944, 945, 946 in that second diff made me chuckle a bit.

Considering that statement that Geoffrey Z. left in the file is a half truth - most of it was hidden behind formulas, so he's not wrong but he's not right either.

Screaming Terror isn't added until July 1999, as compensation for Verant removing charm/beguile from necros.

Already have a bug open for the mage pet (and necro pet) procs.

The ench animations I am actually not aware of. They did have pets at release though, I see comments about them in the mailing lists.

Are you saying that Necro's will get the ability to Charm live mobs but have an additional fear instead of the 3 tick mesmerize?

Necro's *should* get a charm series, which should stay for several months. Then the series will be removed and a month later the original iteration of screaming terror will be introduced. This version was affectionally nicknamed "screaming train", as that is what it often brought on necros who didn't know quite how it worked. It was a short duration fear with an extremely high memory wipe chance(possibly 100%). Eventually this will be replaced by the ST that exists now on blue.

I suspect that part of the confusion of memory is that since clarity is a level 29 spell and it used to take players a considerable amount of time to level there are many enchanters (even that started on launch day) that would never have realized clarity wasn't in game until after launch because when they finally got to 29 it had already been added in...not to mention that folks simply didn't even know the names of their own class spells yet, let alone the buffs they wanted to ask for by name from another class.

Clarity is classic, and you have to realize people didn't even know what it did at first, it wasn't apparent at first. I remember people thinking Quickness was the enchanter version of SoW, because the spell message was "you feel faster"

Pre-google and all that, folks had to figure it all out on their own.

Not 100% DMN, I saw a patch message to that effect in the patch history.

Are Enchanters getting OP classic version of Whirl Till You Hurl ? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So, did the pre-Beta testers level up without Clarity, because I clearly saw in it game last night.
