Plus, if you look at all the changes to the Pre-Shapeshift Transmuters slaugher the new Clerics? Shaman's are powerful, yes, but Old Necro? Insane. Truely. Liches are Old Backstab. Yeah, new thieves are better Old Dodge. If you know what I mean, you know Hell, I like old assassins better too. Before Old invokers .. before AMS let vuln's through. Old DB? Really, really old spellbane? The reason why you're top of the notch killers When you had to watch out for no rp mass killers

6-12 months ago, sure. But compared to 3-4
years ago it isn't even close. There are so
many more areas now, plus the roads that things
like air majors and nightgaunts are almost
necessary to find out of the way people. You
used to be able to check 90% of the areas in
five minutes flat. Seriously.
classes ..
ones. Its not even remotely close.
old style clerics were the epitimy (sp?) of
pk machine.
better, yes, but if you take any Joe Schmoe
who can hero an old style necro. God Damn.
Not to mention the necro who sat at 30. Try
dealing with a *dev* to =obl= acid blast
every round in your 20s. Prot shield was in
the teens then too :P
than old .. with the exception of the old bs.
Once you hit 25 or 30, everyone was dead if
you landed the jack. *cough* Bael *cough*
what I mean. If not, you just wouldn't understand.
someone went and broke assassinate, you were
looking at a 1/10 chance. Naked assassins
galore. Sick, sick stuff. Not to mention
hellfire .. I loved that spell.
Hell, give me a guy with parry, old AMS,
spellcraft, chain lightning and prot shield
and I could light up 95% of the current heroes.
Old garble? Old dopple? (The where one)
Eyes, baby! Shadowbane when it first went in?
today walk through most everyone is because
they're really, really old players.
constantly once you hit level 20 .. it just
doesn't compare to the kintergarden CF is
today.
