Edit: formatting didn't go through. Should be fixed now.
Actually expected this sooner along with the druid/shaman dot nerfs. Cant say its not deserved especially in the case of the Mind Tempest line.
Yikes neutered. What a bummer. It's been nice getting something out of chanters since there hasn't been more than a handful of raids with any need to cc in recent EQ. It's also been nice having chanters logging in. This is yet another heavy handed nerf when a smaller adjustment would have sufficed. Needs to be reconsidered.
Absolute joke. We gonna get any meaningful CC raids or we just gonna continue another 3 or 4 years this way?
Even though I know this is probably reasonable for balancing, it still feels bad. I got my chanter 110 and most important aa, was planning to pl another one so I can xfer him to another server to play with some friends, now I feel lazy.
The mana return nerf feels especially savage. The dot already had to last at least half a minute to have a chance of payback, now it just totally can't pay back ever. What even is the dot now, why even have the mana return? This happened to the necro mana-impacting dot too, just totally lost identity and became another random damage spell.
maybe they can randomize it like hot-zones where damages on spells and weapons randomly move each month +- 50 to 200%
I am boxing 4 toons since many years ..................... shaman ------->>> got huge nerfs on dots druid -------->>> got huge nerfs on dots chanter ------>>> we will see how big the dot nerfs mage -------------->>> ( I guess they are the next? to be nerfed ). I guess I will need to get use to kill much slower after all the nerfs.
The pattern has been to overnerf, have a month of heated debate, then partially de-nerf, leaving the imvolved parties with some sense of improvement, leading to acceptance, then it becomes the new normal. Either by chance, or by design, this seems to work.
The 9 second recast on mind tempest seems like the big mistake to me. The rest would have been plenty.
Ouch my poor enchanter alt. Was great while it lasted - hope they partially peel back on these very heavy handed nerfs.
