Jboots resetting gcd

[jaybone]

I heard this was classic but never heard anyone talk about it for how broken/good it is.

[arsenalpow]

Any clicky resets it

[Pheer]

you just noticed? it was on beta like a month ago and its been on live since I believe the 4/27 patch lol

[SyanideGas]

So leet

[Tecmos Deception]

It is RIDICULOUSLY good for enchanters. Omfg. Like doubles my survivability when I don't need to wait 2 seconds between stuns/roots/etc :)

[webrunner5]

Yeah, it is a game changer for Enchanters. :D

[jaybone]

Well yeah any click resets it. So good.

[Tecmos Deception]

Does that tinkered telescope thing click from inventory AND without having to target yourself? Does the effect from it actually affect your vision?

[khanable]

Just get a goblin earring bruh

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

Rod of insidious glamour seems to be the best for enchanters as you stay on target and there are no indoor/outdoor checks.

Know what's gonna be bad for enchanters? When channeling is brought more in line / resist checks. That VoG'd bok knight becomes QUITE a liability!

:o

I'm praisin' the sun atm and will leave it alone.

[Tecmos Deception]

Just get a goblin earring bruh

Believe it or not, I actually already have one :p

But I'd prefer to not have a mostly-wasted piece of equipped gear if there is a better option.

You're feeling friendly.

This is where you "classic" people lose me. You want to knowingly put an exploit back in the game? Just cause the devs didn't fix it 13 years ago?

Does not compute.

[Daldaen]

My enchanter uses rod
My Druid uses Manastone / goblin earring
My cleric wtb goblin earring

This bug is fun for micromanaging min/maxers. Specifically when CCing stuff does this make your life way easier. For Canni it also helps.

imo they need to put the 'anyone can attack anyone that is LD' bug back in

duels were luls in ec tunnel on live, INTIMIDATE, OMG GANG BANG IN TUNNEL

Why wouldn't i?

Does not compute.

If you're not a "classic" person maybe try playing on a server that wasn't set up with the intention of being classic. This is where the non-classic people lose me. EZ server is just a click away. Hidden forest is pretty popular too.

[deadlycupcakez]

what youre saying is i can canni // sow boots // canni forever with no waiting?


or on a wizzie - nuke > jboots > root without having to wait for the gems to refresh??

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

Canni 2 // sow boots // canni 3 // sow boots etc...


Or if you're on beta: canni 4 // sow boots // canni 3 etc....

There is still a refresh on the spell you just casted so you need to cycle between two to allow enough time for the other to pop.

With you 100%.

[Juevento]

Ah fuck. I guess I am wrong about this one.

You're defending a massively beneficial exploit and then telling someone to go play on an EZ server?

[Cecily]

Ah fuck. I guess I am wrong about this one.

I support whatever nets the most tears. Every caster throughout the land weeping... mmm.
And also it blatantly bypasses an intended game mechanic.

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

Cecily confirmed highest TPS (tears per second) rogue on the server.

[Cecily]

Still mad about IGS nerf. Want to see world burn.

P1999 is intended by its creator(s) to more-or-less recreate classic EQ. That means classic mechanics generally get put in/left in place, even if the mechanics seem like exploits or imbalances today.

No, classic mechanics don't always remain in place on p99. No, p99 isn't totally devoid of custom mechanics. But none of this is stuff that "does not compute" with the stated purpose of the server.

[jaybone]

hmm

[HawkMasterson1999]

Although I may seem like a classic purist I don't think it would break classic if they did away with this.

[Ele]

Now we just need classic spell casting i.e. no instant interrupts via ducking. Just like red!

I actually don't understand why this was implemented on red but not blue.

Was it after Velious release that they finally disabled sitting during your cast? I remember Clerics getting in a med tick or two during CHeal casts, but I can't recall when that got nerfed.

Thi made items like Donal's arms much better in kunark. I know at least
For part of kunark this was possible, thought fix came after velious but don't know.

[Iumuno]

You still could not complete 2 spells within one global cooldown (3 sec?). Not sure if it's working this way atm.

Classic example: Mezz a mob, use jboots to clear GCD, cast color shift (1.5 sec) right away: You get "spell recovery time" not met message. You had to wait a little over 1 sec after clearing the GCD to be able to cast color shift. It was still immensely useful though.

While it wasn't working as intended, it took them *4* years to fix it. At one point, it becomes a feature, not an exploit or a bug.

- Spell and Item Interruption: Ducking will now interrupt a spell
instantly.

Damn guys.

It worked like this till 2001. Unless you played something that cast no spells, this is something you should definitely remember.

In addition to this, you *should* be able to sit down during a long cast from a spell or clicky. As long as you are standing when it completes, it should resolve and cast.


I hope this is a joke. It obviously takes a lot more skill to pay attention to wtf you're doing and not cast the wrong spell.

If you review the patch notes, you'll discover we didn't have this functionality until long after pve was opened.

I support it being added purely because it should classically be there until June, 2001. It wasn't added because pve had been up for multiple years. PvP server had the option of starting with it.

Regardless, this is the pvp bugs section, so working as intended until midway Velious.

Yeah, I was more mocking the implication that wanting things to be not exactly classic = whining for easy mode EQ.

[applesauce25r624]

this awesome fact needs to be mentioned in the wiki in multiple places

[Bill Tetley]

Will this "feature" be around a long time or is it being fixed next patch?

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

You can still do this if you toggle sit/stand with ur spellbook.

I do it casting long ass spells.

[Ele]

Should be for the remainder of the server's life. Think this was fixed in PoP.
