To be considered for a role as an CRT, historically the more vocal, in your face, applicants tend to struggle with the following requirement: - Be an upstanding member of the community with relatively clean posts, and a history of not attacking fellow players and/or SOE employees. HAHAHAHA, thats g...

Heya Zegzag, my issue with him is simple, he tries to ride the middle of the road far to often and gets nothing done because of it. I can recall times in the past hes taken credit for others work as well. He downplays parsing (he has for a long time actually) and then when called on it tries to act ...

Again I'll state, parsing isn't just about DPS. You keep talking about DPS, over and over... Just in the last few days you have made posts *downplaying* the value of parsing, yet here you are trying to act as if you didn't. I did indeed know the devs had added a parser to get an idea of class DPS, I...

By your own words on this board you have shown how little value you have for parsing, thats damned sad co...

SoE isn't happy if any of the player base is.... :P TBH they could give a smurf less if players can't 1 group / solo the older raids. They will just push a patch and hope for the best, just like they have in the past. I don't see what the big damned deal is about pets tanking raid mobs anyway, if a ...

Why are you after parses? I thought they didn't matter

One of the core mechanics in EQ from the beginning has been the simple fact that raw mob / pc level *always* affects its ability to hit / be hit by another mob / pc. Its simple really, if a pet has a TON of raw attack for a given level, it will *not* do the same DPS as the same pet that is 1 level h...

Actually there are spots that actual pet level does have a noticeable impact on how well the pet works... When pets attack mobs that are more than 4-5 levels higher their DPS drops a lot. Sometimes that 1 level difference is a lot of DPS. Its the same in reverse, sometimes that 1 level difference ca...
