I don't mean to insult you personally (contrary to popular belief) but this statement defies belief: "I don't know if you realize it, but you really contradict yourself in this thread. You say you don't want to hear me say things like I don't think conjurers were overpowered, but you also say you don't want me to lie to you. Comments: I don't mean to insult you personally here, but I don't think it would be possible (literally) to find a player who experienced conjs when they first came in and thought they were balanced. Maybe there's some amazing imm perspective here, but considering the fact that they'd been toned down like 6 different times (I can name 5 off the top of my head), one would think that might indicate some disparity in balance.
At the time you were saying those things I was playing a mortal and killing conjurers. In fact, I was having an easier time killing conjurers than anything else. Should I tell you they're overpowered when my experience is otherwise? I don't think so."
1) No, you weren't. You were playing your human master conjurer [whose name is deleted in the interests of keeping this post on the forum], at least part of the time, and sure as hell didn't seem to have much trouble getting on the all time hero PK list in a fairly quick time.
2) You're right. When conjurers came out and their elementals hit for DEMOs at 20, and you could get shrouded level 58 nightgaunts that would haul you off anywhere at level 40, not only was that completely balanced, it was never changed. Riight.
Just my double pesos, feel free to angrily repudiate me in any and all manners possible.
