[in responce to the original poster]

Your asking WHY cabalists were gimped back in "the day"?

You obviously didn't experience 4 second AoE dots, non-stacking dots, there were no insta-debuffs then, and no base str/dex debuffs. Pets were viciously buggy and would warp around a lot, especially in dungeons, creating an aggro nightmare. No resist debuffs in the vivification line, no level 50 lifetap spell and no pet movement buff.

The icing on the cake of course, the pets procs didn't work correctly.

Check out this shrine of Ye 'Olde Cabalist

I would start a smiter on Pry/Alb (but with the knowledge about nerf inc, would RvR loads before it, not just here and there) then respec it to reju after nerf asap.

Shaman on Exc/Mid (playing with him would cover the wound of respeccing my smiter ^^)

Druid, ranger on a German/Hib server.

If i had to start again, i'd do it all the same! The same server, the same elf chanter, and even the way i specced her full enchants to level 40 and wondered wtf the other chanters had that i didnt!
Wouldnt change it for the world was great fun and still is, although play ranger now more than chanter :wub:

<3 zerks. I wouldn't delete my old zerk and I wouldn't waste 6 months to get it to 50. I would roll a druid on hib/pry too prolly (the old days on prydwen was great fun) and then a light eld on avalon. :p

I'd have told my m8 I didn't really enjoy the beta so why should I play the retail version?

I'd have rolled a gf specced 36/28/34. :)

Would stick with my original char being a Cave Shammy on Mid/Pry and be in imo one of my most fave guilds ever The Unforgiven.

Also play Hib/Excal as a Druid or NS. Got a NS to 38 and then gave up lvling was way to diffcult solo back then.
