[Vidrata]

Stupid changes to dots were stupid on live 12 years ago. Stupid changes to dots are stupid now on P99.

Some things classic should not be implemented. This is one of them.

Oh come on.

you say that but play a wizard. Seeing a shaman doting once and killing a mob while kiting while it takes a weeezrd half his mana sucks donkeyballs.

On live you had to tank or root to get the full damage of the DoT. That's why so many shamans played the Hp/AC game, including myself.

It is totally fair and it makes perfect sense.

There was another unannounced change. We nerfed all of the 20 charge single dose potions you've been vendor abusing for months. Tremble in fear, for we can content dev again finally.

RE: If a mob is moving (fear/flee don't count) when the damage from a dot is applied, it will take 66% of the damage that it would have normally taken.
Kanras: Defense and attack skill caps now affect avoidance/accuracy calculations.

I remember this went in and there was a hue and a cry on live. It didn't last too long before they removed it. I am hoping someone remembers and can tell me how long that was. To be honest, I'm surprised this change went in, since it is going to end up getting removed anyway and it was lame in the first place.

I remember this as well. It lasted maybe a few weeks at most?

This is the worst everquest patch ever! hahahaha still good job keeping it going with verant even when we hated them 8)

If only the Devs had nerfed pets too, then we can get the crying from every sector.

I am enjoying the whining.

what about the way the potions work? the minor > major pots, that is? I know the lower lvl trivial ones were behaving as if they were the highest lvl from the same line.

Kiting as a necro. Try it. Still takes about 40% mana to toss on all the dots (using lowest darkness spell) I dont like to take half an hour killing a mob with one dot, so I use 5. Fear kiting or regular kiting sucks now. I may be able to eat myself to reduce downtime, but still...

Either way, this nerf was removed later, so idc, it should be short lived.

The problem with your pointing out this about Shaman or any DOT class is I see wizards quadding all the time.

I'd love to be able to kill 4 mobs at once, take a 5-10 minute break and do it again and again and again instead of having to constantly be killing.

So wizards should NOT be talking.
