    Everquest - Phinigel server

    I've been in AoS since the start of classic and haven't ever regretted it. It's the top guild for a reason, and it's been a lot of fun. Also GoD isn't like it was on Live back in 2004 or whatever. It was retuned and characters are way more powerful than they were back then.

    What class and race are you playing?

    Yeah, it's a huge change. Paladins I think get it at 48 now too, it's kind of crazy.

    What class and race are you playing?

    As a thing they moved Superior Healing to 40s for Druids and Shaman so they make much better healers than they did prior.

    What class and race are you playing?

    No elections involved, but since opening our store a few years back I've been TO for ~ 6 or 7 tournaments a week for a few years. Not sure if that counts.

    What class and race are you playing?

    Started playing in 94, got my DCI# in 95. had to get it through the mail back then so most tournaments weren't sanctioned.

    I have a 5 digit DCI number. Is Magic nerd cred better or worse than EQ nerd cred?

    WoW wasn't released until Omens had been out for a couple of months. Even if you had gotten into a fairly early beta it was way after this stuff.

    What class and race are you playing?

    Luclin for hobbit rangers and gnome knights.

    What class and race are you playing?

    Yeah it's decent in Luclin (actually good with /disc), and it becomes the best dps in the game in PoP/LDoN

    What class and race are you playing?

    They have Jolt. Also archery has almost no aggro, it's a total joke how stupidly OP they are in PoP/LDoN era.

    What class and race are you playing?

    Rangers are good early on as mentioned they can tank/pull and be ok dps. Once you get to PoP/LDoN they're the top DPS by a good margin.

    That's LoY not LDoN!

    This is probably going to be terrible, but I really hope it works. I do enjoy me some Eliza Dushku though.

    What class and race are you playing?

    Wizards are monsters in Classic and Velious, but are pretty bad in Kunark, still quite good in luclin, but fall behind rangers in PoP/LDoN. And gnome is the right choice!

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    The 3 epics I mentioned are literally the only ones that aren't retardedly easy. Most people had their epics in the first week or 2 of kunark on phinny that weren't one of those 3 classes. Well and bard, but they fixed the bottleneck on that one.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Between instances and pickzones etc almost all epics are really easy now with a few exceptions. Enchanter epic is the worst in that it has 2 2+ day spawns that happen inside cities so no pickzones or instances, these tend to be very highly contested. Enchanter and Wizard both also have a multi...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Even aside from that, they still offer fire/cold and ac debuffs not offered by other classes. Not suggesting you should stack druids, but the first one is important.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    And still 50x easier than the SK epic.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    SKs will do a lot more dps, Paladins offer group heals and have DA hammer so make for better rampage tanks, SKs also increase the group's mana regen. SKs are also one of the strongest pulling classes in the game. Paladins have a group hp buff that stacks with cleric/druid buffs so you'll want...
  21. Sterling

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    This is incorrect. They are low popularity, but probably at very similar numbers to Paladins, Beastlords and Necros at this point. And for the 2nd part, they offer a buff most mana classes will want over Virtue since their skin buffs offer additional stacking mana regen. Seasons is obvious...

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    Avatar was fine. Not especially great or anything but I don't think it was nearly as bad as people seem to make it out to be. The story is a rehash of a rehash of a rehash, but there's a reason they keep falling back to this basic plot. That being said, I don't really care about the sequels...

    General Discussion

    This, and they get a DA hammer which is pretty amazing for ramp tanking. But in general, yes they're outclassed by SKs. There's a reason one class is heavily played and the other is one of the least played.

    200 longboxes if full is 200k+ cards. Vast majority is obviously going to be bulk, but even so there's probably plenty of treasures.

    Krono

    It's going to be interesting. I think there will be a much higher ratio of Krono farmers to the general population than there was on previous TLPs. Wonder what that will do the cost of items that were typically considered premium before.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Nostalgia aside, having redone these expansions on TLP I will say Kunark and PoP are both extremely shallow. Luclin and GoD which many people hated at the time actually have much more to do than Kunark/Velious and PoP do at those particular level caps. You get done with PoP progression on TLP...

    They did, was pretty late though was late in velious, close to Luclin release. Will be good for Agnarr though I guess.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Guilds will be continuing to do PoTime through LDoN and many will still be doing it even in GoD at least to fill out recruits and returning players etc. That said, this wizard is probably a top 10 wizard right now in terms of gear on the server, not sure who it is offhand though. Pretty sure...

    Old sets draft poorly, but it's kind of fun in a nostalgia sort of way. Playing 3 color decks with a bunch of gray ogres and common x spells is good times.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I've probably mentioned it in this thread, but yeah SKs are probably the strongest class overall on these early TLP expansions. Tank in classic, including raid bosses since warriors don't have their discs yet or aggro weapons etc, one of the best pullers and one of the highest burn dps once you...

    People claim that they want all kinds of stupid shit. People vote for 6 month unlocks then get bored and quite/take breaks after 2 or 3 months. This is no different.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    XP is dramatically faster than it was in 1999 or on P99. Characters are also much more powerful than they were back then for a number of reasons. This is very much EQ-lite.
  38. Sterling

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    In classic they're a fine group tank, but are shit dps on raids. In Luclin they get decent since with AAs they can at least do some good burn dps with trueshot. Then yes in PoP they become retardedly overpowered. They're basically the top dps class and have no aggro issues like a wizard or mage.

    Yeah. Spurs kind of doing whatever they want on offense it's pretty nutty. Kawhi has 69 points on 28 shots. That's insanity.
