Forum fun and a question

[menelaus109]

Can anyone guess when the last time a Dev responded to an issue on the Inq boards?A small prize for the closest guess <font size="1">(Winning guess will need to transfer to RE or Splitpaw to claim prize, use of search function will result in disqualification, its just a bit of fun, dont take it too seriously)<font size="3">I know the reason that Devs dont respond to issues on class boards is because of the "class reps" who have access to a different forum and inform the devs of any issues that arise, im curious if we actually have a "class rep" (or if we share one with Temps) and if any issues are raised on behalf of Inqs </font></font><div></div>

I think we got a response when the botched up Reactive heals and they were only doing like 20% of their normal value.  I think that was at the beginning of KOS. <div></div>

This is kinda funny.  I 2 box, melee account is a 70/50 monk, and the healer account is me, 69/22 inq and a 70/41 warden.  The inq betrayed as a wood elf templar because the guild needed an inq and had more than enough temps.   I had not played the temp for months, sat at 55.  When I betrayed I went from 55 to 69 in about 2 months.   The inq, and my other two chars are the most non-broke and fun to play of any I have tried.  The monk/warden duo can do anything a full group does, such as clear nest/den/ and with a couple scout friends, HoF.  The monk/templar was almost useless because the monk had to both dps and tank, so things took forever.  With the inq as a partner, his debuffs/procs/dps is almost as good as a warden duo, just the whole reactive/avoidance class thing making it non-ideal.  The biggest problems the monk and warden classes have are a few whiners on each of their class boards that would not be happy if Penelope Cruz moved in with them.We don't even have that problem...<div></div>

Well, the invocation line used to be a divine dd+medium-long duration stifle.  Effectively made inquises [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] vs names/single targets.  That got nerfed to being a DoT with a stifle applied at the end of the dot.  Still, very nice ~9 sec stifle.  Shortly before DoF, I quit.  Came back after KoS to find that the spell had become a DD (again) with a 3 second stifle component that broke upong receiving any damage... okay.... Recently the line got changed AGAIN to be a DD with a 50% chance of an interrupt... Ooooookayyyyy.... Talk about a complete sea-change.  Also, under the old training system, there was an ability called Shizara's Benediction that was essentially the original version of the invocation line (DD+stifle for 24 seconds).  I guess that got the nerf stick when they changed the training system.  I don't think any other class can boast an ability that has been nerfed, buffed, and nerfed again as the Invocation line that inquises receive. Correct me if i'm wrong <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[Torbas]

Cleaning, eh? Are you a dev?!<div></div>

[pootski]

I take back my last sentence.<div></div>

as far as i know invocation is an interupt   not a 50% chance to interupt

[jago quicksilver]

i also think that the last time it was posted was when reactives were screwed up. (no matter what level they were scribed, they healed like an app2)
