So just curious... My wizard was 37 when luclin hit and I used to sell ports to gear my main (warrior) I remember port in being the nexus. Where was this wolf? I dont remember wolves in nexus. Did the port in originally take you into some other zone? I also didn't port up to luclin for a couple months prob until I upgraded comp. Perhaps they moved it? Also don't remember many wolves in luclin except in that vampire zone. Some wolf like things in scarlet desert or wtf ever zone near the Gray or whatever zone ssra was in.
I'm really more interested in this wolf.

Fwiw I remember when focus items came in, after Luclin. Can't recall a single thing outside of Ft and AoB prior too that. But then I can't remember a lot from 14 years ago.

Edit: mm found several wolf types in dawn shroud peaks I imagine I only ported from nexus I really didn't remember so many ports. Damn wolves

Found this luclin wiz portal list

lol thats rich coming from somebody whose idea of a successful server is 20 people peak so he can know when someone logs an alt, so he can follow him across the server to grief him [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess thread was useful in getting people to debate about velious, str and weakness of caster melee etc...

I cant remember balance much because i didnt neckbeard it like kergan said, i do remember as a wiz having a hard ass time trying to root hardcore (usually melees) twinks

[Kergan]

I disagree. I think getting casters out of the instagibbed by monk/warrior/rogue disc'ing range shifts a lot more of the balance than you think. Priests get huge heal upgrades, wizards get icy spear, etc. I'd also argue being able to cast a lot more spells on a tank of mana with the Velious gear upgrades makes a huge difference as well.

Melees are pretty much stat capped already, AC doesn't effect spells. So really they are getting +HP and a new weapon. Casters are getting bigger mana pools, way more HP and some new spells.

Also keep in mind the 2h dmg buff, monk triple attack, offensive/weapon skill increases, etc don't happen until nearly a year into Velious.

My neckbeard days were in classic, and I remember classic as the caster era, kunark as the melee era and velious as being pretty balanced. This server doesn't always follow the same path as RZ/VZ/TZ/SZ but I can't imagine it'll be that far off.
