May I protest against the protests? :smileywink:
I'd just like to say that will all games, and especially this type, there will always be some group of people claiming "nerf" while the others claim "thank god for that nerf".
It's all a FOTM factor anyway.
I remember over a year ago when I first created my necro, there wasn't hardly any other necros around. I was soloing like crazy up to lvl 25, then I took a year off from the game. I came back, and the entire server was flooded with necros.
While I'm glad to see so many people playing the necro class, It's also a testament to how the devs will always change everything on every class line to ensure it is either A) Fair to other classes, or B) Actually being used by the people.
You cannot deny the amount of certain classes that flood all the servers. I personally find it very difficult to find a coercer. I have found more master spells for the coercer class, but can never sell them because none are ever around. I have actually only ever met about 5 or 6 on the MM server. It is such a rare class, yet a nice class to have in a group. However it seems that everyone else wants to be like everyone else and be able to be uber with their scout, or tank, or healer, or necro.
I just think that it should be looked at with a more open-minded outlook. It's more of a challenge this way. I personally will always play my necro, and never really care about the "nerfs" or "beefs" that are put forth. If you persist on focusing on 1 little aspect of a change, you will force yourself to nolonger see the positive aspects of the class.
And besides, it's just a game. And like I said, ALL classes have or WILL have been "nerfed" at some point. I'm sure the devs know what they are doing, and if they do make an honest mistake, they will correct it as they have with a few of the ones in the past.
Just my humble input.
