I, personally, think how they made moving in the last room in the Crypt of Valdoon quite ingenius, as well as the fire rooms. This is a wonderful example of how to make things challenging, and yet, there'd be no reason to nerf our AR ability.

Raif of Antonia Bayle,

70 Brigand, created November 9, 2004

Do not forget, not only was it nerfed for us, but given to several other classes in far superior versions. This is why I voted with my pocket book.

It is a cardinal law, do not take from players and then give back somewhat if they buy your new expansion. They never should have made this combat change in the manner they did. It was not what was promised (little tweak.. not full scale overhaul) and Prior to the LU/Release of EoF I was better than after. I can regain and in some cases exceed my previous power, but I MUST do the new content, but to be able to do the new content I am FORCED to group, or grind on stuff that is hardly worth it.

I am not at all pleased with the direction the devs took with this. I am singularly nonplussed as to why they made this change to brigands in the first place, but then have remained utterly uncommunicative with our community and, as already mentioned, provided our once reliable ability to us in a completely unreliable form, while giving our ability to other classes in a reliable form and sometimes superior to the form we had.

We've received no compensation for it, have seen our DPS diminish even further than they did on the whole.

We've seen (with every other class) our equipment become less useful overnight. Some of us who were stuck in the middle of certain quests are wondering if even doing the quest has any purpose now because the reward is crap now, etc.

The Devs really do deserve a finger in the eye for this ill-conceived set of changes.
