![]() Greetings P99.
Today, while at work, spacing off staring at my computer screen, I began to think back right as Velious was coming to a close and Luclin was near launch. I was trying to remember (me, as a Shaman) what other classes did specifically. I would like to break down (and I'll give credit to another post I found on google somewhere) each class based on how they were near the end of Velious. Example: Cleric: During this ERA of EQ, the Cleric had mastered the CH chain. Rarely did any other heals get used by a Cleric. Paladin: ?? Rogue: With primal weapons and epics, Rogues were uncontested, the best dps IN EQ. Druid: Decent support healers, kings of nothing. Their HP buffs were still sub-par to Clerics (or were they??). Warrior: Best tanks, due to skillcaps. Monk: Took a hefty tanking nerf in Velious. Still a high DPS class and great pullers. Shadowknights: ?? Enchanters: Velious was pure hell for Enchanters with the HIGH MR of bosses and raid encounters. Can't remember how this was handled near the end of Velious. Shamans: Disease based slow FTW. King of buffers with Primal Avatar. Wizards: Lore spells allowed them to be a favorite to raid leaders with considerable raid damage. Wizards are really vague to me tbh because I don't recall really having any memorable ones around at the time. Necromancers: No serious raid force ran without at least 3. Necros allowed the CH chains to function longer. Something tells me that during this point in EQ, Necros were above Monks and other DPS classes (obviously below a Rogue) due to the much larger health pool of bosses, allowing them to stack 5 dots (in my raid force, ONE of our Necros who did nothing but DPS was actually above the Rogue in DPS iirc). How were resists on bosses for Necros during this state of Everquest? Magicians: Epic pet Magicians were the only viable ones during this era (that's about all I remember). Ranger: ?? Bard: Resist songs were KING in Velious. Every raid wished they had 5. Please, add your memories of Velious class balance. I know some of my memories may be incorrect, but this was many years ago. | ||
