Spells: lull/pacify aggroing mobs

And this server is obviously NOT "eq classic." You can't use the argument "it's not classic" when pets, charms, and numerous other things are nerfed because they are deemed too powerful here. Any argument using the phrase "it's not classic" is hypocrisy. Give a reason why something shouldn't be in the game other than "it's not classic."

Like this: Selo's breaking root/snare is overpowered. It should not be implemented.

I think if it's classic and not an exploit, it should be in until the point in the timeline where it was fixed. The examples you mentioned were nerfed to be classic, not because the devs arbitrarily decided they were too powerful. Sometimes they may selectively take longer to fix things that were kind of overpowered (charm/swarm kiting for bards, or pets taking the delay of their weapons while still doing normal damage, for example), but they don't keep things that aren't classic unless they can't change it (because of a client issue for example) or unless it's absurdly gamebreaking to the point of de-legitimizing the server (2-boxing, ivandyr's hoop, etc.)

You sound mad.

Sorry, they're not going to allow players to run around high level dungeons because a couple of mouthbreathers said, "It's classic! I have no proof, but there's this imaginary DOZEN of people who agree with my retarded idea that agnostic enchanters could alliance themselves to immunity!"

Also, they're not going to let bards and their groups run around immune to root and snare. That's fucking retarded, and so are you.

Root and Snare:

Root-type spells and 'snare' type spells now use a separate spell effect.

Previously, 'Root' spells would overwrite any snare effect upon the target. When the root would wear off, the target began moving at full speed. With this change, when root wears off, snare will still be in effect. This has a few added effects on the other end.

For instance, root will no longer cancel SoW or Journeyman's Boots effects. It also allowed us to correct a long-standing bug that was allowing bards to cancel root on themselves by playing Selo's Accelerando if Selo's was in effect at the time that the bard was rooted. As mentioned in a previous patch where the first part of this bug was fixed, this was not the intended effect.

I don't know if you're trying to say we should allow an obvious bug to exist until Kunark because it was in, or supporting my case that it is a bug and won't be in because of its obvious state of being fucking stupid.

supporting.
