Questions of June 26

This is a three part aggro question for whoever wants to take a stab at it

1) Nothing aggro reducing works on Necromancer dots past the zero tick. This makes it difficult for lower level Necromancers without death peace, or Necromancers with inferior tanks to survive. Are there plans in the future to make aggro reducing foci and AA's work on dots past the zero tick?

2) Dot crits still create twice as much aggro as a normal tick does. This is contrary to direct damage type spells which suffer only a minor increase in aggro for this boost in damage. On the same principle as above, is it possible to look at this long standing issue and correct it?

3) Finally, not all Necromancers want any kind of reduction in aggro, no matter how minor, all the time. Silent Casting is a wonderful AA for those fights where aggro is a real issue, like PoTime Zeks, or more recent content such as Zi Thuuli. If your a necromancer and want this ability you must train spell casting sublety first, which is something I won't do myself as I like my high aggro for kiting. Is it possible to remove the pre-req from silent casting and allow the aa to be purchased on its own merits so we can toggle when we have high or low aggro?

In number one are you really advocating that necros need something agro reducing prior to level 16? Cuz last I checked that's when we get FD... and that works fine. The DP AA is a lovely thing which allows us to squeeze out a few more casts, but that agro reduction is available to all necros from about day two.

It's nice to see lazy necs that can't manage their agro finally seeing some representation! (sarcasm, for those not familiar with me!)

Can we make the next necro question be why do we have such a retarded CC and how do we get a new one?

From Kytherea.

As long as a correspondent does the required tasks as I have given them, and they are not breaking forum or in game rules, then they are doing their job properly.

I can not control what they say on fan site forums or what others decide to do with a correspondents access to in game channels they do not "own" or fan site forums. I also will not remove a correspondent from the position because people do not like them, as long as they are following the rules and doing the things I have asked of them.

Sauraman your an Idiot. Kythera doesnt care if your an idiot but alot of necros do.

Assuming he cares what you think, which he most likely doesn't...

Probably wiser to work with what we have than to whine about the wanna-coulda-woulda's.

Read that thread. Shoulda-woulda-coulda. Why do i get a real answer to why the robe was fixed/nerfed and He the class rep gets a canned answer from a dev thats not incharge of items?

Sauraman your an Idiot.

And i dont need to work with him on test to get answers to the questions i have. I can just send a tell to the devs dirrectly if they have time.

Learn to spell my name. It would be great if instead of all this wasted energy flaming, you guys actually helped on the questions. If you can think of better questions that will get answered, please feel free and pass them along.

Remember, NOTHING aa or spells is getting answered yet. I submitted all the hardball questions, still jack shit in terms of a reply. Rashere says the devs aren't all working on progressive server... But if they aren't I'm sure curious what they are working on. B/c its not bugs/spells or anything that needs immediate solution as of PoR expansion release.

Silayn... It would be great if instead of bitching on these boards you were to help in real solutions. I haven't heard jack shit from you since beta. Do you have anything *useful* to add to the big boy conversation?

PS flaming on veteran forums about how screwed up test is probably isn't the best way. As you saw, Rashere said the devs aren't using all their time on it. We know its BS, but what did you expect? Your on freaking test server, there are bound to be kinks. If you don't want to deal with them, or vocalize them in a constructive manner, its time for a change of server. Even though I'm pissed about all the things you've said lately in necrotalk chat over the past few days and on forums, you always got my ear. So stop with the kid stuff, your better then that.

As a reminder I'm the correspondent. If you pass nothing my way, you get nothing passed on. I can't read your freaking mind.

[Silayn Test]

Dont care Sauruman your still an idiot.

If your dumb ass wasnt kicked from every chat channel you may actually be usefull in talking to but im not gona come to you. You can read Lucy you can see when spell data files get patched. Same as me.

Rashere says... Rashere says... Funny but why is it when i need to talk to a dev i hop on to the combine beta and see 10 of them? Sure they arnt working on the progression server, then why the hell are they there?

You dont hear jack from me Sauruman because your honestly not worth the effort for me to try and find you ingame if your not in any chat channels. Ckador has great access to getting in touch with me along with a few other necros... Why cant you?

And You have no fucking clue what is going on with test server. You have a toon on test.. why not stop over and see. try to realize what is going on. There are about 30 qvic geared players on average at any given time. But these guys prefer to not do DoDH, DoN, Por missions or do anything... How the hell does shit get done on test when no one goes there. My bitchind proves to some people who you have no fucking clue who they are. To understand that having test around as a 3rd party server isnt working. You have no fucking clue on what test is doing with the population or how exactly it works. Do you even realize how many people on this server even have a complete spell book, or even do anything? No.

But by making a visual bitching post brings about meetings with the devs to realize problems.

Now Sauruman your an idiot and i stand by that.

Actually, I am definately leaning to disagree with the 'work with what we have'. What we have is becoming seriously harmful... is not communicating what we want, has been going off on his own agenda from day one, and most importantly brings negative attention down on our class on a regular basis. Necros here have spoon fed issues to him, have worked over texts and even written things for him. It has gone no where since he continues to forge ahead on his own destructive trail leaving everyone else watching with irritation.

I point blank have asked Sarurman to leave discussions before believing that when he posted he did more harm than help, and that his silence was a better option than his contribution (one can always at least ask). If there's a bad way to say something he seems to manage to find it, if there's negative attention he seems to find a way to draw it down on us.
