Back to meleequest and bowquest.

They way I remember 'classic' was no casters and all melee too, my memory is just a bit foggy I guess.

CC's didn't land on live against geared opponents unless you could coordinate a tash + malo after pillaging all buffs; and even then it was iffy if the person was well geared.

The reason this server is meleequest has nothing to do with the MR resists, it's due to AC not working and hit rate being way to high; at least in the general sense, there may be more to it with max hit % as well or avoidance calculations.

Melee's here simply do massive amounts of damage compared to live. The hitbox changes have helped since it makes the melee have to work a little more, but didn't fix the core issue.

If the melee damage was brought in line with what was experienced on live, the need to CC so you don't die in 2 rounds to a rogue isn't needed.

Making it easier to CC while keeping melee damage high is the worst of both worlds, and turns this server into an assist train splatfest where pvp lasts seconds.

so basically enchanters are more screwed now than they were to start with correct?

So Red99 is VZTZ now?

Spam root and melee train ftw. Any caster saying this is a good change is an absolute moron. Only people this benefits are those with the most melee to root melee train.

Try surviving longer than 2 seconds to a few melees on you as a rooted enc. Bazia asking for his own demise lol

As a caster i would much rather get rooted myself being tashed and use my pumice to remove it than have absolutely no way to keep a melee off me that will devour my lifepool in seconds.

The problem is melee dmg being set wayyyyy too high. You shouldn't die the second your rooted to a melee u should have 3 seconds to spare to remove malo, tash, root etc. I don't know why we're all supposed to pretend you cant remove these things. While acting like every rogue and monk isn't equipped with a skean/t-staff with one proc that equals insta death.

I've been chain t-staff proc'd for 24 secs flat and only survived because i caught heals and was raid buffed at the time . But that's ok because it's classic but meanwhile melee hitting 2x harder than they did on live isn't classic but that's ok.

I don't see why we don't add manaburn and lifeburn because it's the same thing as a rogue poisoning you. At least you can interrupt a manaburn.

based on the 4 pvp encounters I have engaged in today yes, it feels like haynar made CC spells harder to land than before but also reverted tash back to normal so all the patching accomplished was making spells that were already incredibly difficult to get to land even more so

just stop trying. there used to be a 2% min chance that any spell could land (it was something like.. 2% at 135 mr for root?). but now this minimum chance has been removed, so... invulnerability to root, snare, blind, and stuns. unless you got an enchanter might as well keep these off your spellbar. same with nukes if you aren't a wizard.
