Combat Rebalancing still MIA

[Eepop]

<div></div>Well, its now been over 3 weeks since we got the "couple weeks" timeline on June 21st, and the patch going to test as of yesterday, while nice, had next to nothing dealing with the rebalancing.<hr>Couple weeks timeline fromhttp://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=pround&message.id=2828An update on our progress will be showing up on Test Server for public evaluation some time in the next couple weeks, and we'll be paying very close attention to the feedback of those who've played with it....____Scott HartsmanSenior Producer, EverQuest II<hr>It will be interesting to see what SOE's definition of a "couple" is...I had always thought it was 2...seems like they think its 4 or more.I guess we can hope for next week, unless couple means 5. <span>:smileysad:</span><div></div>

MG posted that it would be a "week or so later" on test after the LU#12 test drop.  So I would start hollering bloody murder in a week or so from now.

We have been hollering bloody murder since LU#6 . .  . .

Its been so long and since haze version 2 was introduced I leveled my Alt Conjuror to 50 while shelving the mystic. Since haze v.2 I havnt felt like wasting my time since fighting blue and green soloable mobs takes my mystic to 50% health and 50% power. I could stand it if that were the case after fighting a group of mobs or 3 or 4 solo mobs and having to wait for my power or health to come back up. After ever fight is down right insulting for us mystics when i think about how warlocks can take down heroic 2^^ mobs 3 level s higher than them while i wouldnt even think about taking on grey 2^^ heroic mobs 10 levels below me or closer on my mystic. Goes to show you what SoE thinks about mystics or there customers that play mystics.</DIV>

So don't think I don't know the plight of Mystics.  I still played my Mystic when everyone else said "Mystics SuX0rs!!1!one! Gimme back my Haze!!1!" When they said there would be a revamp back then around 6 I said it would most likely hit just before the expansion.  Which it seems to be on track for that. *Shrug*</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On top of that when I solo I am not at 50/50 health and power on a green solo.  But I am 46.  But I practically did solo my whole way from 39 to 42 in Feerott since well I couldn't get a group for the life of me.  I was able to take on light green heroics w/ average equipment at around 45 can do some hard green heroics but the effectiveness of that is really in question.  I have one legendary/fabled item my dolly.  So it is not due to items.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Trathe on <span class=date_text>07-15-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:26 AM</span>

actually I have been having alot on fun wand kiting mobs in the enchanted lands with a disease imbuded oak wand,  I can usually take a orange con mob down to 50% health, then finish him off with the usual mystic bag of tricks.  Not the best XP but, its more  fun than soloing green mobs all day . . .

I daresay none of these folks have done anything like this since the nerf of power regen. I know that I really felt that nerf.  I went from over 60 / tic in combat to about 25 / tick in combat. <div></div>
