Abashi posted last night that Verant is considering un-nerfing pumice stones. They will work the same way they used to, with 0 casting time, but will only work on self or other group members.
...could this be our lucky week?

Uhm... no.
That would make them useless against damage shields.

Yep and would also negate the pumice-pull.
throwing?
archery?
PUMICE!
You score a critical debuff! (damage shield removed)

Well, I'm just saying that it is better than nothing, that's all. Ceescrit

No, it's not better, it's *worse*.
What it does is makes useless the old stones that are still in existence.
People spent thousands of PP before the nerf was complete, stockpiling the old ones on mule accounts.

No this is not a good change. It still hamstrings melees in PvP

No this is not a good change. It still hamstrings melees in PvP.
And makes them now half worthless in non-PvP

Old stones back to their exact former status would be great.
If they did bring them back with limitations, perhaps they could retain the present ones as well. Fricka of the Vallon Zek Shanks, EverQuest

Yeah but will they give them same price they used to be too ? Friggin 35pp a pumice is way too much. I remember when the insta cast versions were only like 12pp.

They aught to just have both.
Egg shaped pumice, self/group only, insta cast.
And Crystallized Pumice, all, w/ casting time
Although original pumice would be alot better.

This is another 1-year old news post. Ignore it.
It was funny the first time, its not funny now.
It's better than nothing for me and others who didn't have thousands of platinum to stock pile them before the nerf.
Even if I only got the funtionality back to being able to use it in duels I'd be terribly happy. Ro's Fiery Sundering is a bitch when dueling a druid, hehe.

Bumping ancient topics in some forums can be interesting and / or fun.
Bumping ancient news posts is stupid and not fun.
