lol. Yea, I never got that. "omg! he's fondling my goodies, I must defend my honor!" I was so happy when they patched that message out so I could finally inspect everyone without that bullshit.

You could chain spam people with it too. It was glorious. Have the entire raid spam inspect people after they get their epics/super items etc lol

I know there were monks doing it long before mercs existed. He had a bag full of clickies and potions to do it though.
I'm looking for someone knowledgeable to write and article for me that updates readers what current day EQ is like and the landscape of all the EMU servers are like. PM if interested.

Bunch of necros are going to be pissed if the proposed changes from this beta go live. Lots of talk of cancelling accounts and general bitching from the class that bitches the most. Raid mana changes i guess, looking at you death bloom!

Call of the Forsaken: The Western Plains of Karana
The ground rumbles across the plains of West Karana. The land contorts as the barrier between dimensions breaks down. A chasm opens. Lady Lendiniara, a dragon from another dimension, breaches Ethernere and is thrust into our Norrath. Mountains of debris rise. Rivers of lava flow over the land.
Some citizens of West Karana believe that the upheaval marks the end of the world. The guards of Qeynos have entered the plains and set up base camps in order to calm and assist the inhabitants of West Karana. Meanwhile, Ethernere and its mysterious creatures invade Norrath and begin to consume its land and population.
"Are you fearless? Do you not dread my claw, tooth, or breath? Thus far, the only ones who have had the will to approach a dragon are the ones whose insanity has substituted for courage." - Lady Lendiniara
After arriving in this strange alternate universe, Lendiniara's first thought was to reenter Ethernere in an attempt to return to her proper reality. Landing on the floating island of rock in the place where she entered this dimension, Lendiniara searched for passage home but could not find it. And so, here she remains, communing with those that travel through the portals, attempting to find anyone who would help her return whence she came.
Dragons are not often welcome visitors, especially in a land turn asunder by an unexplained cataclysm. A military squad from Qeynos, led by General Brustus Tacitum, has been dispatched to assess the damage done by the invasion from Ethernere. Their mission is to provide aid for citizens in danger, reestablish a sense of order in the region, and destroy the dragon thought to have caused the incursion.
The exposure to Ethernere has even transformed the local wildlife. The numerous giant spiders and bears in the area have fused together, forming a new species of creature known as the ursarachnid. These new creatures, with an instinct to trap their prey and store them in caves, have taken up residence in West Karana.
Lendiniara was not the only being to arrive from Ethernere. When the passage to this dimension opened, the Harrowing Horde came through as well. The beings that make Ethernere their home thrive on living essences, and they have emerged into Norrath to claim the energy of its inhabitants.
Unless Lady Lendiniara can be sent back to the dimension from which she came, the passageway to Ethernene will remain open and all of Norrath will be lost to the gray mists between worlds. With this in mind, will you work to aid Lady Lendiniara, or seek to destroy her?

started up an iksar warrior on test. not sure how much i'll play him or how seriously i'll take him.
i used some legacy points to get bags of plat, and now in addition to the /testbuff stuff he has a Fungi Tunic, Helm of Rallos Zek, Boots of the Storm, and a couple other things. at level 27 with a healer merc i was able to go into Kaesora and kill some stuff. not having a snare SUCKS though haha. not sure what i'm gonna do.... not many options for a proc snare wep at my level. i could maybe box another toon, but i mainly started this character because i wanted to be able to mindlessly blow/solo through stuff... dunno if i want to get too involved here.
does the caster merc ever snare or root? or just DD?

warrior with a warrior merc? i'll give it a shot. and yeah, i wasn't sure about buying the fungi, but the cash was free to me. when i bought it i was pretty sure i would outgrow it in not too long.
grinding in outdoor zones is boring to me. any ideas about how my 27 warrior can root/snare in a dungeon?

Just go grab red mobs and let your merc draw aggro off you. Sit back and watch the merc solo you tons of xp all the way to 60.
Yeah tank mercs are really where it's at until the 60's. I've always done, Blightfire, Mesa until I could do the Hole, stay in the Hole till green (lvl 72ish) then head to Paw, HoT CY, etc.
Maybe some Howling Stones in my early 50's.

The necro nerf of deathbloom is a ten minute reuse instead of three. I find all of this very funny because of how much they fucking bitch and moan, every year when the AA talks come up they ask for the most retarded shit you could imagine because they feel they need it (all classes really). Everytime they ask for suggestions for AA ideas its always the same thing, I want unlimited power and mana at all times and to port and to ae rez and to blah blah. Deathbloom was too good to be honest, god fucking forbid you have to stop killing for 1 whole minute and regen instead of killing 24/7 while peeing in jars. As a 98% maxed out group geared necro, there's about 15 mobs I don't want to figure out how to solo just because they spit out adds every 15%. EVERYTHING else outside of raid mobs are 100% molo'ed with ease and some time spent farming some key items.
Breakdown of Burst Mana Regain Abilities Per Class:
1.) Cannibalization (Shm) - +21800 mana, 3 min (2min:20sec) reuse = 155.71 mana/second
2.) Bucolic Harvest (Wiz) - +20688 (rk2), 21722 (rk3) mana, 12 sec cast, 3 sec to 7 min reuse (depending on claw procs) = infinite to 47.89, 50.28 mana/s
Harvest of Druzzil (Wiz) - +15650 mana, 10 sec cast time, 8 min (5min:45sec) reuse = 45.36 mana/s
3.) Death Bloom (Nec) - 2400 mana/tick. 42 seconds (7), 3 min reuse = 93.33 mana/s
4.) Mana Reserve (Mag) - +12000, 18 mins reuse = 11 mana/sec
Gather Magnitude (Mag) - +12,413, 7 mins reuse = 29 mana/sec
Lrg. Mod. Shard (Mag) - +7500, 5 mins reuse = 25 mana/sec
Wand of Phant. Mod. (Mag) - +7500, 5 mins reuse = 20 mana/sec (Cost to cast deducted from figure)
5.) Quiet Miracle (Cle) - 30k hp/mana 10 min reuse = 50 mana/s
Veturika's Perserverance (Cle) - 15k hp/mana, 10 min reuse = 25 mana/s

This was before the Deathbloom nerf.
