My thoughts exactly. Chanters = Power bitches.

PS: Hi to all, new here and Veteran of EQ, after some free years back in EQ2.

Its clear that SoE has no understanding of what our classes really do in raids, Since illys have been parsing and passing many of the mages a useless power proc is just fucking dumb....I want to kick the guy who created this piece of junk in the face....how come T7 gear is better than our epics....and how come our epic quest involved 2 HQs, so much running around and we get the biggest piece of shit ever. Fuck you SoE....fuck you!

Why the hell would an illusionist ever need power? We've got more tools for power management than almost every other class, excluding maybe defilers and inqs. Sigh, what a waste of two days.

Dystrax

wtf?

I had to go re-read the thread where we were specifically asked to post our ideas for epic weapons to make sure I wasn't imagining things. But after reviewing it, its confirmed.... not only did we not ask for power procs, we said that FT was useless. I don't understand why the dev's ask for our input on these weapons, so they can get an idea of what the class actually wants, and then turn around and put an effect that is nothing that we asked for.

A power proc... proccing off melee no less. I don't know anyone that would use this weapon over any of the more easily attainable weapons like WOCP. Heck even the Anaphlaxis reward is probably better than this thing and its a 2h!

Please, dev's, please reconsider patching this weapon and making it more friendly to the class. Change the proc to something else, anything thats not a power proc. IMO, it wouldn't even have to add to my own dps, a clickly extra Tandem-like spell that stacks with Tandem would be awesome. Or a Feral-like group proc for the whole group that stacks with Feral. Anything but this POS effect you put on here.

Power is not an issue chanters have, yet BOTH chanters are given weapons that proc power. Its inconceivable that you would think this was remotely a good idea.

While I agree this weapon completely sucks, it does say 'any successful attack'

TANGARTH

it's also a huge hunk of shit, it could say on any successful spell attack and I'd still not use it

I cannot think of any time or situation I will ever use this. I'll finish it just to see what epic is.. but back to farming Unrest and VP (proc dagger)... that is what I'm looking for in an epic.

Just proves how "out of touch" SoE is with there subscribers. It's almost like they are trying to scale our dps back and make us buff bots.. I refuse.

Yet again a perfect example of how little some of the developers really know about the game they develop for.

So here's to the next epic quest involving trying to get a developer to understadn the needs of a illusiionist, good luck folks.
