Grouped with you in Guk I think, were you the one that couldnt get past the 2 live frogs at the entrance without zoning out half a dozen times? also noticed you casting a lot of shit that wasn't clinging darkness. Nothing in the arsenal of an SK beats CD for aggro per mana. cast that 3 times on...

If you like Epeening on the parse as some SK's like to do in early expacs then a bard box is super handy and low effort, but for duoing xp n stuff you'd be better off with a Shaman.

Necros are overall solo kings IMO. Shaman are better at taking down the summoning mobs that necro's cant.

Warriors suck ass in classic and aren't really needed, can tank everything with a Pally or SK. Main reason to play one in classic is to collect all the pre lootable epic drops and get ready to be needed in Kunark. Kunark warriors get their epics and if you choose the master race you get to main...

wasn't a very good one

Monks can just stick around to the end of the raid when people kill off the pets. Not sure what sausage fest guilds you've been in, but every guild I've been in has had a handful of women.

Because half the women that play EQ are playing Druids......poorly.

Oh my bad, yeah for sure, was thinking Aradune which is in PoP now. Team up with a Necro or something.

Druids get fucked in the ass for PoP charming, their charm maxes out at 60, pretty sure the only thing you can do charm wise in fire is DC one of those green mobs that spawn in F1.

Druids also have nukes that aren't exactly terrible, not as good as Wizards but a close second behind mages, amazes me how few people use them in fast killing groups though seems they'd rather dump 500 mana worth of dots into a mob that's gonna be dead in 30 seconds. Or even worse, cast wolf...

One guild ruthlessly crushes the competition causing other guilds to give up and stick to their DZ's. Then people are like why is there no competition?

Mabbu's guild looks like it will have a large number of Bloodthirst and TEB players, most of his officers were in both guilds. At this point every big dog guild is a melting pot of people from various TLP guilds. It's like my kids playdough an hour after they get it, all blended together into an...

I rolled with Chanter/Cleric on Phinny, was definitely super stronk but the not being able to AFK often wore me down a lot, especially as someone who enjoys a few beers while I play.

I remember a guy on Agnarr rolling with SK/Dru/Brd, seems like a solid combo, really only missing rez

Curious, has anybody here spent any considerable amount of time raiding on Firiona Vie? What's it like with the free trade loot? I'd assume anyone that played there a lot would have the best idea what us first timers can expect.

According to google it has something to do with lobbing missiles at weddings in the middle east.

Ive done Troll Shm, DE Cleric of Inny for that snare neck a bunch of times and ended up rarely using it. It's like a 6 second cast for a terrible snare that resists half the time. At least you don't have to wear it, seem to recall having to back in the day.

This ^ also Rangers are better tanks in oow or whatever because he once tanked some group mobs with a raid geared ranger or something. Anyway, if people want to main a Shaman in classic just don't even buy the stupid agi buffs, I know the power of autism will probably compel you to buy all...

Yeah mage pets aren't a lot better, I believe it's Luclin they start getting most of their defensive power back. One thing you can do to make them a lot more tanky in early expacs is give them banded armor, it's probably only 100p or less to get kill up to make it, and probably costs about 40pp...

Vanessa > Teriboo Let's gooooo

Well that sucks, if all we are going to do is kill one mob, not much point in playing

Gold because it came from WoW, the first MMO.

My understanding is that warriors sans defensive have about 5% better mitigation than a knight but the superior aggro generation of a pally or SK outweighs that, so many guilds just use knights for most stuff in classic to avoid dealing with shitty aggro of a war. You roll up a warrior in...

Yeah bobby is right, monks showing up in wu's and bare fists and still being competitive dps and just milking the plat/krono. Upgrades? who needs upgrades. So many classes that just need spells/discs and no real gear to be useful, but even tanks only really need the planar armor and some AC...

Yeah I think the prices on items from the usual dungeons, solb guk etc will quickly bottom out, people will be selling hate/fear armor in the tunnel within a week

For sure, and by the time they aren't they are more than good enough at pulling and DPS to make up for it.

Definately seen a few triple charm (don't think ive ever beenin one with 4) Chardok groups get super hairy when a couple of pets choose to break as a pull comes in. I've done 50-60 In Chardok as a Necro a couple of times, they are definitely super stonk there, although not all camps have easy...

They aren't though, they are limited by mob type while Enchanters are not. Not much a Druid can charm in Lguk, The Hole or OoT, Not much a Necro can charm in Sol B or the hole outside the undead area. Having said that in Chardok yeah you can mix n match no probs, still want at least one...

A bard to complete the utter mediocrity.

Bards are mostly a waste of a group spot if there's an enchanter available, their shitty 30% aoe slow doesn't matter much when classic mobs hit like pansies and die really fast, yeah their mana regen stacks with enchanters but that's about it, their shitty low level hastes are inferior to...

Bards don't even have better slows than Beastlords

They are OP as fuck in groups all the way to GoD, but in a lot of raids they are relegated to buff bitches which causes many to quit or main change.

We should probably see how things pan out in classic before worrying about what will happen in PoP

Oh ok I get what you are saying now, misinterpreted the post I replied to, although that sounds like twice as much work for the same reward as just dragging shitty boxes along so not sure how people will go for that.

Most 2nd mains with the possible exception of Bards, and Clerics that participate in CH rotations are just poorly played buff bots that soak up loot that would otherwise rot. Not sure if giving them loot over letting mains take it to sell would actually be a net positive for most guilds.

What if they made all the loot in PoP and beyond tradeable?

Crazy train baby

Yep, imagine having MTs selling off their gear for taco bell money and holding the guild back. If you think that's obscene and would be stamped out quickly by officers, then why should it be different for other classes?

Everyone laments the "good old days" and repeat the classic-pop treadmill ad nauseum expecting to recreate the experience. This is the sort of shake up the TLP experience needed IMO
