Enchanters Should Be Nerfed on EQ TLP Servers

At best the enchanter is more powerful at level 40 but like, my guy, they will have that edge for like 2 weeks, then everyone will 50.

I also dont think our player base is talented enough to play an enchanter unless its extremely twinked either [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Can you name me 3 camps that enchanters are going to farm because they have a distinct advantage, that are going to break the game? Like what 3 camps being permafarmed by 1 person, vs 2 (like virtually any duo can farm anything an enchanter can farm) makes the game broken?

Pretty sure its the sick ass gear from kedge that the druids are going to flood the server with that make TLP's different from classic.

Hammerhead helms for all!

He's just a jealous fruitcake. His entire worldview is predicated upon his covetous nature. No big shocker that it bleeds over to the video games he chooses to play as well.

You really should roll enchanter as your first class if accumulating e-wealth is your thing

frog king camp is very fun and easy for ench and REALLY Shitty for anyone else

also without charmed pets sky is horrible so is hate and fear honestly. With a few pets its fun !

All pipe dreams and not-classic but I feel like the game would be much better with a few simple changes to radical balance issues:

Ivandyr's Hoop lifetap (already implemented)
Spam clickies that trivialize content (mallets)
Enchanters being obviously overpowered, being the best at three roles (Crowd control, DPS, and mana regen) And really that's fine because class balance sucks in EQ in general and that's okay, but enchanter dps also trivializes content.

All they have to do is put in random charm breaks and people will cry and play beastlords

Enchanter is always a default pick when building the stable. Silly not to

I remember Combine server in 2006, the first TLP. Magician pets were the thing then, so you'd see more mages than anything. But that was really the only thing that was overpowered for the era, other than there being various content things that got left in (Vorshar the Despised in Neriak, 2nd Floor Plane of Hate / Knight Weapons, some random augments with minor stats, and an instanced / monster mission for a decent earring).

Good times.

The meta of gaming being so commonplace for 20+ years. There are things people do in P99 that I never seen in classic. My main was an enchanter and no one ever referred to them as OP or the class being OP. People do things with them, use them, little tricks that were just not commonplace knowledge back in the day.

For instance, I never used Charm. having such weak gear I died on just about any break (forget hasting something). Yeah, I sucked horribly. In hindsight I was a terrible enchanter.. I can recall maybe once or twice someone in group asked if I would charm a pet. I did not level him by charming things. Didn't get Jboots until 50, couldn't afford gems for Rune spells as my money was put into gear and spells. The idea of farming for plat like people do now was simply inconceivable to me back then. EQ was already a huge time sink (that I loved) grouping and xping. I played EQ from 2000-2002. Never knew recharging items was a thing until P99, a full decade after it mattered when a good deal of secrets were shared. Part of the charm was so much was not known by many.

The guys in this thread probably mean well and the changes they propose might make the game better but I have to say that none of that is what made EQ good in the first place (we had to root dragons here to just get back gameplay) Im not sure if I could point to any one thing that did but.. it was. Trying to always improve upon the lightning in the bottle has lead someone like me to a heavy frown of modern gaming in general.
