Velious class

[runlvlzero]

Thats why the main body of my first response was about casters. But everyone wants to talk about melee.

Cpt Obvious.

Well shit the bed, the thread developed after the OP posted...

Rangers get Weaponshield, too, which can be pretty useful in raids.

[Nerosys]

the problem with enchanters is anywhere important is pretty much lvl 55+ mobs so they cant charm, giants cant be cc'd i mean outside of velks and lower end content im not too sure what you would be doing as an enchanter a dire wolf in kael maybe ?

[Legend]

monks are the most broken opd class in vel

there avoidance migration to dps is insane with the all/all weapons they can tank most end game content, most not all but ive seen some top tier monks on live tank ntov and a few other dragons

they get toned down later but will never be here, i say in 2 years after vel monks will make up 80% of the server pop

Velious enchanter -> buff raid, suicide tash/slow, then log in rogue/monk for dps (post-giant charm nerfs)

Velious mage -> get camped out at key locations for coth, then play alt at non-raid times

Velious wizard -> drop big nukes all day long and help mobilize

As most of you know Kael was brought down last night and patched. The ability to charm the majority of mobs in the zone was removed. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out the reason for this nerf was because of the recent AoW killings by LoS/SoS. While our victories over the AoW were perfectly within the rules of the game, VI decided to alter those rules. I've read that there are over 300,000+ Everquest subscribers. I find it fascinating that a company took the time to alter their game to basically say "screw you" to 80 of those 300.000+. What's worse is, this nerf wasn't a "thumbed nose" at LoS/SoS for killing their "unkillable" mob. This nerf affects a vast array of people.

Enchanters you are now buff whores. Time to start a rogue.

Druids lost their ability to charm wolves. Back to casting PoG and dying after your first fire debuff. Hey I think the Monk needs SoW -- zone out to WL.

Exp groups and Armor Farmers now have to deal with uncharmable giants.

Smaller guilds who used pet tanks on Vind and Statue can no longer use those methods.

Like I said before, I never did like Velious lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Everybody was a Monk, Shaman, Rogue. A Warrior was still needed though. Nobody still played a SK, or Pally, even with the Hybrid penalty off, because they couldn't still kill shit because the mobs had tons more HP. And nobody still liked a Ranger other than tracking. They couldn't Tank ANYTHING in Velious. Druids sucked other than Ports. And with Translocaters well what can I say. That pretty much leaves Bards and Wizards, well what can I say also. Bard Haste and Bard run speed in a group good. The rest the got nerfed like Chanters. don't remember Necro's getting anything to write home to mother about?? Damn good mana battery in Raids. Seems like they got Nerfed?

People say stuff like this, but it really wasn't true..... no such shortage of palies, sks or rangers at the time. People weren't as asinine about class viability.
