Is Shaman the BEST all-around class in the game?

[shovelquest]

The only rason any of you have an enchanter is because of youtube.

That's the keystone to unlocking the knowledge of how to charm.

Nobody who is playing an enchanter today hasn't watched a video about every camp they ever did.

As if Im going to hear that charm is powerful, then go use it successfully. No way. Im going back to grouping after 1 death.

By I'm, I mean 99.9% of players.

I think the reality is somewhere in the middle: charming was more difficult on live, mostly due to a combination of more frequent charm breaks and less effective channeling skill. But there were players successfully utilizing charm back then. It was just much riskier than on P1999 (especially with worse hardware and internet) and therefore wasn't nearly as common as it is here, and that isn't just due to the knowledge gap. Charming here already requires a lot of attention and care, and on the live servers it probably felt like walking on a knife's edge the whole time, with very frequent charm breaks that were difficult to recover from, making the process dangerous and inefficient unless you were very skilled and attentive. That being the case, it would be far easier and preferable for most Enchanters to just group for XP, which most of them obviously did as we all remember.

Yeah this pretty much is what i think. I mean lets not forget I and many were playing full screen UI, my PC was not a gaming pc, so framerate was always an issue in fullscreen.

I aint gonna be stunning and charming anything, my gear was trash too and I thought I was pretty good at eq [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not a dig at anyone in particular but …

… most people are, in actuality, not smart or gifted

math statistics be math statistics and bell curves exist

This game is relatively simplistic so you dont need to be "ahead of the (bell) curve" to be successful. Sure, excelling at difficult things like actual math and being civil to each other requires higher levels.

But ya right. Most of us are just dumbarses. And I for one am happily ignorant of my stupidity.

Agreed. I got my ench into the low 50’s without a YouTube video.
