Hi I'm also a hib caster who stopped playing hib casters because clearing pets is on par with killing NPC guards with is just another word for PvE.



hi im a decent player i clear pets off of casters/support so they dont have to worry about pets being on them



Hi i'm a decent player who spends my entire fight running from pets or clearing pets and not actually casting on an enemy.

Hibs need another class that can mez on par with bards.



Anyone else stop reading at that point because his burrito with coke was coming through their nose?


Your trolling skills are still meager young padawan.

Vy good post and right on the nose also concerning pets. They should be toned down especially the Minst pet.

But I still think the aoe duration on Eld mez could be increased to help give Hibs another class with descent CC.

It's the theurg/BD pets that are most powerful (and pet classes in general in Alb land). Minstrel pets are powerful 1v1 but otherwise it's the interupt potential.


What would increasing their mez duration do exactly? If the bard is playing well, not locked down, then any necessary mezzes will be put out. I don't think anyone would agree that this game, or any class, needs improved CC capabilities; especially the best all-around caster in hib.

Hibs problem is not cc; It's that their main debuffer (and accompanying pet) is weak compared to the other realms. Elds need not a thing as their probably the most balanced caster after a sorc (which is borderline on the op'd side) - obv bd's and wl's aren't really balanced around anything other than some paper idea that once existed in Mythics head but they've lost the napkin and now have nfi what it is they're supposed to do with those 2.


BD pets and theurg pets are a pain but not an insurmountable one.

Problem is not Bard mez but lack of bards altogether to run groups. Hence reason to give eld a boost in aoe mez duration to give hibs another good cc class. Or change Minst Mez to Aoe and leave their duration alone, that again would give Hibs something to compete with the other 2 realms who have the obvious advantage in pets, insta casts, etc.

I'll take the bait.

1. There is enough mezzing in the game. No reason at all to improve anyone's mez.
2. Eld aoe mez is the same as SM and Theurg aoe mez - equal across realms.
3. How do Bards not compete well with Alb/Mid?
4. I can see why Sorcs are attractive, since they do good damage as well as LONG RANGE CC, but how are Bards less attractive than a Healer?

I play mid mostly and in no way do I think any realm needs more/better CC.

The only CC change in this game I would support is changing hib baseline stun to a root and giving 1 hib class stun (not sure which one).

Hib:
Bard - main mezzing class (in all groups)
Eld - short duration aoe mez (in all groups)
Mentalist - ST mez (not in all groups)

Alb:
Sorc - main mezzing class (in all groups)
Theurg - short duration aoe mez (in most groups)
Minstrel - ST mez & near unusable crappy aoe (in most groups)

Mid:
Healer - main mezzing class (in all groups)
SM - short duration aoe mez and ST mez (not in all groups)
Skald - short duration ST mez with reuse timer (in all groups)

Looks like Alb has a slight advantage, in the average group, otherwise hibs seem fine.



Fixed.

Hi I'm a dictionary, look the word decent up in me and then reflect on why your post is stupid.

Play a bard then.

What you're proposing is something along the lines of:

There aren't enough thanes in groups; therefore we should give Healers loads of AoE dmg spells to make up for the fact that they are on thanes but there's no thanes in groups and ergo Mid doesn't have enough ranged AoE dmg.
