Oh God... Everquest is about to bite my adult life

Yep, Motec is definitely Zaranthium's new character. I can just see him yelling red-faced at his monitor 'till that Y-shaped vein on his forehead is about to burst, raging over the Shaman who "wasted" a whole 80 mana (oh my GOD! NOT 80 MANA!) casting an Agility buff that gave the group main tank 50 AC and lasts 1 hour long. While Motec approaches cardiac arrest lecturing over the Shaman being a horrible player for wasting 80 mana, the Shaman meditated back 160 mana.

And thats completely ignoring the fact AC on p1999 has such a tiny effect compared to live. You could AC whore on live and be ridiculously OP. Here it's just 'meh'.

The Red vs. Blue argument in here is like the love child of the Red Vs. Blue Halo show and the Deficit Reduction Debate in Congress.

Welcome, pick a side.

Wow. Just wow.

Jorg, please explain to me in your own words the following, as you're so adamant that you're an EQ god (yet I can see you're just a benchwarmer):

1) The difference between raw ac and agility increased AC.
2) The exact DPS increase of someone with a 120 damage proc, based on a 50 dexterity increase, on p1999.
3) The increase in proc per swing percentage, and the actual proc per swing percentage from being 70% slowed with a 50 delay weapon with normalised weapon proc rates on p1999 with 125 dexterity.

This is straight numbers, nothing fancy, no chinese whispers and bullshit. There is no magical 'but im buffing and it makes a huge difference', theyre flat out just shit stats.

Now I for one can not give you exacting answers for quesiton 1 and I wont tell anyone otherwise. It's been 9+ years since I was caught so deep in this game I would of cared enough to go chasing a formula, & without hunting through 5 years of posts for someone elses work from TSW I cant. But the combination of AC being massivly borked on this server, and the fact that agility based AC has always only been about 5% of the raw AC in mitigating value, says to me its a waste of a buff slot.

rofl

[Motec]

For real thats me, how are you so wise brah

[SearyxTZ]

I am ready to get into a heated internet argument about AC in Everquest. I brought a crowbar and a baseball bat.


Come at me.

Let's also get into it over Star Trek, and My Little Pony.

Nothing like a good old hi-jacked thread.

EQ is fun but be warned the corpse runs are not.

Hilarious how a "hello" thread becomes a really crappy nerd argument with a bunch of insults and name calling.
