So no chardok & no bard kiting... discuss

[Nihilist_santa]

Man sucks for bards. Bards are one of the only remaining reasons to play p99. On the TLEs on live they still have bards messed up where AOE only hits mobs that are standing still even during "vanilla".

Everyone in chardok expected the aoe groups to die eventually either with the chardok 2.0 revamp or changes to agro with invulnerability (da/db).

This artificial cap on the number of mobs affected by ae spells is sloppy as shit. It affects various other encounters on the server like CT/tunare. It is also a significant nerf to wizards/mages. Whatever, at least it opens up another xp zone to low 50's other than KC.

Give me a single example of a non aoe class being able to put out even close to as much damage as a wizard aoe'ing 25 mobs. Give me an example of anything but a bard soloing 25 xp giving mobs at once.

A GOOD server is one that fixes things that need fixed. If you want to deal will the "it wasn't that way at x time period" crowd please go spend a week on Uthgard(daoc freeshard). All of the horrible balance issues at their target patch level basically ruin the game. When 80% of the payer base threaten to leave the only dev answer is "it wasn't 1.65."

Custom changes are needed when something is negatively effecting a majority of the player base. TBH I'd like to be a stronger punishment system in effect for people that constantly train mobs. I'd be willing to bet 9/10 of my deaths have come from some soloing nut job Bard or Iksar monk.

bards and chardok were AIDS and i havent seen anyone arguing that

the question is whether i should be disallowed from earthquaking blackburrow, a very classic pastime for faction farmers like me, because of that fact

Lol yeah actually this is the only reason I cared about this nerf. I also like to earthquake places like that for faction during dead hours on my druid for faction farming. Hierophant's Crook bye 8(...

You do realize you can still do it 10x(or more) faster than classes without AoE right? How is this game-breaking? Just kill'em 25 at a time.. christ. Is that really too much effort? Casting the aoe a few extra times to depopulate an entire zone?

Can someone record the next Cazic Thule spawn?

Cant wait to see how the trash mobs are pulled.

Or just bring a group there when you're leveling if the faction matters to you so much. A person might even have fun playing the game without godmode.
