However, unlike here live Enchanters did almost no charming in groups. It was seen as offering only slightly more DPS, in exchange for a much higher risk of death ... something Nilbog has unfortunately still failed to reproduce after all his work here.

Yes because there's nothing to reproduce since the mechanics are classic. The goal isn't to reproduce making people do X because people at the time didn't realize how much of a benefit it would be to do Y. The goal is to reproduce the mechanics

also another huge problem is like... why dont tanks deal damage on pantheon? Like dude, Warriors are serious DPS on EQ. I prefer duo'ing with Warriors on my Shaman because mobs die so dang fast. But also Paladins have their moment to shine, particularly in pre-kunark when they get a ghoulbane and are destroying stuff in UR and lower guk. SK have their niche too and can actually solo really well and stuff like that.

On Pantheon tanks dont feel like this at all. It feels like the entire purpose of tanks is just to get hit, and pretty much do nothing else. I lol when warrior tanks in my group dual wield because it isn't like they deal damage anyways.

They need to seriously make Tank classes actually fun to play. Like on EQ right now i could make a warrior, paladin, monk or SK and be excited about it playing it even if I never joined a group. On Pantheon tank is literally the most boring thing you could imagine because you don't even do anything.

There's no flavor to it. I don't even know what class the tank in my group is half the time because they are basically all the same thing and do nothing unique or exciting.

I think there was a big change in the zeitgeist between 1999 and 2002 regarding enchanters.

Yeah, charm never breaks on p99 except all the billions of time it breaks within the first tic on a mob you've tashed and given -40 worth of negative MR gear to.

Sometimes it breaks really quickly sometimes it doesn't, just RNG for ya lol.

I do agree that charm killing wasn't really a thing in the early days of live, although I remember it starting to be done a decent amount in Velious. Charmed pets as DPS in groups also wasn't something that happened frequently until the end of the classic era to my recollection. But as has been discussed endlessly on here, there's no indication that the mechanics we have currently are incorrect...it's just a combo of people learning how to do new cool things with class/game mechanics, Enchanters not being that popular initially, totally unreliable internet service and laggy computers in some cases, etc.

I mean shit I remember a brief period of time where people thought a group would share exp with a pet lol

Yes there is. Charm and Lull are very unclassic on this server:

Hmm interesting. Is that saying that you have to beat a roll of 10 in order to avoid a break and that here you have up to 200 in your roll but there you have 99?
