It was difficult to figure out what he was angry at me for exactly. He wouldn't tell me who he was, so I wasn't sure if it was a guildee of someone who I had killed with my pet, or if it was just a concerned coercer. Either way he was insulting me for using m1 beguile on a corpse candle, which he called an exploit.Do you think coercers should be able to charm higher level mobs with a lower level charm such as beguile, and do you think corpse candles and corpse flames in bonemire should do the damage that they do?

What an idiot, he complains that he doesnt want something nerfed and has a go at you for charming the candles...if he is taking his own advice and not charming them then why is he worried about them being nerfed as it wont affect him in any way.<div></div>

Well, the charm spells are supposed to have a level limit.  Level 24 for the 2nd one if I remember right (I had a coercer for a while and switched to Illusionist).  Funny that Sony has not fixed that.  No other class (that I know of) has a spell./Art that is a "main" ability that is useful as a master 1 at 5-6 tiers above when you get it.Illusionists pets are level lock it seems. My "teenage" pet spell can only summon a pet of 19th level max even though I am 23rd and the spell is supposed to be useful til level 24.  So it would seem fair that Coercers would have the same restrictions.<div></div>

The level limits were put on charm spells way back in the day back when there were "Enchanters" and not just "Coercers and Illusionists".Illusionists were running around charming things with their level 12 charm, and it wasn't appropriate that they got a class defining spell like that.. there was no personae for Coercers to play with.Slap a level limit on and bam, no more illusionists using charm beyond the teens. This is back when they were about to improve charm.. so they were making sure illusionists didn't get the best of both worlds. Even back then, the charms after level 20 had no level limit because they didn't need to at that point... their purpose was to restrict the shared class spells... and 20+ wasn't shared.This tool is basically "thinking" too hard and getting himself all worked up over the situation without putting any thought into it.Stop using it, or it will get nerfed? So either don't use it.. or it will get nerfed and you can't use it? How is either final outcome supposed to be at all different? In fact, it's about the same.. so if he's so against one (the nerfage) he should be against the other as well (the not using it).He also tip toed around any direct answer... he goes off about how the candles will be nerfed because you they are too good, so stop using it. But then says the coercer spells will get nerfed because of the same thing? Why? Won't they just nerf the candles? What does Beguile Master 1 have to do with candle's strength? And adept 3 domination still does a TON of damage from that candle.. that'd be a crappy fix for the situation if they did it.We already get nasty breaks, and far shorter durations from the lower level spells... it doesn't need more nerfage than that to make upgrades worthwhile.I mean.. whoever has a Coerce Master 1 would still JUMP at the chance to get a Domination Master 1 if it ever dropped. 30 minutes vs 10 minutes? At 10 minutes, things "breaking early" is like at the 3 minutes mark... barely a fight or two. With 30 minutes, a similar comparison is 10 minutes... and it's more reliable.As for the one-shotting... I've NEVER been able to one-shot someone with the candle. In fact, most of the time it ends up nuking for something like 500-1000 at best.And it IS a warlock. The guy forgets that CREATURES get CREATURE specific spells. The major spell it casts is <b>soul flay</b> and I recognize that specifically as a warlock spell. The lifetap could easily be a creature specific spell tacked onto it's warlock class.<div></div>

<P>There is a downside of course to using the lower level charm on higher level mobs.</P> <P>1. The time limit.  Like the above poster stated with a 10 min charm I get charm breaks at the 2-3 min mark.  Very rare for it to go the full duration unless the pet is 2-3 levels below me.</P> <P>2. The stun is no longer effective when the charm break. Thus you now have a very [Removed for Content] mob beating the hell out of you the MOMENT charm breaks.  Makes for a lot of fun.</P> <P> </P> <P>Coercer has a lot of benefits with charm and Master charm and at times I think we are to good, but then I see a Necro of the same level killing 3 or 4 of the same level mobs I am at the same time and my god complex snaps back to reality.</P> <P>Aside from that no class dies as much as a Coercer. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P><SPAN class=time_text></SPAN> </P><p>Message Edited by Venzule on <span class=date_text>09-18-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:17 AM</span>

Don't fight coercers in Bonemire if you don't like it. Don't come here trying to get the class or pets nerfed.Charming corpse candles is not a game abuse, whether it be by a 5 minute duration charm spell or by a 30 minute duration charm spell. You only think it is because you got wtfpwned by one. <div></div>

