Sorry, I should have been more clear. What mmorpg? Clerics in some can wear heavy plate, but no offensive magic user can that I know of. The priest class in WoW can only wear clothe and that was quite frustrating to me on my priest. Agro management was a real art.

Now, not that you really want to know, but I feel like educating your ass today. I call today's class hate lists 101.

To answer your question without getting into the details about how hate lists and aggro works, the first part means that a caster is doign too much damage, often too early in the fight, before the monster is sufficiently mad at the tank. Thus he attracts the attention of the monster away from the tank that is equipped to mitigate damage. This can cause all sorts of problems. With regards to my specific comment, however, since the caster is a cloth class with low defense skills and hitpoints, healing him is very inefficient in terms of a clerics' mana usage. Consequently, sometimes it's just better to let him die.

The other thing i said about waking mezzed mobs means waking mobs that have been put to sleep by an enchanter or similar class. Mezzing (from the word mesmerize; ie the state you are apparently in when you are looking at pictures focused on ed's crotch) is done when you pull multiple mobs at the same time so that you can focus on only one at a time. When the mob is disturbed, he'll either go straight for the enchanter, or if he's also rooted, start beating on whoever is closest, which is usually the idiot that woke him.

Lastly, /assisting is an eq (and other games too) macro you would create to select the target of your main tank. When you're in cramped quarters with lots of people and lots of mobs, sometimes target selection can be difficult and this helps to avoid a situation wherein you start attacking a mob that has been mezzed.

Dude, do you really think he knows what macro means, or mez?

Basically a group setup (5 or 6 people playing together): you have a couple guys who are there to do damage to an enemy but they wear lighter armor and can't suck up damage - if they get hit by the enemy(ies) they die really quickly.

Then you have one guy there (the tank) who wears heavy armor and forces enemies to attack him, so that the other guys aren't taking dmg. He's there to suck up as much dmg as possible.

Then you have a healer, who's job it is to keep the tank from dying.

The problem is that the guys with the light armor are generally overzealous about smacking things up, so they gain aggro (basically, the enemy gets pissed at them and starts wailing on them), and since they aren't wearing heavy armor like the tank, they get killed too quickly for the healer to heal, and they generally blame the healer for their own mistakes.

mezzing just refers to holding an enemy in place so that it can't attack anyone. however, if someone hits the mezzed mob, it unfreezes and starts attacking again (and they usually go for the healer). Crappy players will often times use attacks that blast a whole area instead of a single target, so that causes the mezzed mobs to wake up and start killing the healer. Then they subsequently blame the person doing the mez-work on their own idiocy.

So really, it becomes fun because there's a bunch of assholes yelling at each other and it gets addictive because you feel like YOU'RE not the one ******* up, so you can't stop until you beat it

I was just being an ass. Sadly, I know what macro and mez are

I'm also a master of min/maxing.

Ah, I don't know about MMORPGs far as stuff like that goes.

I do know in Oblivion you can totally rock the heavy armor, as well as in D&D and all derivative systems. That and Shadowrun are the extent of my RPG knowledge.

There should be a vanilla flavor for that.

It's coming to a store near you.

When I was doing EQ hard core, my guild would meet in Vegas twice a year. I wish I had the link to the pictures, as there were at least three smoking hot women in the guild, and several passable pieces of tail. I was already married at the time or I would have been chasing some of that. No Joel, that old cliche is long gone. Heck, I was watching something on gaming this weekend. They say more married women play MMORPGs now that males under 17.
