Nerf? Another nerf? what about the "golden-child" other classes?

[Solunacancuna]

<DIV>With all of this talk of yet ANOTHER nerf of us necros, it makes me shake my head in utter disbelief. Even without yet ANOTHER nerf, we are still unrealistically square at the bottom end of the power barrel. Did a necro run off with the head Devs mate right from the alter or steal the prize from his/her cereal box as a child? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I enjoy the game for a number of other reasons, but since I choose to romp in the world of the PVP Nagafen server, fighting and defending myself from attacks at every angle and time is a large part of the experience. For example, becoming a pin cushion to salivating Ranger arrows is not my idea of fair and balanced. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Honestly, boosting my resists to 7500+, pushing my mitigation to the 1000 mark, dropping the coin for a 48% mount, and equipping with master spells in key areas, I felt that I was doing my necro compatriots proud. But with all that being the case, when a Ranger (to use the example above) can lock me on track, swing around to my blind side with stealth to flank me, then one shot me for 3500+ damage and pounce on me quickly for another 1700+, well, all the upgrades in Norrath wouldn't aid me any more than if I was standing in a loin cloth at the top of TT spires shouting loudly "Fresh meat all... come and get it!" </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>All that being said, I feel with the overwhelming number of ranger Champions running around, and the whispers of more nerfing to the despised necro, can one stand up and say "Hey, we are treating these poor necro saps unfairly, and who the &%#$ made Rangers into gods?". Then and maybe then, our fun and enjoyment can justify our decision to dump ridiculous hours and 15 clams each month into the EQs Nagafen server.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hopefully through this serious/satire laden post, others can weigh in, and maybe, just maybe, word will make it to the dev gods, and justice will prevail! :smileywink:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks again</DIV> <DIV>Soluna</DIV> <DIV>70 "pin-cushioned" Necro</DIV> <DIV>Nagafen</DIV>

Cry me a river - no one is getting nerfed, they are readjusting the combat mechanics as a whole. And don't Totems of the Jaguar work on PvP?

Unfortunately alot of these changes that are coming are because they somehow care about the PvP community like they actually matter.The changes inc are going to be better as a whole in the long run again I say to anyone complaining we are going to get nerfed big time to try searching for all the necro threads about the past LU's and combat changes and read all the whining that ensued there only to be shut up when everyone realized OMG we're semi-godlike.  The spells on beta/test (whichever..idc) are being reverted to near their "live" counterpart, the pets are being readjusted back to normal + a bit more, and avoidance/ mitigation value is improving for all classes as a whole.  So if you did your gearing up correctly and not just wasted all your money and efforts on maxing out INT, but have upwards of 44%-50+% avoidance and 1.1k+ mitigation  you did a good thing and will see a much better improvement on the survivability of your character.And before you say I'm "full of it" about those inc improvements to spels and pets...try reading thru the other areas of the forums and older posts in the necro area like those who want to excel at the game/class do.<div></div>

<P>OK thx Rogboh...or what ever your name is... u watch to much Japanese animation cartoons apparently.... yeach!... cry me a river... hehe...nice line. I did not know elementary school was off today. Anyways, thx for the attempt at helping... er.. i think? </P> <P>And my stats in mitigation and avoidance are high like posted above. Does not seem to outweigh the situation from Rangers listed above. This is why I have started a ranger class for an alt.</P> <P>BTW.... are u on the Nagafen server, and if so, what is your name... would like to show how rangers have been made god-like in about a month or so :smileywink:</P> <P> </P> <P>Soluna</P> <P>btw, not crying, just stating observations.... check my other posts... no Kleenex issues in any of those :smileyhappy:</P>

I to play a Necro on Nagafen and know exacly what you mean. I have mage post in the PVP forum to hopefully help people to understand that Necros are not only the worse class in PVP.. .they are getting nerfed.. just like they nerfed necros pets damage on the PVP servers.. like Necros  were some form of PVP God to begin with.

<P>/sigh, been in the beta for a bit and I can promise you it is not a nerf, so you may see your damage on lifetap drops a hundred or so on the spell tooltip and your INT doesnt make as much of a difference as it did before, that in and of itself is not a nerf because it has happened to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING in the world of EQ2, this is not a nerf, i copied my main to the pvp and regular server and I can promise you they are not nerfed and if you consider it a nerf then feel bad for your fellow conjorurs and rangers, assasins, zerks, gaurdians, fury, wardens, defilers ,mystics even inquis, templar, monk, bruiser, SK, paladin heck even troubs and dirges, swashies, brigands, warlocks, wizards, coercers and illusionists got hit with hte very same nerf we did. as if that is not bad enough this nerf made it to Vyemm all the orcs of the commonlads, Tyranix and sad sad lizardmen everywhere.</P> <P>THIS IS GAMEBREAKING I QUIT!!</P> <P>oh sorry...got carried away there.</P>
