Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

FD pulling was time consuming, annoying and generally a waste of time. There was a plethora of CC available in EQ that was both better, more reliable, faster, and let you pull more shit in crowded areas where there was high competition for spawns.

I mained a Shaman and I was often enough CC by myself with Root. If the tank wasn't a complete moron he'd be paying attention and just keep moving back as I rooted each mob individually. If he was a complete moron I'd cast slow then sit to draw aggro and root in place, move, sit again, root, and so on.

FD... fucking lol.

Quite the opposite, I fought tooth and nail with those classic haters and still do

Risking pacify crit resists and monkeying with mobs to get an FD single is fine by me

Hell sometimes you'd have to use those things together on the right pulls depending on the mob/group's level attempting it

Our first foray deep into live side lguk on live EQ was successful and unforgettable

Think most of the time I saw fd pulling was in raid settings like in the planes. Wasn’t really something we did much in groups (unless of course we had a monk that was gung ho about it)

I was thinking the same thing, really. I mean its a tool to break a camp, sure. You use whats available. But most raids, shit like pacify and root aint working. Temple of Veeshan didnt REQUIRE monks, but it was sure af easier with them.

It really comes back down to - multiple different ways to do that same thing 80% of the time and, allowing a system to be and grow and let "unintended" things remain and not be so sterile.

Games now, set in stone by WOW - are "There are X ways to do this with Z combo of Q classes" anything beyond that, the Q of the classes will cry that someone took their jorb and well, we cant have that.
