently that isn't how Enchanter is supposed to work but it works just fine on P99. Anyone who hasn't played Enchanter yet on P99 give it a try because it's ridiculous overpowered even more than you can possibly imagine from watching others but it won't be soon.

k so you're a terrible player in general

got it

didn't read

also no one cares

people rather play everquest than scroll through 50 pages of everquest archives (lol!)

[starkind]

I care.

A lot.

About the integrity of the game.

P.s. uproot dragons.

Make green 2.0 the server you can KS.

Let u.n. stay on blue.

none of your toons made it past level 20

also you're probably too dumb to play enchanter

also you never raided once in your life

also cope + you're cringe

TLDR: so for me anyway, game knowledge really was everything when it comes to p99 success (leveling without dying)

I don't know why this stuff gets defended. Spells got interrupted on live and they basically don't here.

People were speculating why charm wasn't so incredibly OP on live, its simply because here you can cast through attacks with a pretty high success rate. On live you would pray your spell worked and then when it didn't you were dead.

Would this code affect NPC channeling too?
