Sorry to see the shaman pet fix go in, but it is correct. I seem to recall the change to equipping weapons happening in early Velious. I do remember hitting the Ry'Gorr camp in EW for pet weapons on the way to soloing the entrance guards in Kael, and I stopped soloing there long before Luclin was released. I can't find any evidence to support the date of change though, so this is anecdotal crap at best.

I'm glad DoT stacking was implemented in the same patch to offset the pet change, though.

Also, to go back ten pages, Motec is right. Using the JBB effectively in combination with things like DoT stacking and/or a slow weapon with a damage proc is clearly more dps than swinging away like an idiot.

I too remember a lot of bash interrupts in my Live days as a paladin. However, what mwatt says a few posts up worries me. I remember a lot of interrupts, but being stunned quite infrequently.

I'll throw in the caveat that I have not yet logged in to experience this patch. I did want to echo a couple sentiments in thread though. I am another player that thought I channeled through way too many casts on this server (ostensibly prior to this patch). Of course, I liked that =) I'll be somewhat sad to see it changed.

What I'll still be absolutely giddy for, however, is logging in to play.

I saw this, but I think more needs to be done:

Does the Necromancer specter pet take weapons, last I checked it did... but I haven't grouped with a necro in awhile.

In regards to shaman pet weapons.

I was able to find some hearty discussions on how to increase your shaman pets dps with dual wield weapons from 2003.

you can use this as a starting point

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/c...=1070418683609

to track back to a forum discussion that no longer exists... however if you use the internet archive way back machine deal

you can turn

http://forums.interealms.com/shaman/...threadid=16724

into something readable... there are further links on there as well but i'd imagine they no longer exist either so make good use of the internet archive deal at

http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

but either way it does appear shaman pets should be able to use weapons in classic (or at least sometime in 2003 I'd imagine they would have posted something in the patch notes if they nerfed it back then)... but if its overpowered or not i leave to the discretion of the dev's here.

There was no song window until 2003. This is a good change which should slightly affect the difficulty of buffing for raid npcs.

Quote:

JANUARY 9, 2003

We have added a new window to the interface along with new game functionality. The Songs window is a new buff window that holds up to 6 bard song buffs. This increases the potential maximum effects that a character can have to 21 (15 standard and the 6 new ones). The new window only holds certain bard songs (generally the 3-tick songs). Only beneficial songs will qualify for the new buff box, and not all of those. Any buff in the new Songs window is considered temporary and will not be saved when you zone.
Songs that qualify to go into the new window will go into that window first. Any qualifying songs over six will be rerouted to the main Effects window. Cancel Magic effects will see these new buff slots as buff slots #16-21.
