Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

AS usual the complaint of this EW and Evasion seem entirely PvP centered. Don't tell me that they give DMs headaches either BC so far I have yet to see a DM have issues mopping floors with the players who use this little feat. In fact I rarely use it in DM events BC I am too busy trying to heal my mother effin self most of the time. Or picking up the numerous amounts of corpses a DM generates almost immediately on first contact.....Talking PvM in everyday RP of dungeons I just do not see the issue as it only aids everyone at this point when you can kill the boss a bit easier and since we now have the ability to loot all the chests as a group again something like that only becomes more of a feature than a hindrance.

Its not pvp centered. Its purely PvE. With evasion being cheap as it is, every DD, FS, WM/FB etc can shrug off the damage of those cmmon spells cast by mobs, such as flame arrows, orbs, fireballs etc. Otherwiseyou will at least get half the damage. Now you avoid it completely.

With the free RCR you can try it as well. Go against the dracolich with no immunities with two different builds - one with evasion the other without. Tell me which build will chat with Myrkul sooner.

The reason builds are able to Solo bosses is not EW completly. Its both. In many cases Evasion is what makes it much more easier.

This is a problem how? Seems to me people have issue with anyone soloing then and again that is a moot point as it really just means people are tired of it for no apparent reason because if I attach a reason it will be vehemently denied. Look PvE means exactly (person) as far as a DM being able to hurt the player. I have faced Arcane spell casters that can and did mop my PB with ease. If a DM has a issue then they need to get better as a DM. Any good DM I have the chance to do a PvE has no issue with these feats on PCs. What is even funnier is the "RP" camp complains more about OP feats and Mechanics than power builders or casual players......I repeat these feats have no bearing on a event. Don't believe me? Work with Wagner, Bloodlust, Pun Pun, Silverfox or any of the DMs currently and they will and can still mop you up with little to no effort.

Good advise. I will try that first.

Any DM can mop up a PC, a group of PCs, a whole Server of PCs.

It is actually more difficult and a challenge to build an appropriate mob/NPC that balances out a fair chance, against not just 1 type of PC/build (or at least, design for various builds)...but usually that "balance" is done against the higher-end builds, such as FS, EDM Bard, Dragon Druid.

That is the real sign of skill behind the DM Client.

I have to agree with this statement, I TPK many a group when I first started out behind the client because the mobs were too OP.

It's trully baffling for me to find out that this hasn't been fixed yet. I remember that there was serious talk 2-3 years ago of fix going in, so what happened then? Uranus makes great point and suggestion, it's not only EW but the whole package with Evasion (and UMD, IMO, but that's been dealt with this dispel update).

With 100% RCR the staff doesn't have excuses not to get this in.
