Return of Reckoning

Val, the game was ruined the moment they decided to abandon the goal of recreating the game from the live servers. For the couple of years I played ROR it was constant change, buffs and nerfs just random and whimsical to whatever classes they felt like. Clear biases for devs on their favorite classe...

Of course 4 years since I last played and this is one of the first posts I see on Zealot since checking a year ago. I guess I will check back in 4 more years to see if DPS Zealot isn't still being crapped on for no reason.

DPS Zealot, when live servers died, was tremendously fun, but also very difficult to play. So there were only a few of us doing it. It could be OP in specific situations with a skilled DPSer and a good group supporting them who knew what it could do. I thoroughly enjoyed it with my little team, it w...

They nerfed dps zealot so thoroughly into oblivion you truly must be touched by the Chaos Gods to play it.

All that record keeping of bugs for a class they stopped caring about, but thanks for trying.

Mirror of Madness looks good on paper, but at minimum, half the time you use it, it will do nothing. You cast it on someone getting heals, then they stop getting heals. You cast it on someone getting heals, they are dead when you finish your cast due to focus fire. Was really only useful on a healer...

After this I'm 90% certain none of the Devs have played a DPS Zealot for any length of time. Ok, so in some situations DPS Zealots have abilities that if done right in a premade WB are pretty awesome, but then they spend the majority of the rest of the time just sucking. The sometimes, maybe, when t...

AP regen rituals only proc on first use of a channeled ability. If they could change that to chance to proc on each second of channel and also allow AP regen items to work while channeling that would likely solve a lot of our problems.

This is my best assessment after playing DPS Zealot/Runepriest and lamenting they *could* be damned fun to play with a little loving: Both suffer from bad AP consumption and weak damage with occasional average burst. Low/med damage output can work if you can sustain it, but both barely can. Even in ...

Well on live part of what you got to do as a healer was occasionally mess with other healers using well placed silences or interrupts but given their crazy disrupt rates now it isn't even worth trying. You could also throw out some occasional aoes, but those also mostly get disrupted now too so don'...
