Matter of opininion then.  A 20% failure rate against mobs 2 levels higher than you is entirely reasonable to me.  Asking for anything more would take away from the challenge and make it 'easy'.

2 new builds on the test this week, and none contain the new feign death changes.  Any chance you could get an eta of when its gonna be on test qtm?

I hope so... even at 47, I'm having a hard time splitting in Rahz due to the fact reds hit so hard. I think I die an average of 15 times per three hours, lol - in defensive, with Aum Liat and a Martial Sword.

Yes, at 50 I do die loads trying to split for my group in RI - it's downright embarrassing. Considering that the mobs in RI and other places of level 50 player concentration are 52+, what level can we expect them to be in The Ancient Warehouse? I don't understand arguments berating those of us who wish we could use FD as a pulling tool with a fair degree of reliability as "chickens to challenge". If FD had been as unreliable in EQ1 as it is in VG, monks would have been laughed right out of the game. As it is the main reason we get PUG's on my server as damage dealers must be because nobody comes here and sees the complaints from within  the monk community about our DPS.  Why should FD be any less reliable than some specialized attack?

Currently on test the 4 mob bug used to solo split mobs is gone. Mobs still run back to spawn point and at the same time
during our APW runs. 2 monks can consistantly split any set of mobs and also choose exactly what mob comes to the group. When using only 2 monks a fast tag is needed from the tank so the monk running the mob to the grp can fd in time before the other monks fd'd mob reaches him and the grp.
This is just what i have seen and tested so far as of last night. I really hope they fix the mobs rushing back to  spawn point at same time soon.

On a side note FD stone rezz in combat is no longer usable by anyone as the gems/stones are tied to the combat themselves and not the player using them.(tested last night in APW)

And I'll bet $50 that both the disc and necro rez still works.

I'm afraid you're right about disciples here, and it's a flat damn guarantee that we'll be worthless in raids unless something changes. Without melee, disciples not only cannot use most of our good heals, but can't generate any Jin for bonds, either (we don't get meditate). You might as well invite Rakurr shaman, but tell them not to summon a pet 

So they are going to BREAK class skills because they can't design themselves out of a paper bag?


The issue is the Devs breaking classes instead of doing their job and constructing the encounters to take into account the ability of the classes.  All the ranting and the raving about go play wow won't change that.  The devs are too inept to actually think about creative encounters so have to increase the difficulty of the encounters by nerfing abilities of classes.
