It's cheesy and shouldn't work, but that's what happens when a game has braindead NPC's, little thought put into the itemization, and item recharging exploit (thankfully the best p99 server, Red, does not have item recharging). It also makes zero sense as something a Summoner or Elementalst class should be able to do. If it does exists in a game for some reason, then it should be something a Paladin or Cleric does.

I just pointed that a cleric can do it also. Thats still 4. So what makes mages so special they need to be nerfed? Just nerf the items, not the whole class, geez wtf...

Because clerics actually have a use when killing raid mobs.

Mages don't. Their greatest value is in a quad DA train up / out / away.

Based on your comments I assume that you have never raided. Clerics are absolutely critical for Complete Heal chains and the more of them you can get in that chain the better. You're never pulling a Cleric out of that for this.

Mages are the only class that can do 3 instant activation DA's, giving them the highest chance of chaining 4+ together.

It doesn't have anything to do with other nerfs that have happened though, and it's true there are non-classic nerfs to the class on p99 that need to be fixed. You've also correctly identified that raiding is generally boring.

As for the distance to aggro change, nobody else cares.

A lot of people have complained about the new pet attack distance, have you tested exactly how far it is? If it's less than cast range that's a problem.

Unfortunately for mages they're great 1-50, and start to suck worse and worse til epic (an impossibility for most).

And once you get your epic there isn't anything you can do thats on the level of an enchanter, necro, shaman, bard...or even twinked monks / pallies / SKs. You can AFK farm shit tier mobs. Congrats.

Once you realize you're just a coth bot because you're unwilling to put the time in to learn the raid meta tactics, you're hosed. Better off logging on a cleric bot and licking walls in a CH chain while you acquire DKP to gear a char thats actually fun to play.

Thanks for mentioning one of the reasons why the raid scene on p99 is cancer.
