A time when healers were a thing... I miss it some. My main was originally a raid-healing cleric back when the raid trains were a thing and epics were epic. Good times. I recall it as a game of using aura/bursts and scrolls as much as possible to preserve SP. It was almost a badge to end a raid/quest with 1/2 sp remaining or something.

Glory days. I'm sure my healing skills were nothing special, but it was always a nice ego boost to hear compliments on them anyway. That entire skill-set has been useless for a while.

I don't miss the assholes who blamed the healer for their failure to comprehend LOS. I'm glad I wasn't healing during the time when Cocoon gave those fuckers a valid complaint.

I'm not understanding this remove scaling argument, but don't take that as an argument for or against, just confusion.

Right now scaling makes it easier to solo EE's, but EE's are still easy to solo with 5 other warm bodies in them, I do it all the time eTR'ing in PUGS to get Streak bonus.

So why will removing scaling fix the difficulty problem?

This confusion is the primary reason I am excited for a Reaper difficulty


it doesn't fix the difficulty problem it fixes the grouping problem.  It's fine if 5-6 folks can plow through EE.  It's not optimal if average players on average toons can plow through EE solo.

Those halcyon days: waiting 30 mins for a healer to run von fucking 1. waiting 1 hour+ for a shadow kiter or tank or 40 DC CCer or whatever you needed to run the raid.

Meaningful grouping is nice and all but I hate waiting. Screw those days.


I never waited. I kited on my monk or whatever other character I had if needed. A clicky or two to get initial aggro, then run around. I two manned it once with my monk doing the kiting (the caster with me wasnt overly confident in that area) and then he tanked Horoth and Suulo at the same time.

All without a shintao ring.

Those were good days. THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYS.

I just read that the cat followed up by visiting the dog house later that night, dropping some Willie Pete in on the sleeping dog.  #epochsfamiliarFTW

It seems like Epoch never loses his popularity.
Even against donuts.
