Killed Draco. The fight is a nightmare and straight up requires 20-30 Mages with more being preferable. Fifty would probably be ideal with zero melee dps characters and zero tanks. Just healers and Mages. We generated a mountain of corpses killing. Drops were
It took so long to clear Fear, kill Terror, kill Wraith, and then kill Draco that the zone was starting to repop. There is no fucking reason to go into this zone and fight through tooth and nail for CT's garbage drops. There is no excuse for Tear, Dread, Fright, and Draco to still have broken loot tables. There's no reason to bring tanks or non-Mage dps classes to raids. It's what these encounters have been balanced around.
And Lockjaw has until December for Kunark.

Yea Im taking a break for a few days to see if they decide to change this shit. When Mage walling down content is a more viable option than legitimately completing it, it kills my desire to play.Killed Draco.

Instead of addressing what Mages and people boxing piles of Mages was doing to content they have rebalanced Hate, Fear, and Sky around the assumption that you are showing up with 30+ Mages. It has warped the entire game and this isn't really even Everquest anymore. It's someone's homebrewed custom rules server. And the guy whose server it is fucking hates Warriors, SKs, Paladins, Shadow Knights, Rangers, Rogues, Wizards, and Shaman.
And yeah, doing the encounter legitimate requires everyone to be sporting 100 unbuffed DR and MR at least. That's BD earrings, diamond rings, BD neck + other stuff for every single person for a boss that doesn't drop anything.
Boss Bixie on Sky. End of list.

Glad to see you taking a stand against such Eonan - there's a high road and a low road in situations like this. Glad to see you're taking the road I'd expect of someone of the caliber you've come across as. (And note - different stuff, but seriously debating a full quit at this point for a few eras - or at least til Kunark but I expect any visits at that point will be brief)
It's been the more viable option from the start. It was amusing to me when tanks wanted to feel useful and would scream for heals knowing that if they just backed up everyone but the mages could take an afk and it would be easier and less stressful.

Hit me up in game later today Chanur, we did some roster cleanup and you might have accidentally been removed if we didn't have you tagged properly or something.
If they were to remove the ability for pets to tank these specific mobs, i.e. hold aggro, I believe it could fix a lot of problems. Pets would still do the same amount of damage but they simply wouldn't get onto the mobs aggro list. It wouldn't change how pets are used for any other encounters, so mages would remain just as viable in combat for all non-raid mobs. But what it would do is give player tank classes a purpose, which would in turn make healers and all the other support classes useful again, which is the way it should be.

From when I PMed Prathun about it, he claimed it was a "complex scripting issue" rather than just a simple thing to copy the Plane of War code that does that. =/

DBG is trying to enforce raid rotations..403 Forbidden
Time to quit for me, I didnt come to classic EQ to have everything carebeared. I didnt like EQ when raid zones were instanced, and now this might as well bet he same. Let people go to lockjaw who want rotations. Besides that we havent seen any guild kill CT.
They need to fix the buffed raid mobs, we've let other guilds attempt buffed CT, naggy etc and watched them wipe. It's not like TL is ksing raid mobs from other guilds, that we need a forced rotation..

that new loot feature is horrific, jesus
You learn to love it. As a boxer I absolutely love it, just right click and assign loot without having to touch the corpse? Yes please.

I think its excellent. My only complaint is that is takes up a ridiculous amount of screen real estate.
