Now this is just a hypothetical situation here, don't jump the gun now.

It's just...some of these new spells...damn...

And those are just the two prominent ones. I keep re-reading them looking for some catch, the hidden nerf. Things like this just don't happen without a catch! Not to Necros!! My entire reality is coming crashing down!!!

At first, yeah, a little.

But not for a long time, I'd stop after a while. Truth be told, Sony/Verant did a whole hell of a lot RIGHT with Luclin. So it's understandable that those who left would be seeing good reasons to be coming back.

I get about 3 useful luclin spells as a mage:

1)Transon's Phantasmal Protection. 23 AC/5HP regen/3 Mana regen a tick

2)Veil of Elements: Level 54, Improved invis

3)Elemental Blanket: Shoulder resist item

Im not too terribly happy about the Summon Phantom Armor line though. Lets us summon store bought type armor...leather chain or plate. Droppable and such, but we cant wear any of it. So its only use is giving to newbies in newbie scities (provided they arent already twinked with somethin better)

I don't have Luclin yet... but when I get it, I can't wait to use the level 54 Familiar...

Question... Can a Non-Luclin user get Luclin spells? (I don't remember how it was with Kunark, as I got both those right away).

I actually played mine again today after the anal fisting they gave bards with the patch. The disease snare is great (first snare that doesn't resist against magic), although with all the debuffage + dot don't expect to have the mob leave you alone anytime soon. And this funeral pyre....holy bejeebus, even if it costs 2 bubbs of mana a cast it would still be great. Together with the new focus item this will be a great expansion for casters. If like playing a necro, by all means go for it, you'll be able to solo undead indoor pretty well (if there are any in luclin, I won't be setting foot there for the next month or two except to get my songs, I really need to get 60.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Then you get all your stuff back, and better yet, and end up more powerful than before. That's what it was for me!

Ranger spells so far that I have seen are gimp. Some Archery buff I'll use next to never unless using Trueshot or have Archery Master x3 (which to get that to my knowledge is like lvling to 60 twice), They broke Call of the Predator, Force of Nature doesnt stack with SoN or Chloroplast. I bet that the lvl 60 self buff doesnt stack with Call of Earth or SoN and maybe not CoP, not to mention it has LESS AC then CoE, they just slapped on a ton of ATK and DmgShield, ok, so in the few seconds I have left to live I can do a bit more damage everytime he hits me, but I actually die faster.... WOOHOO! I'm not really sure what Tangling Weeds is... It think it is a Lure Snare but not sure.

Everyone can clearly see that everything you believe in is wrong and that you have no right to complain about anything, because you are dumb. If you don't like the game than quit playing.

Dont get me started on you. I need your cocky bullshit as much as I need a bullet to the head.

There is no "Turn about is fair play" here. Why? Because I am a god damn hybrid and I dont really rely on my spells that much. Not to mention there was stacking issues with Ranger Spells in Velious, but they got fixed, so I assume there are still tweaks to come to our spells. Luclin has been playable for no more then 24 hours, so I havent looked at everything yet and am still looking into some stuff. But my current impression is bad, and yes I am focusing on Half Elves and Rangers.

You probably havent even been on Luclin yet, so your comments are void anyway. Atleast I am currently up there right now looking into things, I am just reporting what I am seeing.

A friend here at work (used to work with him at AOL too, one of the guys who got me into EQ in the first place) plays a level 60 half-elf ranger on Xev. He loves all the new changes, especially the alternate advancement stuff.

From what I read... 1 point is like leveling through 51... But I havent tested it myself so I'm not sure.

The new spells over 49 seem to be mob dropped, atm alot are dropping offa mobs fairly quickly from what I hear. The 54 pet spell offa some shrooms that are blue to a 54 wiz froma post I read in Graffes.

The alternate exp seems to be adjustable in 10% increments so that you can funnel part or all exp from expierience giving mobs(ie light blue, blue) to you alternate skills. As my player is 55 atm I'm switching all over to alternate exp to take advantage of some sweet spots before I level and mobs turn green.

There are maps up at eqatlas allready, I suggest u find them. The maps included are deceptive and the zones are huge.

All in all in my opinion very nice...

So dust em off and take a look...
