Enchanters didn't charm until PoP dire charm AA

[RecondoJoe]

I always lol when people act like players didn’t know to max charisma for enchanters and this is some kind of revelation that happened recently

Most of the people I grouped with has significantly better gear than players on P99

I recently inspected a rogue on P99 blue and gasped at his armor. People who main rogues there are rare, and seeing one with good gear is rare... and the I realized that even though his gear was dreamy by p99 standards that it was absolutely Garbo compared to my rogues gear 20 years ago.

I feel like p99 is contractually obligated to implement as much charm nerf code as possible and that they can invent to retain permissions to be a classic server.

It’s not even that you’re delusional, you’re just straight up lying.

They didn’t, heck most people on this server don’t even know how critical it is.

News flash, most people on P99 are really bad. I've said this from day one. It was not normal to have a group full of kids who spent 65% of the game AFK, expecting to get carried, refusing to run anywhere without SoW, or being scared to pull mobs in a basic bitch dungeon.

PS. This guide was written in 1999, dumbass. "My research has proven to me that CHA has a profound impact on charming, without a doubt"

It’s pretty sad that you seem to have negative things to say about/experiences on this server yet you can’t seem to stop coming back to it. Stop being so soft. Don’t bother with P99 if you don’t like it.

Remember when you deleted your characters and posted about it here and everyone was like “um k? Cool thanks for letting us know? K bye”

It’s impossible to have bad gear on a TLP. Your 72 man raid gets 100% of raid mobs that spawn every week. On top of that being able to get Kronos to sell for RMT means the top droppable gear from the previous expansion is available for sale in Baz as soon as it’s been replaced. Saying TLP players have worse gear than p99 is just not accurate.

im talking about on p99
not on tlp

like most of the rogues i see have bad gear on p99

and yeah tlp is hella easy... i can go farm warrens for like 30 minutes, and make enough plat to buy an upgrade that woulda been considered insanely good item 20 years ago

That's pretty robust (like most P99 details)

There maybe some random break murder your-ass component that is missing from our charm that is resulting in the 65 tick average and general user friendliness of charms here.

jibartik is getting dangerously close to snortles level of dissent...

Things I personally had no idea about when I leveled an enchanter to lev 35 in vanilla EQ:

1. Gnomes could see through walls (I never used gnome illusion)

2. Lull didn't require line of sight and could be used with gnome illusion to lull mobs multiple rooms away using the /target command

3. GCD clickies meant you could stun and re-charm or mez before a mob could hit me. I just face tanked the mobs after using stun and prayed I didn't get interrupted while trying to re-charm or mez

Also

On P99 it costs about 1k pp to get enough gear for ~205 unbuffed charisma. I had 210 unbuffed charisma by level 18 on P99. I wasn't even charming often because the animation was still better than mob dps at these levels. On vanilla EQ I never had nearly the charisma I have on P99, I think I ended up having around 150 and I had far more pp on my vanilla EQ enchanter by level 35 than I did on my p99 enchanter by level 18

I think I grouped maybe 2 or 3 times in vanilla EQ. I remember them vividly because being praised for handling trains well was what made enchanter my favorite class, but I still solo'ed my entire time in vanilla EQ. About 80% of that was attempting to charm solo

But, by all means, program in an artificial break to charm occurring every 3-5 minutes on P99, and have a message sent to the player in chat saying "you have been afflicted by people's hazy memories of what vanilla EQ was like"

I'm all for it. Got the server's 9520258 necro alt ready to go
