<DIV>Ok first off our class ROCKS...and it is by far one of the best solo'ers in the game BYFAR.  The problem lies in balancing our class so we are not OVERPOWERED......not underpowered.   What you all don't get is how much a difference app-adept-master spells can make for you class.  I am a 31 conjuror on Unrest and I can tell you most people feel I am a bit overpowered.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>PET  : I have adept 3 soldier pet ( get it now...hits for 50-60 and does knockdown for 70+) and I also....here is the key have MASTER provacation (pet buff).  My pet is so **mods 4 teh win!!1!** uber you wouldn't believe it.   The tank can hold aggro on a ^^ 28 named mob and my wizard pal (2<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> can fully nuke as much as he wants, pet still holds aggro.  We kill names with 2 of us.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Spells:  Yes are nuke blows adept 3 dust blast does 110 pts of damage MAYBE.   But boy can we stack the dots.  This helps in that we can pile on the spells and not worry about ever gettting aggro...and causing some good damage while our pet pummels the monster.  We also have 2 great stuns so far...I am 31.   There however seems to be a few bugs and a few weak spells thrown in the mix.  Flaming agony level 31 spell....no clue what it does, it dots 1 time for 35 damage..THATS IT...I think that spell is broken.  Fire seed seems to suck like most people have mentioned.   Tremor are 30 spell at first glance seems to suck, but after testing it some it's a great great magic resist debuff, my dust blast goes from 60-80 to 90-110 when I get off tremor.  We are a pet and dot class plain and simple.  If you don't like that you probably should start a new class.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bugs:  Yes the pet bug when he goes flying all over the map sucks, but what I do is I just lead off with a stun after sending in pet and it cures this problem.  Essence shift bug....kinda annoying but it will be fixed.  Various other spell problems icons, etc is very annoying but does not destroy are class.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So in closing don't **mods 4 teh win!!1!** about the class until you have the full power of the class.  In my opninion if they tweaked us very much besides bug fixing...we would be a bit overpowered.  I personally can't wait until I get a master pet.  It is gonna be just plain insane what conjurors will be able to do.  So from a fellow conjuror don't hesitate to buy up those good spells for higher prices you won't be disappointed!!!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I would have to agree with some of what you said, and dissagree with the rest.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am 28 Conjuror on Guk server. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With the proper spells, yes our class rocks, and yes we can solo where others cant. The problem is getting the right spells to the proper level. It is fine and well to tell people to get all their spells to adept 3 but that is just not practical. I will say that a adept tellurian soldier is a must, but that is just because the adept 1 i so rare and hard to find. out of all the conjurors on my server I would have to say that 90 % of them bought the adept 3 in frustration of not being able to find the adept.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now have you ever tried to find the Shattered ground adept? I have tried and all I ever find is shattered earth. What about fonding spiked rain? Nope been looking for 10 days for that spell.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It seems to me that spells up to level 25 were not that hard to find the adept 1 for. but from levels 25-30 they are darn near impossible. Yes I am aware that there may be some exceptions and there is going to be someone who got the spell with little or no effort, but for the majority that just isnt true.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Telling people to shell out 12 gold per palladium or jasper (lowest going rate on my server, sometimes up to 20g) to get their class to a acceptable performing level just isnt right.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ill just use a senerio that I saw yesterday......Me level 27 conjuror with app 3 tellurian soldier and adept 1 provocation, was trying to finish out level 27 soloing outside of varsoon. Now I was taking down the mobs pretty easily as most conned white to yellow. had to rest after every 3 fights or so. when a Level 25 Guardian came by and was soloing the SAME mobs I was. He was killing White and yellow mobs to me like nothing. It took him probibly 10 seconds per fight and he was just mowing through them. Now is it right that a toon 2 levels below me should fight the same stuff as I was, more efficiently then i was? make up you own mind on that one.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now I dont know about you but money isnt exactly easy to come by. I know the money starts flowing once you get into your 30's but that leaves 25-30 as hell levels. Sure you can take up mining in hopes that you can get the required materials for your spells but that is also not exactly the easiest thing to do. I have mining up to 140 and still have yet to find a rare component. Just my bad luck. I will say that you can make some decent money off of selling the commons to crafters, it will take you a long time to save enough to buy a rare component but it will get oyu on your way.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I personnaly would like to see them increase the amount of damage dome by our dots, increase the duration of the Dots, or reduce the power cost and recast time of them. This alone I think would make an improvement.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My only right out complaint about our class is that we have nothing, other than our pet, that distinguish us from other classes. Before you say i am wrong take this example. a Paladin has a nuke that hits for 120 damage. Now why would a tank have a nuke that hits harder than a mage? We have out DoT's but so do chanters, fury's, and a whole slew of other classes. Well you say we are the king of DoT's. My friend is playing a fury. his nuke hits for 300 damage, and he has 2 stackable DoT's, well at level 28 I have 4 stackable DoT's (static pulse, seism, bludgening earth, and, shattered ground.) Static pulse is pretty much useless to use as it only gives about 15 damage a tick, that leaves us with 3 DoT's. Those DoT's do good damage but so do the fury's DoT's. They have a better DD spell and they also Heal. Only our pet sets us appart from them. Now I ask again, Should a Priest have a better DD spell then a mage? Or DoT's that are as good as ours?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I Love being a Conjuror, I only wish it didnt cost so much money to get them to a satisfactory level of performance and I wish we had a little more individualism. </DIV>

<P>If you'd like to see the pet, check out my profile on eq2players.com (Saggis) - screenshots - last 2 pictures. <P>I just got him also (15 gold!  Whadda deal!), and he's extremely cool!</P><p>Message Edited by Sagus on <span class=date_text>12-12-2004</span> <span class=time_text>09:48 PM</span>

Eynki I can feel your pain. Seeing other tanker and priest classes have better DDs than our classes, and they have DoTs too. Outdamaged by Wizards and Scout Classes is accepted, but why should we be outdamaged by Tankers and Priests?
