Casters vs Melee THE TRUTH (SCREENSHOTS + INFO)

[Softcore PK]

The resist system seems pretty good to me overall.

Hey lovely, how much exp do you lose from a pvp death at 50? Curious.

[Hovis]

not trying to flame you lovely but every class in eq has their strong points and their weak points.. obviously a wizard is not going to be able to kill a tank class in a few nukes.. wizards are good versus pure melees that dont have nearly as much hp, and no self buffs to help with either resists or heals (lifetaps or regular heals)..
wizards are great for burst damage..
with that said, you can't say melee's are op..

from the SS you posted it seems that resists are pretty good.. maybe with the exception of wizard (or general-other classes) CC might need some tweaking..
you landed two almost full ice commets in a row.. what's the problem with that? lol --1200 damage in what 7-8 seconds?

I've hit 45 with my monk largely through soloing here and there at odd hours in seclusion. This may not be possible afer red goes live, but it certainly happens in Beta.

Also, while I've geared up a little bit, I've found that I can XP solo without gear as a monk. The main concern is stocking bandages, which can be done from dropped loot in many places. Groups are preferable, but definitely not required. I've seen someone named Drizzy doing the same thing.

Also, HP are currently a bit over 1000 without buffs. Adding some jewelry and 1-2 HP items such as the Robe ofhe Lost Circle, I expect to hit roughly 1400. Without HP gear (very likely in PvP), the total is closer to 1150. Nuke for 700, Mend back 280 or so, nuke again for 700 and I'm pretty close to dead. One of my better options in PvP so far has been to pumice PK casters, click an Invis potion, and run like Hell. The few PvP wins I've had have been very near things, with luck on my part -- and friends nearby.

Monks are boss man. Are you Mybutthurts? We grouped the other day and i must say monks are extremely viable. I've seen drizzy do the same things, monks are def. not broken and frankly, strong as hell.

There is nothing wrong with it! I'm happy with the results I'm getting on beta. I don't think casters or melee's are OP I think both are fine in their own ways. You'll always have classes that are stronger then others in Everquest which is completely fine.

That is way off though man. Each high end nuke has over 5 second cast and Ice comets have 6.3 seconds cast time + recast/ms

Judging from the screenshots I'd say everything is working as intended.

Thanks for the testing.

Thread confirms game working as intended. Time to release!
