There is a log of mcoy's wizard (Qien?) Getting owned by a green con skelly in 2001. Channeling definitely OP on P99 the is no question

[Kohedron]

Oh I get it

People only want stuff classic when its at the detriment of others

Got it.

[loramin]

My theory is that it's just natural human bias blindness.

Nilbog probably played an Enchanter in classic, and he remembers channeling and charm working better than they actually did. Consciously or unconsciously, it's corrupted his otherwise incorruptible passion for classic EQ.

P99 is the emulator of the memory of two dudes who played EQ.

It is not an emulator of everquest, it never has been, and it's varied towards and away from being the latter in most major patches without ever consistently attempting to be the former.

That is why everything is so severely over tuned.
That is why sneak pulling was never implimented correctly, then removed entirely.
That is why for 5 years AC didn't work here. And they still wont 'flick the switch' for rangers.
That is why 'rare' drops are insanely rare. Manastones should be a 1/4 or so drop rate, not 1/25 or so. Repeat for all 'rare'.
That is why dragons drop 2-3 less items than they did on live in most instances here.
That is why resist rates are so broken and player resists are comically useless compared to live.
That is why npc spell caster behaviour here was not correct for pre velious.
That is why npc spell caster behaviour is not correct even post velious.
And.....
That is why channeling is so broken here.

And many more things. This is the emulation of a memory of a game.

And I'm thankful we have it as it beats the shit out of the other options until someone finally fixes TAKP client.

Claiming that charm isn't classic is no different than claiming it totally is classic. You're claiming some kind of special objective knowledge of the old game. Your memory is just as suspect as anyone else's.

Charm is powerful yeah, it also breaks constantly on hard mobs and you die a lot. That's the tradeoff. Can a chanter solo chardok prince? Yes, after like 30 failed attempts.

Curious what the evidence for all of this is? Not disputing your claims, I'd actually find it interesting to read if you have sources.

Wasn't channeling a client issue or something? I feel like I remember someone saying something about it being hard to fix.
