If I ever was embarrassed about something that happened in a video game I'd have serious problems to consider. Unlike most people on P99 I actually played classic EQ. I quit right before Kunark and came back late in Velious just before Luclin. There are probably like 5 people on P99 who remember classic era with the same detail I do.
NO ONE was leveling Enchanter in classic EQ unless they hated themselves. By far statistically it was the least popular class. That is why I hate P99 Enchanter so much because I basically want to play Green launch, relive my classic glory, and then quit when Kunark comes out and yet there is Enchanter the most popular class totally inverted from classic.
I was playing actually fun classes and cybering elfs not posting on the SOE forums about why my class seems to be worse with every patch. To answer your question, I share it because those who know classic know I'm right. Those who don't will keep thinking their memories of Luclin and PoP mean anything. One of my recent favorite reads was archived Enchanter posts where everyone agreed they don't even memorize Mez. That's how broken Enchanter was. When they fixed Mez which was broken in about 10 different ways, Enchanters complained they couldn't DoT mobs anymore because they used to be able to DoT a Mezzed mob. I could play P99 Enchanter well but I don't want to, it's a near zero downtime OP class and I only played EQ as something to do to make things I didn't want to do more enjoyable like cleaning the house. I can't clean the house if I have to keep charming and have no reason to stop. I like quadding, I like downtime breaks for cybering elfs and tidying my study.
You weren't there, poser...

I kinda felt this was genuine at first but not anymore. This is a bizarre, self-righteous quest to nerf chanters. I don't really give a shit if enchanters are OP or not, I've rolled many 60s and enc was actually one of the most fun to play; and if you're a shitty chanter it shows. When you hit 60 is when it gets boring, but I digress. Your channeling modification is misguided - the things that made things classic will never come back. As a refutation to your "I remember" argument, I also remember plenty of good enchanters. One in particular on Tholluxe Paells in my guild who was a mega-boss when it came to chantering. This was pre-kunark through the end of Luclin. So "I remember" your argument as false. Going after channeling as an avenue to rebalance "classic" is a fool's errand, at best. Penny wise, pound foolish. Focus your insights elsewhere.
