Fan Faire: EQII Mechanically Speaking Panel :: ZAM News

FIGHTERS:

• Balancing will come to focus more on hate gain and defense. Improvements are to be made to taunts and defensive stances. The focus is on tanking instead of DPS.
• Block and deflection will be consolidated.
• Brawlers will receive an advantage to avoidance buffs.

So, why didn't someone who went to FanFuck tell us about this before now?

I've seen it several times albeit not like that. It makes sense as long as he doesn't try to brute force it like before.

This and a few of the other announcements, buff consolidation etc makes me think we may as well go the whole hog and just make it 4 classes. Fighter, Healer, Scout, Caster. SOE seem dead set on making the 24 classes mirror images of each other. Why? The attraction of SOE was 24 classes with varying degrees of competance within specific circumstances being complementary to one another. Why do all healers have to be equally viable within specific tight criteria? Why do all fighters have to be able to generate the same degree of hate in the same zone? Why am I even bothering writing this? The whiners have got their way and the lazy devs have finally given up trying to appear to earn their salaries.

I fear that the next expansion may well see me giving up on the franchise.

Because at the end of the day when you see people LFG then some people wont take certain classess cause they have this conceived notition they suck.... like some people think furies cant heal, all they can do is dps, some think SK's cant tank...some think that troubs < dirges.... necros and conjy's are terrible... <while not the best the arent horrible> So they have to get every class within a certain range to have it apear "Fair" so that when they say need 1 more healer... anything can go with reasonable certainty of success..

curuw

all they do is dumbing down the game
its the same like makeing 1 stat for all crits
everyting gets more and more obvious and diversity, the thing i like(d) most bout eq2 is diminishing more and more

at least for me they are killing the game

Vosloo

SOE already gives up Eq2, move to WoW all.

Hay guys it's OK because:

So a tank in legendary stuff will be able to hold aggro from a fully fabled dps class, woot. I might be able to get through an entire raid without having to engage my brain at all. How awesome is THAT?

That leads me to the question if a casual DD player will "work" with raiding pugs, which means, he'll be able to dps almost like a full fabled DD...
