Yes, it's nice to see that there's even smaller difference on level 50 and
level 100 tank now(naked).
Truly, difference before wasn't high(when talking about nomads) and with
hybrids, you noticed only higher level that they had more hps(societys) and
more skills/spells.
If this tune was to make nomads more wanted on eq parties, this still doesn't
change the fact that nomad tanks "have to" watch text scrolling on screen.
They don't have anything else to do in party.
Still i prefer hybrid with 800hp in party than idle nomad who doesn't even
talk back.

It wasn't about nomads and eq parties. There were atleast half a dozen
reasons for implementing this change, yet somehow people assume this
is directly related to "boring" nomads in eq parties. A hybrid tank
is a very interresting character that has the ability to act both
in parties as well as solo on his own. He tanks, he heals, he
blasts. But he does none of these things superbly, he is after
all a hybrid, not a master-of-all. Hybrids are challenging to
optimize, but have the added bonus of being able to cope on
their own and not being so dependant on partymembers.

This tune was made to make hybrid tanks harder to use in EQ partys?
Do you want us all to reinc nomad? If so, make nomads less bore, please
Why do you make it more challenging? To give highbies something to minmax?
The highbies have the knowledge/eq to adapt, but you end up screwing the newbies/midbies, over and over and over...
Please explain this concept of balance... how does the balance factor justify continuous downgrades?

nomads less boring. In the meantime, there's only so much you can do around a
background focused on having lots of hps and doing mucho melee damage.

I\'m sure the wizards would greatly appreciate specific ideas on how to make
nomads less boring. In the meantime, there\'s only so much you can do around a
background focused on having lots of hps and doing mucho melee damage.
Then quit whining and adapt.
As a newbie/midbie, the hpmax tune hasn\'t affected me at all (or if it has, it
was by a such pathetic amount that I haven\'t noticed it)

If you didnt understand those at first time,
please reread those again.
I wonder what happened to 'greater taunt' skill.
