Nothing like beating yourself in the head with a magic stone until you....diedRanger Headshot nerf was significant enough to make people stop playing Rangers. Mage BEAM nerf was done for similar reasons - but Mages were still a good class. I think even the Mages would say the beam mechanics were OP. But the poor Rangers get my vote.
The worst nerf ever was Manastone though. It was powerful..sure but was it over the top? I dont think so. I dunno how many times I Manastone'd myself to death. Why would you nerf that?
I am wondering if they will ever notice the ToL Druid AE spells don't have a target limit. It is amazing for farming or doing hunters. I was pulling Plane of Fire in 2 or 3 pulls and 1 cast takes out the entire swarm.I would say mage beam spell nerf broke it off in my ass... that spell was amazing for farming tradeskill stuff in older zones- pull half the zone one or two beams and fill your bags
Weird that nobody mentioned Necros.
Oh dude, I think I remember that!Not a nerf but I remember SOE losing tons of people to the Test wipe of 2001 (?). They messed up and regular mobs were dropping named loot so SolB, Permafrost, and Kedge were so full of people. When they caught wind of what happened, they brought test down and the next thing there was a message from McQuaid saying they were wiping the server. Fun times!
I remember saying once that EVERY patch had a necro nerf - every one. Then we had an emergency downtime - the update notes were 'Fixed a server crash bug.' and 'Nerfed effect necro pets gained from being handed weapons.' I got on just laughing at that one - 'Quick, the server's are crashing, fix it, ....wait.....do we have a necro nerf we can throw in too? The patch can wait if we don't.'Weird that nobody mentioned Necros.
Mod rods look just like Fighting Batons. If you ever played a monk you know that was a nice, early Kunark weapon. I have to admit I was given them and killed a few times by the rods......Oh and mod rods not being able to be used at level 1 anymore. Best part of being a mage was handing then out in Kelethin or Freeport to new players.
A lot more insane when they were able to pull a whole zone and use beam spells on more than 8 targets.Mage stay insane too.
The necro epic nerf looking back was a good move. I only mained a necro back in HoT, but even then it was lame having such a low stat item required in your main hand. With the stat bloat now it would be way more noticeable, also it didn't stop Necros from being top of parses.I'm surprised the mage mod rod nerf and the necro epic nerf didn't make the list.
