Am I missing something? <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<P>I vaguely recall Moorgard stating that the damage revamp for summoners, priests and enchanters was being held back until after the combat changes on test were complete and pushed live, since otherwise once the new system was in it would require further rebalancing.</P> <P>It's going to be a little while longer it seems im afraid.....</P>

I think he ment LU#18 :smileyindifferent:

[Xalmat]

/sigh, How many times must we go thru this? Summoners are NOT going to receive balance changes until the combat changes are tweaked right. It makes no sense to give up sweeping changes, only to have to reverse them a patch later if something else changes.

We've now been assured we were going to be fixed in update #6, update#7, update#8 and NOTHING.  I rarely play now anyway.  after the heritages, many epic raids etc.  maybe I should just suspend my account and check back in July.  This has gone past frustrating.  They keep stalling, we keep paying the monthly bill.  Can't really say they are stupid heheh

I've heard all this [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot]'e before from SOE in SWG. Cancelled my account yesterday.

I'm getting impatient...c'mon guys... <div></div>

I deceided to stop waiting and just spent the last few days soloing ^^yellow tundra terrors and frozen tempests all the way from 48.5 to 49.

Yes, if you're going to give us our changes, do it when you say you're going to. Strange how most of the 50 necros posting claim we have the best, or close to the best DPS, yet every other necro not at 50 claims we need upgraded (and well look! Sony agrees with us). Maybe it's a problem at pre 50. Because at 46 I sure as hell am no top DPS with all adept 3's up to 39, and adept 1 beyond that. I live by the parser. <div></div>

Guild Wars is fun. Necros suck [Removed for Content] there also, but being a tank is a nice change.

<DIV>Guild Wars is fun.  And it is a perfect example of what SOE is doing wrong.  There are no more, if not fewer, problems with Guild Wars (At Launch) than in EQ2 all these months into it.  It really makes me wonder what my monthly fee is getting me.  Surely if Free to play games are "Pretty Good" you would think that forking over neverending amounts of money would be greeted with an improved experience.   Corporate Welfare is a Mutha, and I wish it would keep it's head out of the Gaming Industry</DIV>
