Monk Nerf

[Eccentricaa]

During what era was that big monk ac nerf? I remember the complaints.. but dont recall when it happened...

[Kassel]

POP

[Eccentricaa]

So no gimpy monks for us here?

[Kender]

the heavy nerf was with pop. but from what i've read here somewhere the combat code for emu is based on the post nerf monk so in effect they are already nerfed in that regard

i might be completely wrong though

I remember at least a significant AC nerf in the Luclin/Velious era...Can anyone separate the two or provide info on each? I quit about 1/2-3/4 the way into luclin, so...

This isn't true. My main was a monk and I was happily tanking for groups into mid-Luclin, when I quit. I heard about the nerf monks were hit with some time later, probably during PoP, and was glad I was through with the game.

It was during PoP and really didn't affect end game geared monks. Still had more ac than my brother's equally geared warrior.

The official announcement was three days prior to the release of POP. The nerf happened sometime in PoP.

I know because thats what did it for me. Thats why I quit EQ.

The night I heard they were going to do it I didnt even bother to wait and see how bad it was. I canceled my multiple preorders of Pop and began to sell off my account (made an easy $3000)

That nerf was the straw that broke it for me.

From what I heard of thos server is it still operate under that same mitigation change.
So I believe monks are still "nerfed" on this server if you compare the mitigation to classic. But im not a number cruncher so who knows.
