Mage Rant

[Marqus]

I returned to p99 and only lasted about an hour. Hadn't played p1999 in about 8 months. Got some pvp in about 20 mins, was fun. Then... my epic pet was poofed. Today I learned that bards can poof epic pets. Insta dead epic pet.. wtf.

I give up.

[Humerox]

No reason to go over 55 as a mage

[maerilith]

[Jimmybones]

Enchanters can also charm your pet then wreck u with your own shit. mages suck

Velocity at 58.

Major upgrade 2 da kit.

Yah bards suck. Discourages mage as a main, how ever the class and pet can do insane shit/OP.

Yeah but that implies you're doing something besides CoHing and logging off to play a useful character. Kinda like a druid...port and log off. Or any hybrid currently (at least in velious rangers are useful for pulling with weaponshield). Necros also worthless.

Really there are like 4 classes worth actually playing as a main.

Mine is good for stealing tstaffs and killing the azrael/strydur/dane alliance.

I refuse to be a coh bot. Maybe kael faction in my future. All about dem ledges.

All this min/max shit makes me sick.

this nerds answer to getting killed? join holocaust so everyone on server wont attack you

Charming pets was a bug on live. It was removed in the same patch as AE fear still landing on players, also a bug.

I am fine with leaving it in but I am not fine with picky choosey when it comes to "cuz classic." I'd like to see AE fear in and landing this is classic and on par with charming pet, also recharging items this is classic, Unlimited plat from making arrows by the bulk is classic, removal "balance" changes applied to instant gate potions and golem wands (not classic), backstab mechanics need toning they are not doing classic damage, falling and not taking damage isn't classic, players displaying on mobs or pets upon entering zone isn't classic, mages not being able to pet attack and assist pet for target isn't classic this was the CoH mechanic, The guard system in place is sullon zek and isn't classic, resist debuffs did 1 and 1/2 not double.

I'd prefer the devs to recognize certain mechanics do not belong due to the game breaking quality they offer and make changes for quality of life while keeping classic experience. Mages don't get rune, roots, shadow steps, lures, mez, charms, self heals, FD, succor, the other casters offer. They only have the pet and instantly killing is beyond overpowered when it can already easily be mezed, rooted, feared which are mechanics a mage has a chance to counter.

[Guido]

agree with melveny

a mages only power is his pet - should not be ez to poof it.

[Swyft]

Charming a pet does not give you control of it, it poofs

[Nirgon]

Have you considered its not picky Choosey and more what time they have to do things

Would revert all nonclassic changes except track tooth not working on players

[XiakenjaTZ]

Mages are good for farming Phinny in classic or anything you can chain summon stuff to kill.

[Melveny]

Why not track tooth? That's my point.... Picky choosey. I know why trak tooth shouldn't be in because its click would ruin pvp. Same with recharging and hooping or 5 charge prayer heals. Completely breaks pvp. Just like charm killing pets breaks pvp for a mage.

Good post. It reminded me of pet guard. That usually made pet attack kos mobs within a certain range bubble didn't it?

[Swyft]

Of course you would that way every player could insta gate pot out of pvp.

Only the bluest of the blue say dumb shit like this.

Why not just make the entire server pvp /duel only

[Melveny]

Yes pet guard would attack mobs within a certain range but they did have to be KOS. It would not attach mobs that had faction with the player.

guards work just like they did here as they did on classic talon zek. so you are completely wrong on that point. probably everything else.

[Jimmybones]

Wrong.

Enchanter charmed our mages pet in solb last night and we had two fire pets with one mage.

I didn't get killed. I got my pet poofed, unable to continue fighting I left.

[Jimmybones]

I would love to enjoy outside but its been 15 degrees and under for the past month. I run to the train then sprint into my building then run back into my apartment to spend as little time outside as humanly possible.

Read the patch notes for yourself and don't take my word for it.

You're a young guy should probably consider miami 81 degrees chicks with thongs in the beach right now.
