jboots becoming a quest rather than dropping off najena

More of an upgrade than a nerf, they now reliably drop at 2 camps with frequency.

The one institution i trust above all others is The Olympics.

Should fly to China and get the Olympics official ruling here.

Bards being limited to 25 mobs while swarming AND also leashing being implemented which makes swarm kiting (and just general pulling) more tedious.

Not being able to give your pets commands while you are casting a spell (this was nerfed a couple years ago along with not being able to see dot damage).

Having your dot damage be reduced if a mob is moving

Forget to mention the dark elf mask only being available to bards/rogues later on.

I stopped playing Ark after they nerfed the flyers. That was total BS.

Yeah talking EQ live history…enchanter charm got nerfed to where charming it debuffed the mob significantly

And at one point pet focus + pet mitigation was so bonkers that one single pet focus earring made pets better tanks than all but the best raid geared players and that lasted a while. It was how I was able to do all the game’s group content with a mage/nec duo that didn’t even need to slow, mage pet just tanked all adds at once while the mage threw out mini-pets (gargoyles) to offtank if I got like more than 2 adds

That lasted a while but eventually got nerfed a few expac’s ago

not just bards, but the 25 mob AE limit in general.

the biggest nerf known to humanity is post nut clarity

Pet commands still work if you type them instead of pressing UI buttons.
