Enchanters will now feel the DoT nerfs

    Shaman - Greatly reduced the damage of combined DoTs above level 70.
    - Shaman - Increased the damage on Curse of Sisslak so that it is an upgrade to Bane as intended. Increased damage on higher level spells in the Blood of Saryrn DoT line as a result.

    is still not in line with what they were before being combined

    Your opinion of me doesn't change the effects of the over-nerfing. I will pass on your sentiments to all the people from the grinder guilds who actively try to recruit me.

    By all means continue trolling in your bid to win the DPS class war for one-handed distracted players of your class above anyone actually trying.
  3. Ninelder Augur

    I agree with you, and it was and still is overhanded. My post was to clear up the trolls misconception that both classes dots were un-nerfed to be better than they were in TBM. Some of the druid lines are still abysmal and kicked back to a VoA level of DPS.

    I am a part time raider at best now, and I made the comment the other night on raids that with mostly TBM gear and no rk 3 spells I was still top 5 parse as enchanter. I thought it was kind of silly so I'm not surprised by the DPS nerf.

    What I struggle with is what some other Enc have already expressed... what's our role on raids? The last 3 expacs now we have been primarily DPS on raids. The last time I remember using CC primarily throughout an expac was TDS, and those were some fun raids for an enchanter, imo.

    DoTing all the adds and throwing in DD in between to destroy traditional DPS classes on parse is fun, for a while... it's a lot of work switching targets and pressing all those buttons, but it's not really a challenge.

    CC heavy raids are more challenging and a lot more fun for this enchanter at least.

    I am sure you are a very good healer and any of those guilds would be lucky to have you.

    Wait wait wait. Is this fake news? When did I say those things in your quote of me?

    I think we can all agree that druid DPS was OP. Enough with the sky is falling, over exaggerating.

    I know it's very unlikely, but it would be great if they give us our original spiritual rebuke back. Shmmy dot was a bit op, so nerf was probably needed, but I never understood the reason behind messing up with our root aa. I returned for a while, maxed my shmmy's aa, and just let him stay silver now, if they make a new aa(since the old name has been used for ae root) that function like our old spiritual rebuke, I would eat a krono to buy it :)
  9. Liljit Augur

    I know at least 1 other shaman who main changed away from shaman and hates playing the shaman related to the consolidation of the punts/roots and dot revamps. The root consolidation made no sense.

    Was there truly a for this? Perhaps someone needed to feel busy.

    Clerics are easiest, have the most robust tool set, but dru & especially shm direct healing ability is totally sufficient in "solved" encounters. There may be a cultural challenge getting them to devote full time to pro-active heal spam, but the class is capable.
  13. Cadira Augur

    Hahahahahahaha.
    No.

    A good shaman can work to an in a pinch, but let me know how your raids go when you replace all the cleric with shaman.

    I believe pretty firmly that if my raid's current, good cleric players were compelled in some way to take their skills and attitude to all play with shaman spells/abilities instead of cleric spells/abilities some evening, we would still easily win all of the events we normally do. It's entirely likely that there'd be less risk of catastrophe in some encounters. Pursuant to Lianeb's post that I quoted, there is no absolutely indispensable class in EverQuest raiding.

    All dem 90%. We have some guildies that would end up 108 soon.
  17. Brohg Augur

    collateral benefit : those players might be forced to learn the self-preservation abilities pretty much every class has some variety of to deploy :p

    Try playing better. Or being a rational human being.

    You saw druid and shaman dots revamp, followed by nerf. You knew that enchanter ones were going to get nerfed. If you didn't, you were being oblivious or dumb. You are not dps. You are not special. You do not deserve to have cc related raid mechanics on every raid.

    Haste and clarity please!
