The evidence is dubious at best. There's no way knights would be able to cast through hits if the proposed changes took effect.
FoL and the stat taps which are the aggro spells are sub-2 second casts. It might take some timing, but in theory it might have little impact on what they can do. It might add some peril to rogues and other top dps though as an interrupted spell might lose the #1 hate position if it happens at the beginning of the fight.

I think a lot of enchanters are going to be put out of business. I'm an enchanter main, so I just naturally play cleric that way. I'm not used to just sitting semi-afk and having no situational awareness. Should be interesting when the patch drops, I just hope it's not an over-correction based on flimsy evidence.
What are the change of the futur patch that will change class power ? I've heard about bug fixing like the weapon swap that let you keep your weapon dmg.

But what would affect shm and chanter ?

They are talking about the channeling nerf. To put it simply, some future P99 patch may make it harder to successfully cast spells while you are getting hit by melee attacks. This is detrimental to Enchanters, as Enchanters get hit with melee attacks when dealing with things like charm breaks. Enchanters would have a harder time casting their stun spells when a charm break occurs, as a simple example. This is especially true if the charmed pet was hasted.

Shaman is the best starting class.

Pick whatever class you think is going to be the most fun and whatever character model you think looks the best. It's an extremely long road to 60.

At 60 maybe, but from 1 to 59 they are by far the most diverse class in classic EQ.
