This link was posted on my guild's message board and I found it interesting.

Nonono, you don't get it! THIS IS BAD! You'll have Necro Splurt teams replace the Wizard Manaburn teams, and they'll be able to solo Emperor with their pets tanking! OH NO! NERF NERF NERF NECROS! Delphi is right!
*shrugs*
Shaman and Necro DoTs still own Druid's.
Druids and Necros are still shafted in encounters.
Oh well 
Not like Druids can buff outside of Circle of Seasons, and maybe some people would rather have prot of the glades then aego, and I've *very* rarly seen regrowth of the grove... So Shamans have a better regen. Mage own us with damage shields...
I find it funny that most people who play druids do so because they can solo up to 60. But when they go on raids, they whine because they feel usless.
Me, I played a druid because of the ports, wolf form and other little nifty things. I had no idea that druids could solo so well untill about 30. (that's when I truely started to solo, I was always grouped with some friends in EK for a long time)
Don't really care about being usless in a raid, the only thing that bothers me is when other people make offremark comments about it to me. It really pisses me off to hear someone say "What the hell good are you, dr00d?"
And yet, I'm the one who's usually healing said asshole's life...

You keep your epic if you do a character move, methinks.

Only Mages.
Because their epic is a spell.

Of course you realize that because you're saying that, true or not, YOU'RE WHINING!
And if you try to prove it's true then you're just stubborn and impossible to argue with.

Taylen had this to say about Duck Tales:
Actually they seem to have found a way around the 15 limit. I believe that is mentioned further down in the thread.
Looked through the thread.. didnt find anything. [ 08-17-2002: Message edited by: Pesco ]

Ditto.
If I still played a Necro I would have been bitterly dissapointed yet again.

The 15 buff limit goes far beyond necro dot stacking. It effects everyone.

Pesco obviously shouldn't have said:

And yet six wizards can still land six nukes, six rogues can still land six backstabs, and any number of any class that deals damage as a primary function can still deal thier damage regardless of how many of thier class is present.
Except necros.

Then you have a mob like aaryonar who will own the raid without slow and the 15 buff/debuff limit is already reached. = ( [ 08-17-2002: Message edited by: Eomer ]

Never claimed it didn't. I only claimed Necros were the only class whose primary ability was directly crippled by it.
We'll have to see how far we can take it, though - Adding a pile of new slots to every NPC in the game could have some pretty bad side effects that we'll be monitoring and tuning on test.
...and we'll have to call yesterday "20+ hours" instead.

I gathered from that, that they have managed to surpass the 15buff limit on npcs by at least a bit.

My guild owns four of those afaik, they aren+t all that rare.

Quoted from necro.eqclasses.com:
As lame as it is to quote oneself:I wrote:
"* Unfortunately, the 15 effect limit is a totally different beast. It's one we'd like to tackle at some point, but not likely in the short term. Anything that PCs and NPCs have in common is a real bear, as I hope you can imagine."
and
"We all feel very strongly about this game - Or we wouldn't spend 12+ hours a day working on it. It's pretty much as simple as that."
Yes - That was the downside. Each copy of a DoT takes up its own slot, due to duration, focus, and damage credit differences.We definitely know the effect that would have on DoT casters on raids. (Between Rowyl and Jahaar and the boards -- I get it. I swear.
However, after some massive late night rewriting, we have an answer to the 15 slot limit for NPCs. We should be able to extend it out at least a little now.We'll have to see how far we can take it, though - Adding a pile of new slots to every NPC in the game could have some pretty bad side effects that we'll be monitoring and tuning on test.
...and we'll have to call yesterday "20+ hours" instead.- S.
So yes, there will be a stretch on the 15 buff limit.
