Enchanter OP impact poll

[azxten]

Even as a high level Enchanter myself now I am still working on getting this ridiculously overpowered and non-classic class fixed. We know charm never worked this well in classic, we know all pet HP is too high and double so for Enchanter pets, we know channeling rates are too successful, and so on. There are multiple bug reports on these issues if you want to review the evidence. In spite of the evidence that has been gathered Enchanter remains a ridiculously overpowered class that was never this way in classic. I feel it really ruins a lot of the EQ experience in various ways.

I wanted to ask the community, how do you feel about Enchanter? Is it overpowered compared to classic? Does it impact the game by trivializing solo, group, and/or raid content?

unless paralyzing root is intentionally amazing
my experience as a live root nuking wiz noob was consistent root breaking
can’t imagine consistent charm is era accurate

Classicly OP where dialup made things scarier for charm

[bomaroast]

The easiest way to kill the bees on isle 6 is with charm pets? That shit is not classic and obviously not right.

The enchanter is only as powerful as the player

so no nerf

Its overpowered we just don't know exactly how or why.

Based on P99 experience enchanter is god mode kill it all charm king.

On live enchanter was great for having clarity and crowd control.

I don't think live players were so dumb. I think something is different here. Many of us have now played project 1999 longer than we played live, so its hard to rememeber. What to do? Who knows.

[bomaroast]

Charm never lasted this long on live. If charm lasted for a couple minutes, then that was a good charm. Everyone knows it, but the devs are biased for some reason. Who knows /shrugs

must be hard to code or unknown variables lost to time

[Gustoo]

bombaroast - Dev's just need facts and no one had provided detailed facts to back it up.
snortles - yep

Wait a sec can't we play one of the modern everquest TLP servers and see how these spells operate? Wouldn't it give us some base line?

I mean, in general here yes, absolutely.

But there's been over a decade of bug reports about Enchanters, often with evidence ... and nothing has ever come of them. So it kinda makes you think more bug reports, with more evidence, isn't going to change the underlying issue (and that the underlying issue may actually be that Nilbog's a big Enchanter fan [You must be logged in to view images.
