So, heard about a possibilty of a new lvl 80 instance coming in the next few LUs . Interested, I searched for it, found the log of the EQ2 House of Commons and came across not only the info about the instance but, someone also asked the devs about the future of crusaders.

Destinova - *Istar* Is there any plans to reevalute the Crusder (SK/Pally) Itemizations stats and Spells/CAs to bring them more in balance with the Rest of the fighters. AKA right now are mesh in going to between 4-5 stats meanwhile other fighters are focusing on 3.. While the gear out there realy tuned for 3 stats as well.
Archonix - We're currently evaluating the benefits certain classes gain from differing attributes. No specifics yet, but it's on the radar. We're also looking at combining the effects of +CA Damage and +Spell damage down the road for Paladins and Shadowknights.


So, what does everybody feel about this? Kind of vague, I know, but the idea of combining CAs and Spells?

Not some crazee uber upgrade stuff... but least its something, at least they realize our class IS indeed lacking behind other classes and they do have SOME intention of attempting to fix it.

Please ask him what we need our AE spells for. I mean they somewhat realized it with warlocks and their epic. They forget about us?

Combining spell/ca mods would be an asstastic way of saying - ty come again. I think I'm near an effective cap on both without even trying. Both our spells and ca's dont hit for enough to really benefit much.. are you guys seeing something different?

Bring up the point that with all the insanely increased melee attack damage being done nowadays (MC and DA results), that our spells have grown too weak to keep us effective - even with the spell mods. I group with a troub most of the time, and wanna know what my highest non-melee dps comes from? PoTM - more dps over the entire fight than any of my other spells.

I think our base spell damage seriously needs to be looked at. Otherwise the stupid spell/ca mods arent even going to help.

Or give us DA aa's if they wanna go melee line.

Something big needs to change though.

This is great. hope they change mythical to Spell dmg too... it maybe a small upgrade but still well needed.

I dont know where everyone is getting the we are underpowered from

Our class is fine, we parse high 3k nearly 4k on 3rd floor vp orange con mobs with a illy and DA

We can also tank fine - i stood up to 4 epic x4's at once in SOH and can tank VP trash fine - I'm fine with the guard taking the bigger mobs, thats life

I dont want any radical changes to SK's - we can both tank and dps very effectively, if you know what your doing and have the right gear.

A couple of tweaks here and there sure thing.. but our class is far from broken.

Totally agree, the main problem is that there are 6 tank classes and raid only need 2, 3 at most. That imo is the problem.

That said, there are a lot of minor things that should be fixed.

Seriously this is with how much demonguard gear? how much santification gear on ? ANything other then Apothetic.. This is like saying as soon as we actually give you your itemization your fine.. But in the meantime only those who can get VP class gear are not broke...

Tyirul

Stop posting please.

Pitty

Nope i have 1 apothetic helm, 0 demonguard gear and 0 sanctification gear.

My gear is bits and peices from here and there.


We can perform both roles fine, as long as we have the group to compliment our task - i.e tank or dps. Just like any other class in the game needs others to help them perform thier roles.

Toughest mob so far ive tanked is shade of phara dar successfully

Ok so you want proof and parses ? ill post them
