There is no way to avoid being hit by a summoning mob. Either you get summoned and get hit, or if you're in a better position you don't get summoned and still get hit.

Also FD has a 1.5 second cast time, same as color slant (and half a second more than color flux). So Necro won't be more safe on a charm break than an Enchanter. Plus Enchanters should have two runes up at all times, so the channeling nerf only comes into play once you lose both runes. Because you can sit or camp out with a mob beating you, as long as a rune holds you won't be interrupted. That's an over 1000 HP buffer with fresh runes.
You can still get interrupted through Rune / Bedlam / Manaskin

I never said Necro would be more safe, think you misunderstood my comment.

Also, it's going to depend on the dungeon/area you're in. You can get FD off in time in a lot of circumstances barring a fizzle.

At least if you’re standing next to your pet it won’t summon you on break x

I'm not sure P99 needs more nerfs.

Getting rid of some major ways of soloing will have the effect of losing a lot of the population that cannot commit extensive time shifts in order to group or raid.

More classic is good. But not at the price of turning Blue and Green into another Red ghost-town.

I don't even play a soloing caster or regularly play on P99 at all. I just like the idea of it being there in case I feel the urge to play again one day.

Enchanters who think they must not be beat upon, as they charm the pet that mows the mobs, is indulging the fantasies of the rest of the group.

I call them beta enchanters. Heaven forbid they should make the fucking cleric and tank work half as much as we do.

I go purple, baby. Deal with it.

The train method works because mobs in those areas of Chardok don't summon despite being 51+.

Is that based on classic evidence?

I didn't bother to read any of it, but cry harder.

So far no one has used the acronym "QoL" so we're good, I'm keeping an eye.

The Uber You movement is an evergreen, and so must our fight against it be eternal.
