Time to Bernie Sanders this server with resists/dispell talk

[Rhuobhe]

Bokke just stop casting scoriae on the wrong people. Always get resisted. let it go

I can agree here with playing a druid on Tallon Zek for 6 years. I mostly stick to my Dots and kiting people and outlasting than trying to be a ghetto wizard and letting damage shield do most of the work VS melee's. That doesn't really work here or it's not really a great play style cause people will just run away and plug.

The click was strong, but it was Mace of Dark Thought that changed the druid game. Allowed you to beat other priests.

If we're talking about PoP era dotting a lot wasn't an issue due to the massive size of mana pools (and mana regen), but honestly the nukes were very powerful. With item effects in place and AA points, along with ice debuffs and ice nukes, nuking was very strong.

[Buhbuh]

they certainly nuked too though

moonfire hit a lot of people in luclin days

[Buhbuh]

oh yeah that thing was syiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

remember when PoP first opened at that 1 charge AA DS for 600 dmg would stay as a buff if you kept rune up in front of it on your buff order?

Pretty simple mechanic that applies to both PVE and PVP. Low cost, high dmg to mana ratio spells are intended to be used in a group environment with resist debuffs. High cost, low dmg to mana ratio spells are intended to be used when the target hasn't been debuffed.

Only wizards have that choice.

I don't have much opinion one on this matter though.

Druids have unresistable DoTs and DS. Necros have lifetaps/unresistable DoTs. Shamans and enchanters have unresistable debuffs for their spell lines and pets. Mages get DS and pet damage. Wizards get lures. Clerics are the only class that doesn't have an unresistable/alternate form of damage but nobody complains about them because they are clearly intended to be 90% defensive in nature.

That being said, some classes function way better in groups. This game was never balanced around PVP to begin with, let alone solo PVP. It is built from the ground up to not only reward but require grouping with other players - why should PVP be any different? This ain't some WoW shit where you can farm solo daily quests for a month to get raid gear, or steamroll off quest hubs to max level before you even benefit from grouping.
