He /who's in zone like a non-derp, you can't invis through dungeon to reach him, etc, efforts to lurk through wall in zone fail.

Stick to trolling the devs to roll an unfinished box and/or cats.

OP has a point. I've totally ruled out Wizard as a pvp class. 3 or was it 4 Ice Comets? ... in 2000, the Ice Comet made EVERYONE FLEE, period end of story. I don't care about 2001-2012, what class you were, what your MR was...

I bet 80%+ warriors and SKs are going to be ogre/troll, so what's the issue with using one as an example? And she had a little low int, but that's to get resist gear which most pvp wizards will do. And of course casters running around in duos are going to be able to kill solo melee classes, how does that make anything OP?

2 casters > 1 melee

Clearly, every pvp server needs Wizards to have a win button.

If it's a race around Norrath, perhaps yes

That sk also can't port, go to most cities, and has a gigantic exp penalty. I dislike the trolls in this thread but I don't see why a wizard should be able to trade blows with an Ogre SK and win.

You'd have to kite him around and stuff. Or you could port to somewhere your guild is, group, port your entire group to a zone near the SK and hunt him down in minutes.

Seems like a fair trade that he can survive against you 1v1 when you 2 shot every other class besides warrior. You've admitted to being able to wtfpwn most classes in an open setting (where your class shines and ports to). Isn't that enough considering all of the other things Wizards benefit from? Ports, cc, dd, no exp penalty, good faction, ability to solo or group well, etc.

I like these SS threads. Keep them coming! I think what you showed in this thread was that the system seems to be working for the most part. This thread makes me want to play a Melee Class.

I think the system is fairly fine. EQ has never ever been a balanced game and that's what makes it so charming. But all these people running their mouths that melee's are awful are so full of it. Just log on the beta and talk to any level 50 melee and I'm sure not a single one of them will say they are shit.

The only people crying are these forums troll that have absolutely zero experience with pvping on this beta. The only thing they want is to have an advantage with the class the play or a boost to their play style that they will use with their friends.

Lovely nearly one shotted me the other day as a rogue. Every class has it's Plus + and minuses. Saying you CAN'T kill an SK is crazy talk. You also have those clicky wands that you can stack up on and take the SK down i'm sure of it.

I don't remember killing any rogues but If I did then you weren't level 50. Because I don't pay attention or take an SS when I kill people under 50 unless it's a loud mouth in /ooc. Just keep in mind that if you were a WIS/INT user instead of a rogue then instead of me nearly 1 shotting you I would actually have one shotted you.

I don't think I said I can't kill an SK. I can kill anyone but that involves using "utility" items (clickers, charge items). That's also the reason why any class can kill anyone in this game. A halfling rogue can even kill a ogre Sk if he uses certain items while the SK don't. You can even make potions that heal you to full hp over and over by just right clicking them. But that's not the point.

the whole issue of late about melees suck if this or that is irrelevant whethr true or not, most people know what their getting into on a classic era eq emulator 12 years later and if they decided to play a melee class they already know what the decision entails.

What if they are melee bro? Thought it was impossible to kill even afk melees Bro? Confirmed Idiot.
