Good afternoon, Heroes

We will be coming down in 15 minutes for a quick hotfix to fix several issues;

Zone crashes around pet commands going to pets which are already dead
the 'Melee Attack' and 'Ranged Attack' buttons not being depressed
attackmode not defaulting to melee
Inappropriate items dropping or being summoned

Downtime is expected to be minimal.


Did they even test this shit at all, because it looks like they didnt. I had to do the #attackmode BS in every zone I entered to attack, lol.

Speaking of poor testing..

This is why melee will continue to be shit on this server. When it comes to casters...FUCKING SEND IT!! But when it comes to melee, it's somehow always "concerning" when talking about any kind of QOL for how fucky discipline timers are.

People wanted autoskill but not that bad

this exp bonus was great though, i think i got 400ish aas yesterday, so my sk/wiz/brd is at 940ish, by the time this exp bonus is done ill max that shit out. I can face tank swarming the entirety of DN while my DDDs go off now which is kinda funny

I group with a bard that can pull the entire second half of POF. kills it all in one shot, zone lags, comes back, and item from quarm will have 50% exp from 0.

Pretty sweet.

Also, I don't know what the fucking deal was with Quarm last night, but I couldn't come close to killing him with my SK/Rog/Wiz, even with a shield on. My hard casted tap wasn't healing for shit or would get interrupted. Out of 7 or so attempts, I don't think I got below 80% once. On the previous 5 kills, I think I died 1 or 2 times total.

Additionally, I transferred my Monk's Quarm, that he can't kill, over to my SK/BRD/Wiz and the same shit was happening. Was getting completely trucked and dying within 2 rounds if defensive cooldown wasn't up.

Yea, I don't see how 20 minute cd on ripostes would be too strong. You'd get to use them every 3-5 bosses? If they're concerned about people being to use it more for AAing, that's just straight pants on head.

## Autoskill System Guide

As per the change-log, you can now make use of the `#autoskill` command to automatically use certain skill-based attacks in combat.

### Basic Syntax
#autoskill <skill name> enable
#autoskill <skill name> disable
#autoskill list

### Example Usage
#autoskill flying kick enable // Enables autoskill for Flying Kick
#autoskill backstab enable // Enables autoskill for Backstab
#autoskill list // Lists currently enabled autoskills


You can disable a specific autoskill like this:
#autoskill backstab disable // Disables autoskill for Backstab


#### Supported Skills
The following skills are currently supported:

- Backstab
- Bash
- Tiger Claw
- Eagle Strike
- Dragon Punch / Tail Rake
- Flying Kick
- Round Kick
- Kick
- Frenzy

> Note: **Dragon Punch** and **Tail Rake** are treated as the same skill, depending on race (e.g., Monk Iksar use Tail Rake).

### Important Notes
- **No timer deconfliction is handled by the system.** If you enable multiple skills that share the same cooldown or animation lock, they may interfere with one another.
- Only enable the skills you want to be used. For example, Monks may want to be careful skills do not share cooldowns, etc.

I think i was seeing for the sk/brd/wiz combo they were just double life tapping and praying on RNG to kill him haha

Yeah its basically RNG. There is a dmg threshold that when reached and your procs dont go off, youre fucked. Shm has healing totems and bear form plus other AA that adds additional healing. It can help to get you over the hurdle.

BRD with Twincast can basically DDD all of PoFire in a couple casts, but 36 seconds of riposte chaining every 20 minutes would be "too strong".

Apparently their reasoning is that it'd be "too strong" for pinnacle bosses.

If you're a melee on this server, just quit wasting your time, honestly. At the very least, you should be rolling some sort of hybrid build. Using a white damage build is just a waste of time and their power keeps decreasing with each expansion.

Finally decided to try this out. Gone Nec/Cleric/Shaman (almost did mage instead of necro but oh well). Let me know if any groups are around that wouldn't mind a noob joining up.

Don’t quote me on this, but someone said their dps went up with auto skill I assume due to the instant deactivation of the skills instead of waiting for a spam button click. It’s probably super small and not worth worrying about.

LOL. Melee smoked the fuck out of casters in EQ all the way until SoF, homie. There were a couple outlier fights where WIZ could top parse, or outlier expansions like TSS for Bard, but outside of that? They got bodied by melee.

Have YOU even played EQ?

LOL this is why they had to put in prismatic strike for the casters to even begin to be close to melee with their spells. They did this to try and balance caster vs melee.

AND spell power, which vastly outscales "atk" for melee.
