So it's the medical equivalent of "A box of <insert ammunition type here>" ?

Here's an idea: Test Live Froob Accounts. This way the non-Froobs can quit complaining about paying and testing, and there'd be more testers. No, wait, TROLL AGRO INCOMING!

Having things that require about -500 nanoskills to prevent casting would mean traders, agents, and MPs have a nice little roll in pvm.

How curious, just what Mr. Kintaii told us was game disrupting and what all the debuff nerf is about.

There will be no little roll in pvm for those classes, unless they make their damage uber and reliable.

Usually Madmax is way to angry and qq. But now he's only saying the truth. QFT

Traders, agents and MP's being DD'ers? Blasphemy!

[Esproc]

Considering the first boss you encounter is the most extreme melee hate since DB2 was introduced, you might want to wait on bringing along that enforcer or any other melee toon until the crat+doc+sold finish him off

So.. what do you mean by melee hate?
"You'll need to be on the ball" or "You might as well re-roll ranged advy now" heh.

he means that when stuff happens, you have less room to avoid it, but at the same time you dont need to move as much as ranged.

Doesn't need to be all bosses, but bosses that matter I can NSD the big essence thing in collector but what does that matter when the only things that really die there are the pets.

You have to stay near the middle to outside, too far for melee to hit, because of maintaining the buffs and avoiding the fire. The room is not really designed to "pull back" the view properly to make it slightly more manageable either, at least not when I tried.

Melee professions rely on regular hits/constant perking for most of their damage as well, meaning this first boss which forces melee professions to constantly leave attack range puts melee professions at a severe disadvantage. To be honest though, I do not see a way to design that room which does not make it so difficult on melee.

Not that an MP would get any team in there.

i see the instance fully doable with an MP in team. even 2

I think the issue is without the 2 MP's it would be the same.

AO pvm is still really only for 4 classes out of 13 possible, and clearly Funcom dont want to, or dont know how to undo this.

I'm curious as to what the reasoning behind the idea that you must be able to stand still constantly and deal damage without having to move is.
