Nah In even now in Classic WoW you can't hit 60 by just questing and doing dungeon/group quests. Even with all the quests that were added with AQ/Naxx/DM ect it's actually impossible you simply have to grind there isn't anyway around it. Blizzard changed it with TBC launch they buffed quest XP...

Am i wrong? WoW literally just copied those other games and did a worse job because they didn't have as many "gather 8 buckets of Berries" quests. Later on Blizzard started adding some more unique quests like the bombing quest in Hellfire or how the Lore is deeply woven with cut scenes in...

Which is how EQ2 was also. The only difference was in WoW you didn't have enough quests to do. In those other games you did.

IMO it changes based on era. Would say Classic-Kunark Monk SoV-SoL SK PoP and beyond Ranger is so much fun.

EQ2 launched before WoW and had a better working quest system on launch. So did DAoC. So did FFXI Online. WoW had a dogshit quest system compared to those games when it launched, questing was the primary way to level in Classic WoW and even with 13 patches in Classic adding hundreds of quests...

My comment wasn't directed at anyone. I would definitely agree that Blizzard had a much better reputation then SoE at the time and for good reason. But EQ2 launched the same month and honestly for the first 6 months or so EQ2 was the better game. But Blizzard did a much better job and...

I feel like anyone saying "WoW was good/clean/polished on launch" didn't actually play WoW on launch. The game was a pile of shit on launch.

Bruh as a tank you spend like 40 seconds an hour bash stunned. That's like 16 mins per day of /played time. That's like a full hour of being bash stunned ever 4 days of /played. That's like being bash stunned for a full day for ever 96 days /played. Just think about that in the character...

I'd agree when you're talking about most classes, but Tanks that can be Ogres should be Ogres and Necros should be Iksars. Not dying cause you forgot to click of Lich when you went to take a piss is just too fucking OP.

You wanna here some really dumb stuff join Ranger chat a week into Luclin.

So you're telling me you're gonna Lava Storm and do 1200 damage to the 1200 hp total froglok you're fighting? Nobody else is gonna do any damage in the time it takes to cast a rain and have 3 waves come out? Yeah nah bro you clearly just don't wanna admit you're wrong.

What undead in Classic are you getting to Frost Storm? Like besides the Ghoul Lord and his guards which undead lives long enough for Frost Storm to be viable? The Hole undead? What about the first 40 levels? What nuke are you using in UR and LGUK pre 41 that's better? Oh that's right there...

Let's say you're a 35 Wizard at EXE in Guk your most mana efficient nuke is Ice Shock at 3.6 Damage per mana with a -10 MR check. Let's say you're a 35 Cleric at EXE in Guk your most mana efficient nuke is Expel undead at 3.6 Damage per mana -50 MR check. If you're really sweaty you can also...

Undead nukes are more mana efficient the Wizard Nukes. Clerics are actually just better DPS then Rogues, Monks, Wizards when you're killing undead.

I'm gonna play both. It's actually perfect timing hit 50 in EQ then fuck off to WoW for 3 months till i run out of shit to do. Come back to EQ just in time to avoid doing Classic and Kunark for the 8th time.

I understand how it works though. The problem is you can't actually figure out the exact value Avoidance is gonna give because it changes depending on the mobs Accuracy and we don't have that number available to us. On top of that it has diminishing returns because you can't avoid a hit that...

So you're incapable or unwilling to learn for yourself on the matter. Yet you feel the need to lecture me and others on a subject you don't know about.

I agree they should all listen to the "super autists" that said something on some forum somewhere that you can't remember.

Those "Super autists" were and are wrong. There is also no way to effectively Parse it because Avoidance AC is a versus stat. +6 Avoidance AC vs a level 2 Skelly that has 21 Accuracy is gonna be multiple % chance to hit in change. +6 Avoidance vs a 80 raid boss with 1500 accuracy is gonna do...

Ogre War with AGI start vs Ogre War with default starting stats The second AC number determines how often you get hit

Bruh AGI is a great stat for tanks. AGI = Avoidance AC. You can literally open your stat sheet now and see what it does. That said it's pretty fucking useless if your a rogue/wiz DPSing on a raid and you're an annoying little cunt if you send Shaman tell asking for AGI in Classic.

Crazy how over the course of 10+tlps, 20+ expansions and hundreds of patches things about the game change and what was "Basic Knowledge" becomes outdated knowledge.

A Ranger can tank efficiently enough to the point where you're never gonna need med breaks or need to worry about bad pulls. The Bard/healer/Ranger 3x melee DPS group is better then the Bard/Healer/Warrior +3 melee DPS group. The Ranger group does all the same content just faster. Anguish Aug...

Having done PoP with Amtrak and AOS. I can confirm AOS PoP race was so much smoother and better played than Amtrak's was but Amtrak's was faster because of Storms and server stability.

The race is literally the best part of EQ at this point. Something about staying up for days on end and playing games with your friends just takes me back to LAN parties during A School. Why not talk shit about winning it's fun. @Keystone Their servers suck

I tanked all the things on Phinny as a Ranger. You just have much higher access to Shielding and Avoidance then you should and as a result the gap between Knights and Rangers is very insignificant for tanking, but when it comes to sustained DPS+aDPS it's not even close.

Agree with all you said but this. Rangers are they absolute god tier tanks for XP groups in OoW+DoN ect. Rangers who gear properly easily tank all the content but having a Ranger tank over an SK is like adding another DPS to the group.

Nah you gotta post these threads friday nights

I don't see that question asked or answered anywhere on the forums. But "A Rare Mob" is unambiguous. Similar level, Random, Raid mob are ambiguous.

It's not gonna be "named" mobs. It's Rare mobs. The ones that con as "A Rare Mob" in game. Unsure how a "raid mob" will be determined. They could go with the ones that /con "looks like it would take an army to defeat" or they could do like the did with MoTM and add it to select targets, my...

They aren't oppressive as fuck mechanics, it's really easy really basic stuff. Dalnir still has or used to have the best ZEM in the game by a lot, but very few people went there. The reality is most EQ players are boomers that are watching Netflix on their second monitor while the play. Judges...

CT and Paw are both already solid XP spots if you have a strong group. The problem is if you got people leaving every half hour it's hard to find reps. Also the camps are full of healers so if you got shitters that aren't stunning/nuking when they should, well you're gonna have a bad time.

Mischief is probably the best TLP be to a tourist EQ player on. It will be really really easy to take breaks and come back because you can just dump your gear for Krono. Then when you come back you can by last expansions raid gear for pennies on the dollar and be instantly useful to your guild.

Bobby you trying to mislead people? I know Loremaster Bobby must know about A Warbone Spearman and A Warbone Monk. You even get Basilisks eggs at that camp.

While this is definitely true in terms of beating the content i would be worried about a guild having this attitude. Time is money and a guild that can clear VT in 3 hours can get more loot then a guild that clears VT in 4 hours. A guild that 2 splits Naggy gets double the loot of a guild that...

It would take less time then doing it by level...

Who know how they will do PoP loot hopefully it's by Tier rather than Level. But if it's by level better learn to love the Fishlord event.

FTFY

"Never use Rains" You don't ever use your most mana efficient nukes?

Nah your logic is retarded. Bard slow is 10% better or 5% worse depend on if use languid or tepid. Single target Bard dots don't come close in terms of damage to necro dots. Venom is like 220/tick and 2k damage in a 3 sec cast time, Frost chant is like 50 a tick and 100 damage in a 3 second cast...
