/E: and i already casted back in arena days on all chars, even too it sucked hard back then... casted off cast were multi cast was possible on every cast with crtl + click and i cast now :)

Won't lie... I feel like we should take away easy mode. People are asking for easy mode to be changed so that the game gets easier in solo mode. Game was easy enough already before people could use it. It's a luxury to be able to select 1 max EP at lvl 100+ on an unlocked class. We don't need to buff something that's designed to help new players so that geared people don't need to learn how to use skills or think about strategy while soloing :P

Easy mode to make the game easier.. yeah ofcourse :D
The game is not easy for players starting out. And hitting these event modifiers makes it far far worse- like DOHtrader said, the problem is when you try to solo 71+
It's not as simple as "use your abilities better" if you can't even generate charges when encountering 3 regular mobs before getting pummeled and rushing back to town.

If you want easy mode off, /set easy 0 it's as "easy" as that, enjoy the risk and reward of encountering 3eps. New players don't even realize this is a command. And as it is now, we are forcing under-geared and first time players to reroll or create a secondary character just to farm back to the limitations of their gear before even experiencing the goal of the game- THE MASTER QUEST


/edit: At the very least, I think we should make easy mode an option under Settings for everyone to see. Whether it works passed 71+ or not can be a whole other suggestion to tackle.
Easy mode is activated for a characters first MQ- so are we assuming after 1 MQ when it gets turned off- that they are fully understanding the game, have figured out how to gear themselves appropriately, and have selected at least a sub-optimal selection of abilities to use?

If you had an easy monster before, save some ability charges. Save the easiest monster from a 3 monster wave and use it to heal up. I know your gear isn't that great, but there should also be a reason why you want to upgrade your gear. Not just cuz you wanna shave off 1 minute from whistling mindlessly :P

Imagine if "off meleing" was a thing in the actual state of the game, not sure you would melee a warlock even if thats you prefer in games in general due to how trash it would be. Casting is op vs melee thats why offcasting is a thing its as simple as that

If I can make it to lvl 143 solo on a feeder class while wearing a 37 int dagger and a 21 int "robe" I think you guys should be able to figure out how to play above lvl 71 in a 100% monster difficulty event above lvl 71 with reasonable gear :P

The problem isnt the easy mode, the problem is when you try to solo levels 71+ with events that makes it harder then the "normal game" (which is like 70% of the events these days lol) easy mode doesnt take in consideration that the game can be 90% harder with events thats why people are asking for a change to it

It’s bc you use tank robes, whereas everyone else (including hc locks cheeya and Jacob) use int robes. You’re missing out on a ton of damage by doing this and your heal is more than enough to keep you alive. Just stat like 60-70 vit and get a 40+int robe and you’ll be trucking a lot faster
