Do you think we will really get dps upgrade ?

"Someone" posted that they are working on combat/spell system revamping and said chanter should do less then other mage class but better then some scout class. Do you think this "bs" can become true as he keeps to say something haven't become true yet.

what has been said is that our "relative damage compared to fighter" will increase.

this can be achieved in 2 ways, either by increase enchanter damage or be decrease fighter damage.

as i cannot find anything that would say our damage will also increase compared to sorcerer (so that the gap between the 2 classes would become smaller) i suppose that means our personal dps wont actually increase much, if at all. Just fighter will do less in the end, so that compared to them we will do more than we do atm compared to them.

i could be wrong though and i honestly hope i am.

I've stated before that enchanters will be rising in relative power compared to some classes, especially fighters. This remains part of the spell/art rebalancing that is currently underway. That said, enchanters will have less raw DPS than the other types of mages, and they will also fall below some of the scouts.

I think they will bump us up. My concern is they will also bump up Mob HP at the same time, which is their MO. They also eluded they were going to make it easier to hit us, removal of Parry I think it was. So I am not convinced we will be a whole lot better off.

If they fix/improve the Stuns/roots and utility at the same time so we can Root rot rather than drain and tank, we should be ok.

I am hoping for a nice DPS bump, but am more interested in how they rework us as a package. DPS is a small thing if we can actually do the rest of our job exceptionally well. I can honestly say I never once looked at a parse log as an EQ1 Chanter to check my DPS. It did not matter...well unless I wanted to brag about Pookie.

Whatever they plan to do, I wish they would hurry up.

In short-

Yep, I really do think we'll see a DPS increase. It fits what has eben stated about out Archetype, and overall the dev teams does seem to be sticking to the Archetype roles pretty well, and reinforcing them as they go. Some things just take time, and personall I don't care how long it takes, since I don't doubt they have their priorities for varying departments. SMILEY
