Add Channeling Mastery

[sauruman]

Why didn't necros get this? I was PISSED on release when I saw we didn't get this. Trade this for silent casting or some other bugged/worthless aa or something.

I voted yes. There are three reasons I die in EQ usually.
1) FD fails
2) Laziness or competition (Warrior X tells you, "there is NO WAY you can get aggro off me right now."
Yar Lir hits you for 4255
Yar Lir hits you for 4555
Yar Lir hits you for 3555
Yar Lir hits you for 4111
LOADING PLEASE WAIT
3) STUN!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the usually method of my demise. I have max stun resist, and that helps more then anything with survivability. Chanters got this new aa with release; as casters I feel we are entitled to it as well.

[Rijak]

i agree... though the reasoning is probably that we have FD and chanters don't

[Dranul]

Wasn't it only chanters and...clerics? Very few classes got Channeling Mastery for some reason, and this is something that should defnitely be fixed. I'm not sure if it's a necro issue or even worthy of top ten, but something that should be fixed.

I am all for this... the more aa's I get the more I want aa's that are going to let me tap tank mobs better.

[Jebasiz]

We're gonna have a "top 26" if this keeps up...

I voted yes. While I would like to see this, I can partly see some of the *cough* reasoning for us not getting it with DoD's release. We're the master of many things, including dumping aggro, in the eyes of the developers, we shouldn't be getting hit (haha, wish it truely worked out that way).

I know my sk has it in the "to get" list, since you're constantly being beat on if you're a tank, not to mention that since elemental, mobs push -alot-. Enchanters get aggro quite frequently, especially when partnered with warriors. Wizards get aggro because they don't know how to manage theirs 90% of the time. With Anguish foci and max DoT crit AAs, I find myself getting aggro alot more than I used to (that, and I tend to be lazy in xp groups). Even on raids I'm finding it to be easier than it ever has been to outaggro tanks if I'm not careful, so the ideology that we shoudln't be getting hit is far from the case in the real (game) world.

perhaps sony says, that necs dont need it, because we have better aggo control with fd.

BUT on the other side, the aggo reduce AAs dont work on our dot ticks and dot crits. so necs are permanently in danger to get summoned, whenever they stand up from FD, if a dot series is running.

if a non dotter isnt summoned immediately after a nuke, slow, heal or whatever, he is safe. we are not!!! we risk a summon every damn next tick.

of course we deserve this channeling AA: YES!

This is the idea. Get ALL the ideas out of our system. Then prioritize and link them in such a way to make a cohesive top ten list. Vote for the items you think are top ten list material now, we'll sort it out later.

[Schaeffer]

You can max out all your defensive aa's, but if you still can't get that tap off, you're screwed, so yes give us more channeling and then I'll work on getting stun resist gear ;)