<div></div><div></div><div></div>You want to know more pets that do potential "one shot" nukes? Try the Gustbreaker breezebenders, they nuke 4.5k then 1.5k in succession and heal themselves for 750 per tick. Try those paladin mobs on the Isle of Awakening, I have had 9k from one of those. Those trees in Bonemire are also powerful and heal themselves. The squallburst drakes in Breeding Grounds apply a nasty DoT that ticks for 500 or so. Coercer pets are glass cannons though. As a brigand all you need is 3.5k mental resist, then stun-lock the corpse candle and kill it and the coercer is all yours.I have duelled a few people with corpse candles. You know what they do? They put on their resist gear! With capped poison resist, the corpse candle nukes around 1000 with Master 1 Domination. So theres's one solution. If you don't like being one shotted in Bonemire, buy yourself some resist gear. Like they say on the WoW forums so often: learn to play. If I played PvP on my assassin, I would carry with me the boxes of resist gear that I do now, and equip it when fighting certain damage types to max my resists. You can tell by all the complaining on the boards what a difference resist gear makes when fighting a mage and having tried it I know that even 3.5k to 4k it's often frustrating to try and land anything unless you have a suite of master spells (which I am lucky enough to have now).I have to laugh that you seriously think coming in here and complaining about it somehow coercers will think "oh my god, maybe he's right", stop using the good pets and start using crap ones that don't do any damage.Coercer DPS is determined by their pet. It's the class defining ability. If scouts come in here and start whingeing that all the pets that can one shot them should be nerfed then all I would say is maybe you should try another game that was designed with PvP in mind instead of one that wasn't.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Outerspace on <span class=date_text>09-19-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:01 AM</span>

To many scout class's in PVP. thats the only thing that puts me off playing on the PVP servers.. if you do get a hand up on them they just escape...  and get your self good resists gear.. that may be the problem..lol to use to going up against Scouts instead of casters. also i would imagine its hard life as a coerser in the erly life on a PVP server. so any one thats put the work in to get 70 in my book needs a little treat.. not like he can go to other zones with it!  or even better let them be able to charm players... i remember my erly days playing EQ1, we used to have a guild PvP event. was sooo funny watching our bard charm one of our monks and getting him to Sit...backing off braeking charm Dot him reCharm him sitting him down.  hehehe Great days.

Like I said before, there are several things you can do to limit the impact of the charmed corpse candle to your PvP experience.You choose not to do them and come here demanding nerfs instead.Do you also post on the wizard forums because they can one shot people too? Or assassin forums? Or ranger forums? Coercers have very very limited DPS of their own and rely on their pet, so having a pet that instakills newbies that have no resists is only like being a wizard insta killing newbies that have no resists, the difference being most people have more heat and cold resist than they do poison resist making corpse candles more effective.My reply to the original poster is yes I have no problem with people using the tools they have available to charm the best pets available.Lastly, whether it's a level 30, 5 minutes charm spell or a level 61, 30 minutes charm spell it can be used to pump out whatever DPS the pets in the area can do. The upgrade through the level range is the length of the charm, not the quality of the charm.<div></div>

You don't like getting beat up by a charmed corpse candle. Fine, I understand. It's one of the few mobs a coercer can charm that is actually really nasty. Valid point.But it seems you're in a huff because he's using a 33 charm to do it. So what? He's not level 30, so why does it matter? It's not his only option, in fact it's actually a weaker option that two others. It's like getting mad because the guy who killed you was in a red robe instead of a blue one. If you capped his lvl33 charm, what changes? He just uses a higher level version instead. What did that change? Nothing. The corpse candle will still wreck you.You're flouting him using a lower level spell like it matters. Well, as most people are aware, it really doesn't. Beguile, Dominate, and Domination all have the exact same effect - they charm a mob. The only changes in the line are duration and resistablity. Most classes have spell lines that mirror this effect. The only reason the coercer used the lvl33 version is because the lvl47 and lvl61 versions are harder to get.So really, you're complaining that the 47 and 61 charms are too rare, and I'm sure everyone on here will agree with that.

<DIV>So I didn't read the whole thread but if this guy is a coercer than it's Compulsion from The Kelley Gang.  He's exile... why does he care?</DIV>

<DIV>LastBoy,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ok, first of all. The minute you start complaining about another class being overpowered / having an overpowered ability in pvp as a brigand you just lost all meaning to your argument.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Second. The reason you are upset is because Pumpkin owned your face so hard, and you kept spawnrushing, and he killed you 10+ times before you stopped.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Third. Get resists. Its not that hard, even for a scout.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Forth. You say its exploiting to use a lower tier charm for T7 mobs. SoE already took this into consideration. Its shorter duration, hence break more often and it hardly stuns the mob when it breaks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Fifth. Don't call Pumpkin an idiot when you obviously have no clue and only look through the narrow minded glasses of a brigand.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Sorry but I do. Why shouldnt the coercers be capable of 1 or 2 shotting people in one single zone, whereas the predators can do it in every zone? Yeah, it isnt a lvl 30 spell, but hey, I could oneshot people on my sassin with a lvl 24 CA at that level. And the level of the charm isnt really the topic, since its vastly different from every other spell in the game. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> And you already got a few explanations as to how its different.<p>Message Edited by roxer2b on <span class=date_text>09-25-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:34 AM</span>
