Paladin are actually pretty OP. They get a healing strike (about 30% with 2h) with a 5 second cd. I'm killing yellow and orange pretty easily with a 2h-er (12 dmg) at level 6.

Oh yeah and they got a 20% outgoing heal buff to group it looks like. Great class. W/e screw that big baby.

Playing right now is the most authentic starting EQ experience you can have. Not because the game is just like EQ but because it’s the first time since like 2001 where an MMO is growing naturally by word of mouth instead of just launching with 250k people and servers crashing. It’s just like the old days where every day there were a pile of fresh newbs in Freeport trying it for the first time, not everyone knew every secret and there was a slow natural trickle through the levels rather than a mass race to max.

well said and it keeps growing.

I really missed it so much

lol, we were in Spirit Manor last night. Our group was farming the front right area. Another group kept trying to break into the back but didn’t have the CC so kept training us when they ran out. Eventually they set up camp right next to us. After about 20 min they took one of the named that would have been ours if they weren’t there.

Our puller decides he’s gonna say something to them.

“Shouldn’t you guys be in the back? There’s not room for us all here.”

“”That’s racist!”

“You got a problem with halflings?”

I was drunk and laughing so hard at the exchange that I didn’t even care they were taking some of our spawns.

good times!

Level 16 now, either gonna go back to lower goblins tonight to try and farm the emperor or whatever, or maybe spiders in AVP tonight. Can’t wait!

Got a good weapon for paladin and have been screwing with that as an alt today. Level 6 in no time, with this weapon. Twinking is alive again bros!

Shaman have some serious choices to make. I’ve got 10 or 11 spells for my shift bar, but only six slots. There’s 4 buffs for the whole group and a shaman only wis buff - takes up 5/6 slots just to have all my buffs up. I need to keep the big “oh shit” heal button on the sixth slot, so basically if I want to use any of the other spells I have to sacrifice a buff. I think the move speed buff would be the one to drop, but the monk puller in my group says he likes it too much and I should drop the 3 dex 3 fire resist buff. Anyway, interesting system but I keep getting spells for those slots and haven’t really been able to play with or experiment with them cause the buffs seem to strong not to use.

I feel pretty useless as a monk with broken/unreliable FD, I mean currently all I have going for me is 2 def coolddowns and a ranged attack, one CD is fine if the fight takes 2+min, the other requires a staff for the block to actually function (Upgrade for staff is one thing I haven't seen for sale)

I mean once I get the hang of the camps, and know them, FD won't be AS needed, but I'm doing all this fresh, so of course I'm gonna pull multiples until I get the hang of things.

I don't even know exactly what is is wrong with FD TBH, but it seems as if it has a really high "resist" rate, normal cons its sketchy enough, group cons it's like playing russian roulette with 5 rounds loaded.

Likely my only major issue right now, otherwise I'm enjoying the class.

If it's months out for a fix, I'm probably gonna end up maining something else though, likely do a DL as that felt so smooth to play, my other is back on Dark Trade.

You can do /lootmode Round Robin if someone in the group is looting like an American Inventor

Re monk FD: our puller monk says FD only gives you a success or fail message for your current target. So you don’t know if it really worked or not for the whole pack.

Our puller is a guy I don’t know who met my buddies in an EQ TLP. Apparently a long time pledger. So he knows the camps and the pulls, been really smooth. Not to mention we have an enchanter, and that helps bigly. Still trying figure out why necro is ever desireable when enchanter exists.

Can't necros corpse summon?

Enchanter is my jam but solo is out of the question. It's insanely slow.

Damn I cant log into the game. Stuck with the "Logging in with Steam" error.

Necro has a channeled mez, more damage and a pet that can offtank a lil with his heals on it.

Pgood.

Necro and Summoner both have corpse summons. I guess my thing - necros do not seem to be able to adequately fill the role of the enchanter. Their Mez is channeled and can only hit one target. Otherwise it’s roots and fears.

I don’t mind that necros exist and can work for some groups. But if an enchanter and a necro are both available for your one last group slot - is there EVER a reason to take necro? The answer imho is no. But I have only played with two and both were when our chanter was MIA. Both experiences were painful.

We did some aggro kite group with 2 wiz, necro, rogue and killed elite gadais a while like that. No tank needed.

Yeah. I raced my monk to 10 to play with FD. Miss that play style so much, loved fd on my SK.

But as soon as I got to 10 and started messing around I remembered what sucked about FD in original EQ. It failed all the time until you got to a much, much higher level. Seems to be true in Pantheon also, or I assume it gets better. But fd is pretty much useless at level 10.

You're right, I never played one myself until about Luclin I think, so likely far different.

I also forgot that it used to be a lvl 18 skill here, but it got bumped down to 10 at some point, perhaps there's some fuckery there too.

Still don't think any skill should be kinda useless vs level appropriate NPC's, skill max or near enough to it, no matter the difficulty of the game. I'm game with red cons laughing at my feeble flops and stomping my skull in, I don't think it should be a free run around everywhere you want risk free kind of deal, keep that kind of shit out of here.

No shadow knight ? I guess dire lord is their version? Only kinda gay and only up to chain?

Bah i hate being forced to be a pally

Well their HT is superior in this game.
