We need a hand

[Edavi]

<p>Okay, I am having a really hard time playing my Illy right now, I am only sticking it through because my raid THINKS that they need an illy.  There is a laundry list of issues with the class, but here are my highlights that I pray to god get fixed so I can enjoy myself <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>1. Damage- So, we were nerfed to all hell, blown out of the water in my opinion, and it is to make us into a support class rather than a support/dps.. which.. sigh, okay if you HAVE to... But, I look at my bruiser, My illy's HIGHEST nuke does about as much damage as my bruiser's LOWEST ca... and the bruiser also has the luxury of auto attacks and tons of other CAs that do much more damage than my [Removed for Content] spells.  It hurts</p><p>2. We have no identity... We are a support class? Okay, but then you nerfed our power regen, the only thing we could be great at got hammered.  Sorcs are DPS, and they have all sorts of things to enhance their DPS, for example, Int, Procs, Potency, Crit Bonus.  Summoners are DPS, through their pets, Summoners have TONS of gear with Pet buffs, giving their pet, procs, potency, int, crit bonus, as well as stuff increasing theri own DPS, which is great, as they are a DPS class.</p><p>Now us lowly illys.. we are not a DPS class, but the only things available to us are out there to increase our DPS, NOT our support.  I have TC and I have TW... What am I suposed to do now? Try Try Try to get my DPS from 20k to 21k? (Im rounding way up, im not that amazing but I know many illys are)  They want us to be support, but Give us no enhancement to our support capabilities save maybe 1 or 2 red adorns.  I feel dead in the water, I feel useless.  Illy Arm is almost always on a healer, since everyone else has maxed DA, and that healer is usually outparsing me.  The most fun ill have is when i convince them to let me play another class <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>We need help, or theres guna be one less illy around... again</p>

+1 I agree with everything you said. IMO there's not even any real reason to bring illies anymore, Troubs can do more dps and have an equivelent to TC, there are item procs that can regen more mana than an illy. Coercers do more DPS and better power regen so they could effectively replace illies aswell. TBH the only reason I still play an Illy is because I dont have the option to switch to anything else. I just hope they manage to either fix us, or ruin us so bad we wont be wanted anymore so that we can play something fun. Also, I still think it's stupid that Bards can cast UT/BC on themselves but we cant TC ourselves. stupidest change ever, and the "they needed the dps boost for soloing" reason was and is a lie.
