Subject: Questions about the latest nerfing


I've actually put EQ on a shelf for a while, mainly out of boredom and
frustration, but I keep thinking I'll come back to it, and I've
continued to watch this list to see if Verant ever does anything to
make the game more interesting.

So, now I see that Consonant Chains apparently has a bigger effect,
but fails much more often. Is this the general consensus, or is it
possibly Verant's infamous non-random number generator at work again?

I also see that Selo's no longer breaks root. Sigh. Well, I've
figured for ages that that was a bug, so I'm not surprised. However,
it would be really nice if they fixed Alenia's Disenchanting Melody at
the same time, so that we had an alternative way of achieving the same
result. Clearly, ADM has been broken forever. Now, I see that they
have supposedly fixed Syvelian's Anti-Magic Aura, but have they done
anything for ADM, or is it still a dud?

In some ways it sucks that SoW overrides Selo's, but at least I no
longer have to worry about braking a party member's SoW when cranking
up the song. Ideally, songs such as Selo's, Water Breathing, and Aria
of Eagles would temporarily override the spell equivalents when in
effect, and then the spell effects would continue to have their effect
once we stop singing. However, I'm not holding my breath. At the
very least, I think we should ask for the ability to be able to turn
off our own SoW effect, just as you can supposedly cancel your own
levitation now.
