There were two combat overhauls one after vanilla, and one later on towards Lublin or pop. Enchanters and pet classes got massively more powerful.
That said, mages feel a bit under powered.
A ench pet with two fs daggers and swift like the wind used to be a broken killing machine.
I think pets relied less on con and had better innate stats, p99 seems to make up for it with raw hp, melee hits.
Pets probably just had really great ac/atk value on live but much lower ***HP, so they consistently could tank and dps red to the pet mobs. This makes total sense need a lot of combat logs with both pet end mob con plus running stats to prove that. I would, but I'm outgrowing the game sadly got serious illness to consider first.
Also high agi did make us run faster and stop us from being encumbered, I proved that with like 10 posts from external forums and an ancient real angelfire website that account got NUKED in a fit of wrath though. I was quite popular with mblake, ever after despite his animosity towards others like me and he was also a pretty straight laced fella that got devoured in a fit of cultural reassignment.
Anyway the proof is out there guys. I want to do EQ from scratch with vulkan api because I would get it right and publish a closed source licenced moldable server with FOSS level design tools.
Good luck getting mezzed fix and charm duration down to under 2 minutes 90% of the time as well as better agro requiring more focus on CC and cleaner pulls and probably halving the channeling rate for low AC cloth wearers.
Get that done, and it will feel tons better. Enchanters should also absolutely be splattererd into gibs by raid mobs in hate and fear. By the time you realize u got agro, it should be:LOADING PLZ WAITZ. Maybe a slim chance to live if you're planning your kite, cc and not waiting around like a goof with a charmed cleric ready to perma stun you, resist root and kill you with one totally unavoidable quad while disease cloud tries to land.
Im outa this thread for now folks, enjoy the recreation. It's fun. Even though it's not real.
