1) I don't call them uberPKmashines 2) Considering some secret ways to kill conjurers. 3) considering clairvoyance. It is a weaker remake
I call them "overpowered" that is not the same.
necromances are PKmashines.
but it is conjurers, who could raid big D solo at 40 rank.
(and kick some people on the way)
I admit, there are ways, but as long as they
are not known for the most of mud population
you can consider it as "there is no way".
Let me give you an example:
Let's imagine that there is a secret way to kill a lich
like, go in the room with him, and say "die, scum" twice in full moon.
Next, let's say this way is not known for people.
Would it help them if they don't know it? No
and for them, liches would be "overpowered".
Considering conjurers, they are available a lot of the time
and the most of CF population didn't find easy way to defeat them.
It doesn't matter if a few players know it, because you have to consider
average players. There is huge diffence between proper tactic
and some tricks.
For example, porcupines, first trick was to blind them,
so they don't asnwer. that is just trick you either know
or not, now it is long weapons trick, but it is trick
not a proper tactic. And I have to admit, there
are some tricks to fight conjurers (and I know some
of them and have guesses about a few more) but
it is class dependant.
And from any point of view, transplendant archons are out of order.
And yes, I see that conjurers toned down.. but... :)
of eyes of intrigue, limited, yes, but still.
Let's say you are being hunted by conjurer.
What you gonna do? Being hunted by other clases
I can for example go to explore, or practice, whatever
or rank in far unknown places, etc, to avoid hunters.
But if it is conjurer, I have to watch my health being
full (or nearly) to avoid gaunt, I have to think twice
before I start to fight with a mob due clairvoyance, etc.
a conjurer may just sit in guild and spam clairvoyance
and ruine the game for me because I can't rank/prac/explore whatever.
Maybe from some points of view it is not overpowered spell
but it definitly damages gameplaying (among with nightgaunt)
