ok. rant on. i want you, all you people using ooze weapons, to login onto your toons with ooze weapons, drag them outside your inventory, click accept, and delete that weapon right then and there. ooze weapons bring nothing but bad to half the raids in the game, and the other half they are still annoying

the oozes add nothing. they do no damage, get rekt, and have insane aggro pull for some reason. maybe care about tanks a little and stop slotting that? tanking with oozes is just the worst experience ever, so many people get rekt by the boss flipping due to ooze aggro. and i realize i will get people telling me "Well uhm actually your tank sucks and has bad aggro," and to those people i say "have you ever played a tank?" seriously, stop. with. the oozes.

if that doesnt convince you, let me tell you a few raids that ooze weapons make the raids 1000000x harder. there is this little raid called project nemesis. if a SINGLE ooze spwans and melees zulkis ONE TIME, he teleports and the laser person misses or has to retarget or whatever. end result is raid takes longer with no upside

ever heard of lag old and new? one of the worst raids ever in the game, and sadly the most commonly run raid in the game (according to ddo audit ), ooze weapons can make this raid incompletable depending on your party comp. the fire aids spreads by party members being close to each other, and higher stacks means more people dying. well, oozes spread it too. so a single ooze weapon user causes 3-5 new things to spread the fire aids, and once again, it adds NOTHING to the raid other than more deaths. not to mention keeping the boneguards out of the blue. plz stop with ooze weapons

BUT WAIT! THERES MORE! in ven of diapers, the hydra needs to be kited to different circles so the head can drop in them and be killed within a time limit (if you park it somewhere, it still needs to be in the center at the end). well, thanks to Bob the Ooze Abuser, the hydra now has 50 oozes wailing on it keeping aggro and preventing the hydra from being kited. omg just stop

PLEASE for the love of god, STOP USING OOZE WEAPONS IN RAIDS! if you are going to use an ooze weapon, do it with solos or something where you cant bother people like me. thank you

Chriss, when you get to a 64 bit server TOaN we don't see that lag. In fact, I don't remember seeing any lag in any raid.

As your point, those ooze weps don't belong in any raid IMO

I was an ooze rebel until I saw the shenanigans in DoV and TON and unslotted tar. Don't destroy your weapon, folks!

Christ, calm down. It's true that oozes are poorly designed, because summons are terribly designed, but there's no need to get angry with the players.

We need to lobby for the devs to fix the problems that these kinds of things cause. Starting with the ability for players to disable oozes and reactivate them as needed. That way, they could have them when playing solo and disable them in raids.

But summons in general need a profound change. Instead of getting angry with players, get serious with the devs. There's work to be done in this area. We need to fix what's not working, not get angry with players for using the options the game offers.

Also, many players using these weapons don't read the forums. You gain nothing by getting angry with your fellow players. Start lobbying to get the devs to take action.

PS- I like more your raid names than originals lol

This is one of the great things about Isle of Dread, you can make a weapon with the ooze debuff without the ooze. Ironically the non-raid version is preferred over the raid augment in most cases.

Situationally oozes can useful, but yeah they are often a liability

Healers are currently very welcome in raids. I often have to swap into my healer when the group is forming.
