Equipment Trends

Hitpoints will be dropping. Hit / Dam will be increasing. Special Procs, protections, divinations, class abilities will be harder to get and you will see less of them. If it was harder to get, it will have better stats.

Hit / Dam is increasing because it will make adjustments easier for code when melee is being tweaked, and because at the moment, melee damage is laughable.

Hitpoints will be dropping because the current values are higher then need be (SPOB can be done with no HP equipment), and to amplify the difference in tank vs. caster hitpoints.

Special procs, protections, divinations (di/dm/d_evil,good etc), Class abilities (hide, sneak etc) are decreasing because in our opinion they should only be on powerful or special items. Every level 20 and his dog shouldn't be walking around with swords that shoot fireballs.

Hitpoint changes went in correctly. Too many divinations were added to eq that didn't need them. They were also removed from a lot of eq, but I think overall the effect of this particular policy was diminished by the additions. Hit/Dam was the reverse of what was promised. I haven't really seen all that many procs nerfed.

Yes, but are there more than 22 players that care to answer your poll?

[Sarell]

You should make a poll for that question yayaril :) *grins*

Well I doubt I'm going to respond to this poll. Why? What's the point of it? Dug said this. It's a fact what he did. He did some of the things he said and some he didn't. Polls are opinions aren't they?
