When I left, Maze half ass fixed SK Defensive. He had it working server side, but you had to use an older spell file to get it working properly.

Unfortunately, I deleted it a while back. I am sure someone else has it. (Nisea or Nima)

FYI, the rollback from wipe took away our Fennin and Rathe kills. As well as a few pieces of Elemental armour for me, but not all.

Time can be flagged by a no rent item that drops during time clearings. I find defensive is either fucked or doesn't work at all on my warrior. Never did any actual parsing, but I noticed no difference when popping it. Popping evasive, on the other hand, is very obvious when used.

Ah yes, I should clarify. Defensive never worked on SK. Same as you, it seemed like it didn't mitigate a thing. Evasive did work!

Thanks for the leg up coming back Daly. My SK is 60 with all the 65 quest bits and just two raids from luclin. All the help made it go a lot faster

Fired this back up. Made a Rogue for a 3rd box. Should hit 65 tonight and already have 3 / 4 EP gods dead! =D

What's the requirements for joining Europa? I never bothered asking because I'm not even Luclin flagged yet.

Yea, I seriously just invite anyone that doesn't seem like an ass and has a bit of knowledge about EQ. Every once in a while I run into someone that I question how they even found the server, because they seriously don't have the slightest clue about anything EQ related.

I was working on fixing defensive to use different mitigation style.

But I was retarded and broke both that and Evasive.

Evasive is ridiculously overtuned, and defensive does nothing.

Evasive (in its broken OP form) is kinda necessary though. Otherwise, it would make all of the rest of the raid content need to be re-tuned as it would take a significant increase in healing power for PoP content.

There still needs to be some tuning in PoTime, imo. The server works very well for 3-6 toons clearing up to EPs. This is what me, @Agraza and MazeEq MazeEq worked so hard on tuning. PoTime was done after the new server home and it takes significantly more people. Trash mobs have far too much HP and with a raid of 12-18 Time Geared people takes ages to clear P1-P3. There's a boss in P4 that has a massive AE mana drain, which means you need a ton of DPS to kill before the raid runs oom.

I like a challenge as much as the next person, but the server is basically solo 3 box until Luclin. (classes vary this somewhat) Then PoP is easily done with 6 chars until PoTime, then this massive wall requiring 3x the DPS are needed.

I wouldn't mind seeing P1-P3 mob difficulty being increased, with a massive reduction in mob HP. No one likes trash clearing. Gate content with difficulty over boring time sinks.

I will wait for Jysin to reply here, but I changed time trash to have 25% less HP and 25% more minimum damage. They ran it today and looks like got to Phase4 before stopping for the day, so I will take that as a good sign.

Also hopefully fixed some bugs with PoTimeB instances, it is now a simple 3 day lockout, starting the first time you zone in. No fail timers or anything.


Re: Defensive / Evasive
Sounds like Maze made some changes to the source code, we don't have the original source code, so I can't tweak these at all. If we move back to stock source code, I think lots of other things will change/break.

Also, if anyone wants to help out and has a spare Windows server, I would like to get a dev/ test environment setup. My hope / goal is to get a few regulars involved in bug fixing, opening GoD, etc. But step 1 is a dev server. Msg me here or in discord(Sailfish in discord)

Trash HP changes were well received last night. We did a full Time clear. Trash went down at a much more reasonable rate, while maintaining some lethality. (we had a few deaths here and there in P2-P3) I think we were around 15-18 chars for the raid and it took around 3+ hours.

Thanks for the work!

Is there a site/forums for this server? When you google anything you get the EQEmu forums and that just leads to some drama with Maze and few RR/FoH names drops lol

Curious if I could get this on my MacBook. Nice to have an EQ fix while i'm traveling with work.
