I've now had a chance to raid with it and I can tell you we do not gain anywhere near the raid dps as other classes and our epic effects are not noticable.

1. 30% DPS Improvement on 4 of 20 CA's. Less than a few % on the zonewide.
2. +40 haste, -20 haste on mob. Does nothing, tonight i was sitting at 408 haste in raid, haste is without question the easiest thing to buff in a raid setting. And -haste is perhaps the only thing easier. 1 Brig skill and a poison proc caps out -haste, and like 6 other classes get -haste debuffs.
3. Improves profession debuffs by 10%. This effectively does nothing that I can see. I checked the parse, and no one is hitting noticably harder than they did last week (granted I do have master1 dispatched). My feeling is mit debuffs curve and therefore this does almost nothing. The only good thing about this that wasn't immediately apparent to me is it also effects stuff like -defense.

I am actually really happy with the spread and stats, SOE totally got this right, but the effects are horrible. My suggestions are as follows:

Remove the 3 above effects.

1. Give us a modifier to dispatch that does 1 or more of the following (instead of the +10% to profession)
1: +100% spell/melle/ranged hitrate while dispatched is on
2: 100% of spells/melee/ranged crits while dispatched is on
3: 100% of all items/abillities proc while dispatched is in
This is the type of stuff brigs would drool over and would be totally in line with our class function (raid dps buffers) and the other mythical effects people are getting.

2. Give us some sort of Autoattack modifier(instead of the +30% to 4 cas), the effect on the assassin weapon is straight off of a PM i sent in when I was asked for feedback on the brigand item, I can't even begin to tell you all how frustrated I am that my idea ended up on the assassin weapon. I personally think they should remove the autoattack buff from the assassin weapon and put it on both rogue weapons, rogues have always been the king of scout autoattack dps. Assassins have always derived their dps from CA's, to replace the autoattack effect, the assassin item should get 12% chance to "double up" a stealthed CA. This would make everyone happy.

3. If the +40 haste -20haste went over and above the caps, it would be godly and a good effect. If thats not possible, evern +40dps -20dps would be marginally better for most people. +40dps -20dps over and above the caps would be truely awesome and excite every single brig game wide. I'd also be interested in some sort of effect that would actually lower raid mob dmg output similar to the swash tswipe modifer. Perhaps we can get some sort of debuff that makes the tank more difficult to hit? Something that *actually* effectively lowers raid mob dps output.

With regards to the question about how the 30% mechanic currently works I don't understand the question if someone wants to send me a tell in game i'd be happy to test whatever it is you want Najena.Yobor.

I think he was talking about Yobors information given highlighted above.

The community relations complaint department is run by Grimwell... So expect that when hell freezes over ;p

Asslik is not real people, you fanboi fucking waste of oxygen piece of shit.

OP is about as cool and heroic as the weenie who twisted off the wax Hitler's head. Your adventures on the official forums hold no weight.

You sir, are a liar. One needs only look at what you've done with the assassin class, the mythical (which you ripped the idea right from the brigands), and I could even go so far as to look at the race you play and the racial traits you made available to them.

2 years ago it was Moorguard and the bruisers who enjoyed the spotlight. Now we've got yet another corrupt developer.. umm.. over compensating for something.


I'm reminded when the troubs where all in arms and trying to figure out cool things to do to the class. One of the ideas posted by a player that I thought was way too farfetched and would never be possible was to allow Troubs to create portals to bars or inns. Lo and behold the stupid card game gave that ability...

[Skylher]

instead of using the "compensating for something" you should have went factual like grimwell wanted,, and asked how many assassins gave aerilik sexual favors for their class improvements.

and it never fails here or on the official forums, spyderbite is always there to put in his two cents of fanboi-ism on any negative thread for eq2. starting to think the guy is vying for a job with SOE.

I'm all for drunken posting.. but, even I could have re-worded your reply better. This Beavis and Butthead approach never works, yet everyone seems to complain when it doesn't.

Allow me to repost the golden rules for you to look over...

You Might Be A Board Whore

- If you believe that LOLZ or STFU should conclude any argument.
- You debate vehemently in favor or againt nerfing a class/profession you've never even played before.
- You wake up after a night of trolling the forums and find several angry ICQ messages on your screen from people you don't recognize.
- When you have nothing constructive to add to a conversation, you RTLFC and call them a noob.
- You're responsible for more locked threads than the spammers selling penis enlargement solutions.
- You begin every topic with "Back when I was in the beta.."
- You believe that every ban and warning you received was unwarranted.
- Most of your PMs are from Moderators or Administrators.
- You skip your lunch break at work to contribute to the latest drama on the forums.
- In the past month, at least 5 people have asked you, "Can I have your stuff?"
- At some point in your postinig career, you've claimed that a Developer was your best friend or uncle.
- When you arrive at a Meet Up or Town Hall, half the room mutters "Oh shit".
- You feel you know the game mechanics better than the Developers and Producers.
- You've applied for every position on the game company's website.
- It upsets you that they still haven't hired you. Even with your 5 years work experience at Piggly Wiggly.
- You have threatened to quit the game and take all 500 of your guildmates with you. You post again the next day.. "I'm serious!" to prevent the thread from getting buried on the second page.
- Everyone knows who you are. Nobody has actually seen you in game though.
- You have tried unsuccessfully to add a Moderator to your Ignore List.
- Anybody that disagrees with you is Gay, Unemployed or lives in a Trailer Park.
- Obscene photos and stick men drawn in MS Paint are constructive contributions to any topic.
- You've started a thread at 1am titled "I'm really durnk".
- The F5 button on your keyboard is worn out.

I think your a board whore tbh. Just saying!

Spyderbite is a cock sucking douchebag. I won't fill a bit of pity if he was turned into chowder, or put the bottom of the lake as a boat anchor.

Good point I wonder how many times he has to blow Asslick to get a job with them?

[Diknak]

You guys have to remember, these guys are at work; the mods have the right to moderate you for abusing them. I wouldn't tolerate any customer talking to any of my call center agents like that and I would instruct them to hang up on them immediately. The devs walk on eggshells when venturing to the forums because anything they say WILL be taken out of context and twisted. I'm not saying that they don't make mistakes or anything, but you can't treat people like that and expect for them to tolerate it.
