Ninja Patch to channeling made playing casters frustrating AF

[Tann]

the brief time I played on Quarm really was eye-opening as to how busted channeling is here, I was told that it gets better there post 50 but my enc was getting beat to shit anytime charm broke early and couldn't even channel an aoe stun until the 30's.

Yeah IMO this is the thing that makes people think Enchanter charming isn't classic as a whole. The other mechanics are fine. It's that on live channeling was much harder and so if you were trying to cast while getting hit it was basically a total tossup on whether you'd survive (unless you were in the top end of the level range IIRC). A root break on top of a charm break? Forget about it.

This moron spent years stalking me on forums here whenever I pointed out that Enchanter was OP due to channeling.



























Hilarious.

Literally like every time you went on some long-winded, whiny rant about Enchanters being non-classic in every way, I said the only thing we know is non-classic is channeling

What else did he say was non-Classic?

It's been awhile (fortunately) since he posted his rants, but at one point in time IIRC he was essentially asserting that the entirety of the mechanics must be unclassic (Charm lasts too long, CHA has too much of an impact, etc.) without providing direct evidence to support it outside of anecdotal claims (such as well people didn't charm kill extensively in 1999 so it must be unclassic on here).

CHA has too much of an impact

I'm under the impression Torven or another TAKP affiliate proved that one true with an era-client decompile.
