*facepalm* There is a vast difference between proper RPG class balancing (the original intent of EQ) and WoW class equalizing. It's easier to balance PvE than it is PvP as well. This line of discussion really shouldn't be so difficult.

i didnt read the rest of this as its just kind of running around in circles... but
"The fire pet would often not cast his damage shield as soon as you summon him and he wouldn't cast it when engaged in battle (which is right when you summon him if you're chain casting)." - Zuranthium thats not how it works on here, the fire pet innately has his DS no matter what, and chain casting the pets is by far the most efficient way of soloing at later levels as a mage. Not trying to sound rude but you should prolly do a lil more research into how things are working on this server before commenting on class balance and such.

People like Zuranthium need sterilized. Making claims without any supporting evidence, then demanding people believe him because he is a "certified expert", a young guru if you would.
Then again what did you expect from a guy who, when he found this project, spent the first week here on the forums telling the devs who run it that they were doing it all wrong. | ||

Good point. I should seek this guru's council about everything in EQ life. As a certified expert, who are we underlings to argue with him?

A note on Torpor is that it's an extremely mana efficient heal to use on the tank provided that they aren't taking burst damage (which slow generally ensures) and aren't hindered by the debuff provided by Torpor. Thus, if the tank is well-geared and a bit over-leveled for the content, a shaman - with their already excellent mana management - can easily heal a group in anything but the toughest content. Torpor is a high-level and rather rare spell, however, so it's likely that the shaman is done with one-group content by the time he has it. I've always considered druids by far the worst of the priest classes for healing as they just don't have anything but their sub-par heals, lacking both a better alternative and a strong mana management tool.

I'm not really interested in the spellcaster damage part, but the core of that issue stems from the fact that a) mana regen isn't fast or flexible enough to match melee DPS and b) caster itemization was crap until Velious and didn't become remotely balanced until much later. We're still at a point in the game where caster gear pretty much just gives hp and mana, and none of it affects your actual damage output. That's the design flaw that hinders those classes. | |||||

Jeez, this thread should be referenced on wikipedia or something as an example of an Argument from Authority fallacy.
So. Fail. | ||
