Cancel magic change?

[Daldaen]

I'll be curious to see how many counters AEs like Talendor/Gorenaire/Queen Chardok have. Cause not being able to remove those with a single Cancel Magic stick are going to revert them to real difficulties. Or a single pulse of bard song etc.

Something else important on eqlive. Their RNG is very streaky. It often takes 50 or more cancel magic counts in removing the same spell to figure out its spell strength.

I'm actually really looking forward to this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I think this ups the difficulty on many encounters [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Speaking of dispels..... i shouldnt be able to dispel my entire guild, right? should be limited to group only? >< (hard to find "classic" evidence backing this) (havent tried on beta, only on blue)

[Daldaen]

Hrmm. All clickies are deemed a 1 "power" spell right? Cause that is going to suck if your instant click you use as a junk buff rolls the dice and gets an 8 but doesn't get removed, some other buff does on a dispell. Unsure on classic status of this mechanic I need to do some reading.

Also were Nullify/Annul and the enchanter dispells all flagged as unresistable with this patch? I'll test on beta when I get home if you don't recall.

Taper Enchantment no longer OP!

[Daldaen]

I look very much forward to doing Gorenaire and Talendor now when you cannot remove the AEs with cancel magic staves.

Queen in Chardok will be good fun too. There's a reason all the classic strats for her suggest zerg DPSing and hoping she is dead before you all are.

But coupled with 255 resist cap, those AEs will be more manageable.

God I love classic.

eggcellent

So glad Haynar was brave enough to tackle this one and execute the change so well

[Grimjaw]

one thing I recall from live is cancel magic being a joke of a spell. glad its being put back in its place

[Daldaen]

The number one concern I have is will all dispells be flagged unresistable?

Cause currently Cancel Magic is the only one flagged unresistable.

Need Annul and Nullify to get flagged as well. The chanter Taper line needs to be flagged unresistable too.

But yea those Dragon AEs will be much more tough.
