new idea: Delete casters as a class

And then just give melees some spell casting ability, there problem solved.

No more insta kills, its all just DPS, and they can use their own spells to CC when needed.

Additionally the balance discussion is over. You will have just one class, so what can go wrong...or you could say no classes.

either way, win win for you turbine, and you could just get rid of countless annoying spells.

DDDOOOM. I have always hated the way players play casters in DDO and the way that DDO rewards the players to continue playing that style. What I mean is cast the same 5 spells over and over is actively encouraged oh and make one or two accepted builds based around those 5 spells. This is the exact reason why I have never had any desire to roll up a wizard after my initial playing around with it because the wizards in DDO is the least like any corresponding class in pnp. The sorcerer at least resembles the d&d sorcerer but the wizard not so much. I am not optimistic that the players will change the way they play wizards, but rather just move onto some other 5 spells sigh = boring.

OK, that was the best thing ever. I'm making you a thread.

So what I get out of this post is that you aren't happy with some or all of the changes, right?

Best idea I've seen thrown about so far is to just have instakills do 50% damage, and throw away the whole "hard to kill" thing, IMO. Did you have any alternate ideas for change other than deleting caster classes entirely from the game? Or are you just trying to express your frustration?

(Keep in mind, nobody knows exactly WHAT the change is that you are upset about. One could assume that it is the "Hard to Kill" mechanic, which is what I spoke to.)
