Not from 2000, but guide from late 2001 calling Sebilis AOE "evolving and an everyday event". "Sebilis AoE - The how to, Quellious server" http://www.graffe.com/forums/showthr...ellious-server

I realize that's a bit later in the timeline than we are but two other threads from same site "What is the perfect AE group"and "AOE group - specifics on Enchanters role?" (http://www.graffe.com/forums/showthr...chanter-s-role ) are from earlier 2001 about where we are and judging by responses in those threads it was not brand new.



Granted I think Chardok was terrible for the server and didnt think AOE like that was classic either and these threads mention smaller scales (one says 35, one says 25) but knowing the classic EQ player base and the advances to technology around that time doubt it took long until they were doing 50+ mobs.

On another note, bards that are dicks and swarm in zones like Oasis or during peak hours Dreadlands will likely continue to be dicks and continue making everyone hate bards

Thanks for the heads up.





































































Dicks.

Does anybody else feel like the 25 mob cap is just going to make swarm kiting MORE of a problem? So now instead of bards killing their mobs all at once, they have to kill them in groups of 25, potentially taking 4x longer to clear their mobs.

People aren't gonna pull less, they're just going to kill slower. The time difference doesn't really hurt the bard, because it doesn't stop them from running around in a circle for a little while longer. It hurts the players whose spawns are being taken by bards, because now they have to wait longer for the next spawn (in theory)

In those threads they are talking about pulling 5 at once. A small yet significant difference from 150 in Chardok . . .

Ah reading further there are some groups doing 35 in Luclin. Still, far closer to 25 than 150.

The phinny nerf is bard dots don't do damage if a target is moving. Do that IMO.

From your own source:

"5. Don't get greedy. Pull in small groups and lock your mobs down. I would rather pull two-four at a time and have one enc on stun duty and the other on mez to lock them down than drop because my greedy ass went for the new world record. You can pull every mob in sebilis not behind a locked door with patience. If the puller drops then it doesn't take long for things to go awry. AoE doesn't allow for mistakes, and the punishment is severe."
