EQOA Updates for April 15th

We made some updates today to the new Plague quests as well as to the associated ability rewards. EverQuest Online Adventures: Game Update for Thursday, April 15th Quest Abilities: Created new Animator ability Rune of the Stormlord for Animator's that have obtained the Stormlord's Touch ability and the associated Mastery. Created Slayer version of Hand of Bertoxxulous, Curse of Bertoxxulous, and the Mastery to obtain it for those Slayers that have received the Hand of Bertoxxulous ability. Increased Duration of Mithril Skin from 2 minutes to 5 minutes. Slightly increased base ac bonus of Immortal Skin, added agility modifier of 10%, and increased duration from 2 minutes to 5 minutes. Created new Defender mastery Immortal Guard for Defenders that have obtained the Immortal Skin ability from the Last House event quest. Increased damage of new druid damage shield ability Briarcoat and the associated mastery ability Protection of Karana. Created new Sensai mastery ability "Touch of Nife" associated with the new quest ability "Mending of Nife". Changed new Enchanter ability Stormlord's Touch, from pet only to targetable, removed the Int buff component, and added dex mod to damage. Created new Anarchic Reign mastery ability Stormlord's Rune and the associated Mastery. Changed new Necro Pet proc buff from a dot to a dd that does more damage than their current proc. Quests: Corrected an issue with the Level 55 and Level 57 Rathe Mountains quest where flagging to progress the quest might not correctly happen after a monster was slain. Corrected an issue with Plague Quests where Rodcet Nife could despawn before you had received your reward. If this happens, talk to Ammathor and respawn Rodcet again so you can complete the quest.

Haggan can i ask a favor?
you still have the "is PvP a good idea" vote option on, will you change it to "is Group vs Group a good idea"? i think if we continue protesting for things they will give them to us eventually lol. Just a thought

What I belive they did is that the slayer plague qst spell is a damage touch spell, so since slayers turn touches into life taps they made this new spell affected by that cm and becomes a tap.

soooo to get slayer, you have to do a plague qst? or you just get a spell thats a touch line?

SK get pain touches periodically the first one was from the 25 qst,and one of the slayer cms at 60 changes all of them to life taps instead of a mini HT. And no the plague qst just gives another spell it is not required to do.

Well thats neat, I wish they would correct the issue of ******** over wizards, like taking all their shielding moves in the beginning of the game, and the newly added pvp which cuts our real damage by half. Seriously, its ridiculus.
It would still be fair if we hit normal dmg because the extreme lack of ac/agi on all wizards. PLUS they dont even let our pet buff us or heal us in battle.....wtf.

As far as wizzy nukes being halfed in PvP it is fair, every class has its attacks halfed. As far as not having enough agi/ac/hp what every customize your armor to fix the flaws for pvp. Just because one type of equipment is good for grinding doesnt make it good for PvP, in a grind you dont get hit. Now it would be nice if they fixed the pet buff glitch, and added OF modifier to all caster spells to increase their effectiveness like they do for melee fighting. As far as the loss of shielding spells I never heard wizzy complain much about it so it isnt a important point, if it was not important enough to fight for before PvP it is not important enough to want now.

Actually its not fair at all, wizards are the most offencive/destructive casters in the game, casting is what we do. Don't get me wrong PvP rocks, its just ridiculus that you cant cast, with your dexterity fully maxed out and not scratch an opponent (Tank, Meelee) And its not cause of resistances either...plus..i dont understand something in PvP..AC and AGI are defence against physical attacks..even with good AC and AGI i should be able to fry a tank in a few hits, just as he can chop me up in a few hits.
My chain cast in normal grinding is (Annhilate-1575, Lightning Blast-989, Inceneration-1075, cutting fury-785...now thats approx. 4424 dmg... For PvP that is 2212, how much hp do normal lvl 39-40 tanks have? I myself have 1545 hp as a 40 wiz, so i do get my full combo out and while kiting, possibly an extra 2849 dmg (which in PvP is 1425 dmg) so total avrage of dmg is approx. 3637 dmg...i should be quite formidable, but like i said..Wizards do get screwed...

So let me get this right you want SK to be able to hit you for over 6000 damage, for rogues to pull off backstabs doing over 1000 damage along with Quads doing about 2000 damage since you have low agi and ac. I say this since they either cut everyones damage down or no ones, no exceptions.

Have you gotten high agi/hp/ac gear and sacrificed some int/dex or are all you using is the gear to max damage. Cause if all you try to do is damage you are gonna be toast that is why hlrs are so good a PvP, their damage sux compared to other classes but they can recover from hits. And I know good wizzy's dont get screwed in PvP, I have seen many come out victorious, since they go in prepared and pick their fights.

My point is this Synestra, I have to change out my Dex for ac, yet i still get quite a hurtin
btw my PvP gear consists of:

All Spectral Armor and Robe of eyes: all Agi only
all jewlry is Platinum Pyrite: all ac only

It is only fair that these other classes wear proper resistances for our Magical attacks as we have to for they're physical. It is not fair that they don't, yet they take hits like its no problem, Thus the real argument presents itself.
