    Default XXX is overpowered

    /Rant on

    Ok, I am so sick and tired of people crying and whining because they think casters are overpowered. Every time someone cries, whines and complains, casters get nerfed. Well...

    All other races are seriously overpowered and I demand that those classes get nerfed to the extreme that casters have. Quit complaining, quit your crying and STOP your dang whining and work together.

    Cheese and Rice, put on your big boy / girl panties on and play. Next time I will take my caster in a group and just pike to see how far you get.

    /Rant off


    Now please, quit trying to nerf others because you can't play your toon right

    Let the flames BEGIN!!!!

    While I agree the 'nerf everyone but me' isn't helpful to the game...

    Considering you can finish pretty much every quest in the game without any particular class in your group, they will do fine.

    Sounds like you are doing a bit of crying and whining yourself.

    Many of the most vocal advocates of nerfing casters play casters, myself included. It's because we play our casters "right" that makes us think they need nerfed.

    Perhaps you are still learning?

    Hmmmm... I thought this thread was going to be about something else!

    Not about inane whining.

    Oh, you are right, my appologies to the OP, it must be a deliberate gimp build for him to be promoting it in his sig. All he really needs to really perfect it as a gimp though is to add say... a few cleric levels now.

    On topic, in class OP debates I usually just counsel people to wait a few updates. Melee will have their day again.

    Doesn't the gimp build require rolling to see what your next class will be at each level up? The chances of reaching lvl 10 with only 2 classes are extremely remote (about 1 in 800000). The chances of having 7 of 10 of those being wizard for firewall access is only 6.25%.

    In any case, I stand by my "I totally accept that the OP's sig character is not overpowered". heh.

    Nope have the caster figured out. Found out I do not like wizards and getting him back to sorc, slow process but doable.

    As for the others, this post was in reference to all the "Gimp the caster" posts. I have found that those cry babies get what they want. I just made this one to make them see that it is pure crying they do all the time. If you actually think I was crying lmao, I did my job

    Move along....

    Can't handle the heat?

    If you don't like what Star is writing....

    And why did you remove your sig? I want to see the g.i.m.p.s. too.

    You are spending $40ish and 4 weeks to LR him over? Wow, in that time you could have started from scratch and capped and used less money on running xp pots 100% of the time

    well, whatever turns you on I guess

    Because unlike casters, melees are not overpowered. They're actually so far behind casters that they're basically useless.

    point is people don't whine and complain they make suggestions that they feel are in the best interest of the game/game balance. You not understanding that is the problem IMO.

    There is one thing that separates casters from non casters and makes them "feel" overpowered. The ability to do AoE damage, at range, while minimizing the danger to yourself by kiting, jumping and moving around. This was the reason given quite some time ago as to why ranged combat had to be nerfed into oblivion. It was bad for the game to have such effective ranged combat but for some reason it's ok for casters to do what would be overpowering for ranged characters? That's the part that confuses me the most. (I'm not saying I want casters nerfed. I just want to know why rangers can't get a bit more of a boost as well as giving melee a few more specialized options for AoE attacks)

    I say blur the lines a bit more. Make AoE rogue traps a bit more effective. Let paladins combine smite and cleave on a longer timer maybe? Give ranged combat the love it deserves. Arcane archers have sp, let them cast actual fireball arrows. Fighters are the master of tactics, let me combo them a bit. Cleave + trip for fun times. Balance it with longer timers or make it use action boosts or whatnot. Give my monk some finishers that expand on the triple fire finisher for some AoE effects. Henshin mystic flinging fireballs sounds like fun to me. While casters should be the masters of AoE, I think the other classes should see a bit more of it.
