Yep, I see only good moves, like most of the time since DBG.

DBG does a good job as far as I can tell

- Paladin - Increased the mana cost for all ranks of Disruptive Persecution to better coincide with the damage dealt by the ability.

Guess you need to be a mage or enchanter to actually say that DBG does only good stuff, considering the amount of lament after the fade desaster .

Mages have gotten their share off nerfs. But I like that all classes cannot just /afk /win. But need to play the game. We always talk about how fun it where to group and how fun the old days where. In the old days you did not have all the stuff that they removed now.

I'm quite happy with the recent changes for the paladin class. Fade wasn't that much used in raids and I found some new utility to fade in group content. Overall it just means people will have to adapt and that's why they're crying, not necessarily because the changes are bad (reminds me of when they cried Headshot was "nerfed" when it was in fact boosted...).

Of course most of the changes they made recently from paladins were stuff taken away with previous changes.

Ench have been nerfed in several ways, Mage too.
But it's going the right direction, so I'm not complaining.
Adding some more mana on some of your spell should not change much.
And for the fade, well, has been a lot of angry ppl BEFORE it gone live, but I don't see much since then.
We have to live and adapt to the direction DBG want the game to go, and all I see, is it's going on a good direction. And they doing stuff and don't let game die.

Generally, trying to re-achieve a certain class balance is a good thing.


Boosting melee classes was long overdue, and despite two considerable boosts, melees will not be able to claim the top rank on any fight longer than 30 seconds, but at least, a capable melee will now be at the lower caster ranks (read, somewhere close to magicians). Boosting all caster classes and nerfing mages (rains) was pretty shitty (for mages), hit us pretty hard and I don't like it. The changes to fade were nerfes, aye, but they brought the abilities in line of each other (mostly). That Paladins got a "nerf" by increasing the mana cost of a spell is sad for paladins, I agree, but seems to be implemented for the sake of "balance" as well. There's no need for paladins to like it, though.

But in a general way, DBG seems to at least have an idea where they want EQ to head. That's more reassuring that EQ will continue than that half-assed "expansion" they vomited out.
