So what's the alternative?


Logically it would be to remove stun from elds, ments and chanters and give them a root instead.


Then give bard a baseline single target stun, spec aoe stun, spec insta stun and spec aoe insta stun.


Are you sure that you want that?

What makes you think that Bards would need AOE stun?

Considering that Mid's and Alb's primary healers get baseline stun, why wouldn't it be given to druids?

i'd think because someone in hib would need such things... and bard is logical choice sense healer in midgard has them.

Strange.. but mid/alb casters can actually kill people without "hard" CC on the same class that is doing the DPS... go figure!



All casters have a HARD CC, Roots and Mezes (With 2 alb casters gaining both as well as the SM).


I don't see why you have such a hard time with Stun Nuke Nuke, it's a very simplistic way of killing people... on my Mentalist I only kill really weak players with stun nuke nuke... the better ones I have to work to kill.



Ok lets see. I root you and you stun me, who is going to win that fight? Giving a caster the ability to stun his target was IMO one of the dumbest things DAOC did. It is up there with the warlock class.

Hibs would be sooooooooooooooo happy if that happened.

Doc - my point was that stun is situationally not much fun to be on the recieving end of but no more or less over powered than root.


I still don't know why anyone would bother in a zerg as it's easier for 10 casters just to assist on you. If you're some bod on his own at the front then that's going to happen and you're going to die unless they started casting at 1650 and you noticed and turned around inside a second (and lag not kicking in).


As for giving stuns to a bard.... Why not just play a healer instead? Surely the fact that all realms are slightly different is an appealing point of DAoC?

It makes more sense for Druids to get it since Clerics also have it. If it were a "primary CC class" thing then Sorcs would have it.

Obviously them, because you just wasted time casting a root on a caster in a 1v1 fight.

Hibs don't presently have AE stun, neither does alb...therefore it's a stretch to think that it would be necessary to compensate hib as a realm for giving casters root and putting single and insta stuns on other classes. If Hib were to get an AE stun, Alb would cry til they got one...and who wants to see THAT?
