iksar planes gear

[Grizzled]

When velious is released iksar planar armor is pretty much junk. The true farm for the iksars will be plate house in kael. Thurg armor has more ac, hp, and saves than planar. In all honesty if people are to desire it, it needs in now. Following the classic timeline is one thing, making the same screw ups sony did is just retardation. This falls in line with greenmist being active quest for 4 years, but broken/bugged before they finally got around to fixing it. I realize making the same mistake as sony is following the timeline, but thats like getting kicked by a mule because someone else did.

There must be an Iksar here who is so inclined such that he could post a comment from the EQ devs regarding their reason for adding it. I'm thinking they meant to add it, never did, and it'd be a good thing to have available. After all, you don't have to add any new mobs in hate to do it.


I'd like to think the possibility could be entertained with a poll.

I believe their reason for adding it was that originally the iksar had the innate AC bonus, which would make up for them not being able to wear plate. The AC bonus wasn't as great as to be expected, and with new armor sets and new mobs that hit harder coming out, that AC bonus just wasn't going to cut it so they put in armor with higher AC and stats that Iksars could wear.

I think the post regarding that would be a good bargaining chip.

Any dev feel free to step in and shut me down, I'll be quiet about it if the matter is settled.

Following the classic timeline is the focus of the server, making the same screw ups sony did is the reason this server emulates classic well.

I will weep for the ungeared, non-iksar shaman when this goes in. Hey look, the last golem of the raid finally dropped something! ...and it's scaled heirophant.

I don't see a problem here. According to the timeline the hate/fear revamp happened 11 months after Kunark . . . which would be February. There aren't that many high level iksar sk/warriors yet anyway.

It's good to hear some support from the community, it would be really great to see this considering it will actually give me something to look forward to after I completed the dreadscale quests!

I guess what I'm looking for is some kind of official word so I know wether to ditch my SK for an iksar monk/necro, or continue down this path [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why don't you store your SK and go back to it when Velious and the Iksar armor come out ?

My toon is still 30, if I put it on ice and level another one to 60, I probably wont go back to it :P

That may be, who knows,meantime the other classes are fun too.

But look at from the developers point of view, there are a thousand players all with a thousand different ideas how the server should develop.
Every class and every race has its own pet peeve and every class and race has vocal people who believe they are being short changed.
If they give any one peeve or whine special attention, they will have to give them all special attention and they will never get anything done.

Also everyone of them think they have a valid complaint that should be addressed the same as you do.
And, there is always a few posters posting in favor of whatever the thread of the day happens to be,no sense in even dreaming that it's an up swell of wide support.

So what the developers should do, is stick to their own timeline,fix what they can as they go along and not give any one complaint special attention.

Lindalind gets it.

Hey all I'm asking for is the planes revamp on schedule. 100% classic motherfucker here.

[Messianic]

You're going to be viable without planar gear anyhow. Just play the character you want and deal with those things as they come.
