Do you think FD pulling would have been a thing?

[Wakanda]

If Enchanters had been a meta / mainstream class? I kind of don’t. I know everyone on here likes to larp that we all knew charm was OP and Enchanters were always the meta, but that wasn’t a thing from my perspective. FD pulling was a huge thing because of the fact that we didn’t have reliable on-demand CC.

Was noticing in MnM monks really aren’t great pullers because FD isn’t required now that multiple classes have mez or the equivalent, but then I started thinking about the fact that I leveled a necro to 60 on P99 without ever having a need for FD and started wondering how it even works compared to the monk ability.

But then I had a flashback to actually leveling a shadow knight in 2001 and wondered why I didn’t use the spell version of FD back then and then I remembered the game had already evolved to the point where most groups had an Enchanter and the goal was actually to pull as many mobs as possible. Still no charm non sense of course 😹

But yeah I really dunno if monk pulling / FD would have become a meta or mainstream thing if enchanters had been integral to gameplay since day 1. And yes I know monk FD can split fire giants and other tough pulls in PoH. But I think outside of those niche functions, Monks prob wouldn’t have been associated exclusively with FD pulling and that it mainly became a thing due to the fact we had no mez [You must be logged in to view images.
