I don't think anything with charges is a good idea for tags. Unless the mob is already spawned and the 3-6 second timer of not being able to be attacked is already gone.

Unless it doesn't use a charge if the mob is still in the unattackable form that it spawns in?

Waiting for a static spawn is a particular kind of clusterfuck. In fluid situations you would want each person in your guild to have at least one instant click item ready to go.

Scepter of the Forlorn from the Warrens too now that I think about it. There are probably a couple others to still track down.

While Encounter Locking isn't permanent it doesn't appear there will be a lock break meta/counter meta with aggro clicks and buff blocking. For a while on Oakwynd if you could make a locked mob hit you it went FFA. A Monk that just threw a javelin, for example, had no threat and you could break his lock buffing/healing him in conjunction with some other tools while he was trying to buff block everything he could.

I thought they messed up and emp was still lockable because they flagged the little placeholder dude

Think of all of the excitement in finding out what things are slightly different (or entirely different) than last time. On the fly.

Well at least they're adding the vaniki resists system, otherwise this would be an even more miserable experience for non monks

Monks got nerfed against MOTM. Monk Epic scales with skill so it's not nearly as good at 50 as it is at 60. Basically all the good monk weapons have a higher level rec/req.
All casters don't get access to there best spells
Rangers don't get access to EQ/AM3

Rogues looking like they get to be true top DPS for once.

This server actually looks decent for PoP & Beyond, but having to struggle through July 24th - Feb 5th sounds excruciating. We'll see what it looks like when it finally gets to PoP.

So this is the server for people who really like Luclin?

Luclin, the only expansion with raids that I find it tough to stay awake through?

I still think people will be surprised at what's doable at 50. However, that requires a group of people who actually want to push the envelope do the impossible just because it's there.

necros geared with focus effects should be at the top of the parse, right after the charmed mobs

Necros are really zone/boss dependent. But not having access to the 2 top fire dots at 55 will be a really big negative for them. Rogues will just do good DPS everywhere especially in the 55 unlock.

I don't guilds that understand the assignment will be trying to raid VT before 55. Think the first couple of months will be spent farming Epics, gearing tanks and killing the lower tier Orb/ST key dropers for Avatar weapons and are ready for VT when 55 drops. Think guilds will also be still doing a lot of Velious content at 55.

How many luclin raids allow the opportunity to bring a charmed pet to the fight? I thought that started to get phased out in Luclin. But I've only truly raided Luclin once on Aradune and it's been a few years.

Enc can only charm up to lvl 53 until PoP. VT doesn't have any charmable mobs IIRC. On Mischief I low manned Lcea and think I was able to charm.

Pets also benefit and properly land spells on stuff way higher level.

Plane of Sky with the Vaniki resists is a lot less painful which is good given how much of it you'll need to do for everyone's epics. Cleric epic also speeds it way up.

We're back around to my original assertion that necromancers are going to be where it's at on this server. Sounds like rogues will be having a moment too, though.

Still only like 5 or 6 guilds, plenty for launch and the first few months but not great for long term viability.

It won't be a dead server but it won't exactly be popping either, following Teek it was a tall ask from the beginning.
