    The problem is that it would do 1 of 3 things.

    Eat the counter each tick, as DoTs used to of improved twincast for other classes.
    Require paladins to remove Force of Mercy from a stun-locking lineup in order to do a twin-hot because it will chew counters each cast for no gain.
    Cause us to tab target as you have suggested...for an inferior HoT. No TY.

    You know why? Because both the shaman and cleric group HoT has a higher base value and has stacking issues with our own.

    /eyeroll I always love waiting 6 secs for 60K worth of healing tho...

    This isn't a big deal and maybe not even a bug but doesn't this log message resemble a DoT and not a DD? Although, if the point was to not break root I imagine it would make sense to turn this into a DoT. Is the wording in the update notes backwards?

    Certainly seemed like a dot as Ward of Destruction was breaking mez every tick on raids Sunday...

    please delete Ward of Destruction. Weird 1300 dps boost with 20 minute cool down is Not Worth Fixing

    This is being looked at; for now you can try to log in by bypassing the patcher:
    1. Open cmd (Start > Run > cmd)
    2. Navigate to your EQ directory (ex: cd "C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\EverQuest" )
    3. eqgame.exe patchme

    But it looks so pretty. :(

    Kizant, Thank you. The command prompt patchme fixed it. It had been a while since I'd used it, but like riding a bike, realized I had to go up a directory

    /cd ..
    /cd public
    cd etc.

    Is there a cmd command to patch from Test server back to Live server?
  10. kizant Augur

    No problem, Niente.

    just patching game for first time in a long time had to redownload and when this is tried it says xul.dll was not found along with steam_api.dll

    Now getting the following error code once the server is selected and try to connect to it.

    Error 1017: Cannot login to the EverQuest server. You may need to re-run the Update Patch. Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the Patch Server. This is usually temporary.

    If you previously were patched to the Test server or haven't patched since before last Wednesday, unfortunately you'll have to wait until LaunchPad is fixed.

    I have 2 EQ game installs/directories, one that stays patched to Test and the other Flip/Flops back and forth.

    There are no problems or error messages when connecting to Test and accessing Test Characters while using my normal game shortcut to J:\Games\EverQuestI_test\LaunchPad.exe (I am not using any patchme workaround, Test connects just fine)

    It is my Live directory is patched to Live that is having the issues. First it was The Error 1017 is from the Live server directory. Connecting fine with no "patchme" work around on Test.

    TEST is using
    LaunchPad: 4.1.0.0 (173)
    Shell: 6.0.0.16
    Installer: 1.0.3.195
    Environment: live

    Now go figure... I did nothing and the live is connecting and I am on the character select screen. Must be a bad case of FM.

    Not a problem. It's 1 (or 2) counter per spell cast, not per tick (of Cleansing) as I reported in the thread I started.
    Not a problem, Force of Mercy doesn't twincast.
    Correct. If you want to twincast a duration heal, then Cleansing is your only option. Hence my post to the devs.

    Lol, beats waiting for a rez box.

    I buff block cleric single target Elixir because of healer mercs. Elixir of Wulthan overwrites and blocks paladin cleansing true and so what? either way I know I'm covered and for 2 Tunare counters doubly so. I'm never grouped with a shaman on raids, so not a practical issue.
  17. Allayna Augur

    I responded in paladin thread with data and rationales, where this belongs. It's not broken, adding 10m cost to recourse from Force of Mercy would be terrible. No one casts cleansing and will continue to not cast it.
  18. Wulfhere Augur

    I think your argument is baseless. The Devs have just given us a reason to cast Cleansing again (which is what I'm objecting to by reporting a bug here) and the min-maxers among us will do so. Except for one lol.

    Shared Task fight fire.
    Leader changes from group leader after request.
    Other character changes the task leader to group leader, it immediatly changes back.

    More notes: I can assign task leader to anyone else and it works. If I assign it to Bigstomp it switches away right away.

    I have tried dropping the task, camping all characters out and back in. No change.

    After zoning into the instance, the toon registers as offline to everyone else in the group
