Ready to get good?

[azxten]

I dedicate this effort to cd288. Without his constant crying about my efforts to nerf Enchanter I might have lost motivation. He almost threw me when he claimed the client code wouldn't work well with modified server code but Nilbog confirmed that was bullshit.

You all ready to get good?

A level 1 Enchanter casting a level 1 spell after being hit 1 time has a 29% success rate on EQEmu code compared to 10% on proposed classic code.
A level 20 Enchanter casting a level 20 spell after being hit 15 or more times has a 26% success rate on EQEmu code compared to .00000004% on proposed classic code.
A level 50 Enchanter casting a level 50 spell after being hit 15 or more times has a 64% success rate on EQEmu code compared to 2% on proposed classic code.

Mmmmm.. I can't wait bros. See you in game once it goes live.

I couldn't understand the post and clicked the link hoping it would be a video that I could understand and it was a post 10x bigger than this post that read exactly the same.

lol...

tl;dr Channeling is provably classically overpowered on P99 and I have made it classic including a code change patch and in game testing. This includes changing from 1 channeling roll per cast to a channeling roll for every time you get attacked during the cast and a completely reworked channeling formula that will make each of those rolls significantly less likely to succeed compared to today.

All of this is proven via archived posts from Rashere, EQ Lead Developer, and a decompile of the EQ Mac client by an EQEmu developer which confirms the same functionality that Rashere outlined.

I assume since this is irrefutably proven by these two things and I have done all the work to change the EQEmu code we'll be getting classic channeling soon. This means the game is about to be about 1000X more difficult than it is today.

It also means I will play again during the next Green launch and it will be glorious when no one can even get to level 20 without rage quitting.

I remember getting interrupted on live

I guess an enchanter took this guy's camp or something?

I was playing with some level 70 shrouds on live and they were getting interrupted a lot. Obviously very not classic environment, but felt much more classic than what I have got used to here!

Lol, it totally will

[unsunghero]

um, I dunno about other enchanters but I can't facetank hits at level 51 anyway. Even if I don't get interrupted, my rune will likely fall off, and re-applying the rune costs both time and mana

Not to mention high level spells have long as balls cast times. I always do a color shift in between swings -> gcd reset -> either root or mez depending on whether it's melee or caster -> then either back up and cast or gcd reset after mez and cast

who TF sits and channels through multiple mob hits at high level? Must have crazy good gear
