I spent a bit of effort getting recharging to work. I am for keeping it.

All for duck interrupt casting going away, as long as medding with face in spell books goes with it.

Why? it completely trivializes the content, it makes some of the most difficult encounters laughable and takes away from the spirit of the game. The same reason why soulfires were made paladin only and the Donal's BP got nerfed.

If I can get a hold of some plat, charge puppet strings to sell overthere hammers, use profits to buy more chargeables, I can literally do anything I want in the game without ever grouping, and making 6 man groups sit there s-o-l while I solo a camp.

On a highly congested server like blue, where content is 3 years old, wouldn't it make sense to allow people to play and not reward those who exploit merchant buy backs.

Also it's disabled on red because it was determined very early how bad it was... and thats a 200 person server.

Item recharging is very bad. Every player on the server wasn't doing it on live.

Show me logs from live of people blowing midnight mallets on every raid encounter and rushing it down while giving 0 fucks.

Ducking is an easy one, nail that.

To offset ducking, spell gems will refresh with insta clickies. The above sounds good to me.

Item recharging is Classic. We were recharging rez sticks up until the price was nerfed way after Velious release. How come the price is so high right now??? Not Classic.

Another point is I don't think with midnight mallet recharging that its even possible for someone to get low hp aggro during raid mob aoe's.

Classic experiencerience v. classic mechanics. You often can't have both. This is one of those times. I don't get the impression that even CLOSE to "everyone" uses wc caps though, especially not frequently, let alone nets rings mallets ch clicks sham pots etc. Almost no one rocks strings bladestoppers shield of the immaculate etc, they are just visible when they do imo.

I'd be excited to see duck + refresh changes roll around though!

IBs total membership is 1% of the population. The 3 Class C raid guilds combined are about 5% of the population. The Class R guilds are like 14% of the population.

You can disagree, but you're wrong.

This. Any leveling group you're in? I'd be surprised if even one them has a hat on them. Most 60s usually do but only because their leaders tell them to for raids... 50/50 chance it isn't even charged. You'd think of any guild, a-team would be whoring the the clickies left and right, right? I give away a charged mallet at every single raid tecmos attends because it's rare we have more than 1 tank with a charged one!

Liia soloing dartain, sakuragi soloing rokyl, svenn and Maurice soloing every mob on the server? Yeah, they often use clickies. But go read maurices kills. He did stuff like the sham epic dude in com solo without clickies. Raid guilds only use big-time clickies in extreme situations, they aren't out there soloing trak with a few monks loaded with soulfires and bladestoppers and shit.

This whole "recharging is ruining pve challenge" is just red troll anyways... hence nilbog moving this thread here from the bug forums.
