It's not my fault shit is broken and it's going to be fixed. You're projecting your anger at an incoming fix onto me because I support the fix, for an entirely different reason than the one you're implying mind you.

Carry on crying though how charm is just fine the way it is. It doesn't make you look retarded to everyone who isn't a biased jackass at all.

Who said I was blaming you for anything?

Why don't you elaborate on how you think it's broken and needs fixing then?

See that's the thing, I've acknowledged there are issues with charm that need to be addressed, but at the same time, I don't want to see it nerfed into oblivion. You DO understand this yes? Stop your emotional reasoning and black and white thinking for a moment and acknowledge that.

There are so many things ridiculously OP and out of balance in this game it's absurd. Why do you think manastones are camped 24/7 and farmed like crazy? You think classic was balanced? Seriously? Are you kidding me right now? Why do you think Rubicite BP was removed from the game on live back in the day? Seriously this hypocritical attitude about balance is laughable. Like you're on some moral high ground or something. A MAGE of all classes, who can farm any damn thing he wants in the game. You're so stuck in your myopia you don't see the irony in that at all. It's laughable.

I think it's ironic that you're claiming projection here, considering you haven't really specified exactly how'd you like to see charm "fixed", yet seem gleeful that it could potentially be nerfed into oblivion. Would I like to see charm balanced? Sure. Nerfed? No. This is a classic eq emu server. Not WOW or DAOC. It's enjoyment and fun more than anything. People like you take this shit way too seriously when you're whining for nerfs in a game that's 10 years old and on an EMU server. It's a little petty and ridiculous.

You have a lot of gall accusing anyone of "crying" considering your rants and whines.

I'd rather talk to Yiblaan about how awesome he thinks homosexuality is than attempt to carry on any reasonable discussion with someone as dysfunctional as you

I think you were attached to your windowsill as a child a bit too long. Was the paint at least tasty?

You're hilarious

And yes you'd like to see charm nerfed to oblivion IMO. Play the semantic games all you want. You said as much last night in OOC. You were gloating about it actually.

Unless you want to elaborate on how you'd like to see it balanced? I thought not

The entire discussion was easily rehashed a good 5 times and you neglected to take note of it, despite the crowd reiterating it several times as well. You don't want to hear it.

I'm not about to do so here so you can similarly ignore logic because your precious OP ability to kill everything solo is possibly threatened.

Charm from the beginning to end is not working right.
You think it is.
Devs are aware that it does not.

That's really the bottom line.

Back in the classic era chanters were constantly complaining about how worthless and unreliable charm was. Nobody ever really even used it.

There is no other issue. You state yourself charm wasn't really viable in most situations in classic. End of conversation. This server isn't meant to be perfectly balanced, it's meant to replicate classic. If it isn't how it was in classic, it needs to be changed.

Don't get me wrong, I love love love your LDC pet upping total group dps by 50+%, but it's not how it's supposed to be.

I don't think charm is "working right" whatever that means anyways. I'd like to see adjustments made but why completely destroy it's viability?

I think it's hilarious that a mage is complaining about classes "Precious OP ability to kill anything solo". That's real fresh.

Dabamf I understand where you're coming from, but at the same time I dont think charm should be broken again because it was broken in classic. Adjusted? Absolutely. Broken again to retain that "classic feel"? Mm not so much

I am more of a grouping druid than a solo druid. That being said I'm glad Nilbog is looking into it.
