Developer apathy

I always went with the feeling that the developers in eq were simply massively overworked. It seems they arent massively overworked, merely apathetic. http://www.eqclerics.org/forums/showthread.php?t=21994 Or at least I dont see any other way to account for that. Sad

Shoulda seen the shields that dropped tonight in tier 3 SoF. Nameds hit for about 6K (and crazy fast) and dropped a 70ac and a 80 AC (tank only) shield. Granted they each had about 410 Hps, but holy hell is that retarded...you can get one equal to that from a G'damn monster mission!

This has been a long standing issue and one that has frustrated the cleric community for a LONG time. Perhaps more frustrating for those of us that remember the "good ole days"

A cleric was a very powerful...albeit very BORING...class in a group. Over the years Shamans and Druids have been brought up in power close to what a cleric is. The long and short of what clerics are saying is fine.. you want them to heal almost as good as us? Let us DPS/Slow/snare/invis almost as good as them? Seems only fair.. right? Not in the great issue that is "balance"

So clerics had one last thing that noone else did. a proc that proced so much its almost sick....This BARELY gave us enough DPS to get by. Now, in Merlocs infinate wisdom he has given this one last thing that is clerics to shamans and druids.

And before anyone spouts off the whole "you can buff really good and res" argument. Please remember... buff and res whores abound. And its not usually hard to find a resser in a zone you are hunting.

Ask yourself this. How often you have 2 clerics in a group? Im guessing not often cause its awfully redundant.

And BTW.. Thanks for bringing up this old sore spot ya bastage Mad

I actually didnt care one whit about it being a cleric issue or whatever. What bothered me is he admitted armor is done off tables, so take zone x and its armor gets y stats and z effects. It is severely dissapointing to me, although not really surprising just how little thought goes into gear. I had wondered since the cookie cutter armor that was tss and tbs, tis just further proof they dont give a damn anymore, if they ever did.

Dont think they ever did. Just keep people happy enough to keep the accounts as long as we can.

Well since they arent backed into the whole 2 expansion a month thing they may have more time to fix stuff.
