From Elidroth, EQ Developer in
this SOE forum thread:
Just a heads up.. The team has decided that
Suppressive Strike is too powerful to remain in game. So I'm going to be
removing/refunding the ability.
To fill the void/problem of monk
pulling casters, I'm going to be creating a new ability that effectively
works like the SK's Hate's Attraction, flinging the NPC to you. This
resolves a number of issues that came up with the way Suppressive Strike
works. Yes, I'm aware of the possible issues the fling can have and
does have with the SK ability, but this is really the only solution the
team came up with.
You can expect this for the February patch.
Later he amended his post with the following:
The HA type ability got held up due to other
things which took priority. Nothing I could do about it. Sometimes, when
your boss comes in and says "Do this.. now" you have to drop what
you're working on and do it.
UPDATE (
post by Elidroth, EQ Developer):
It's pretty simple.
The silence caused
the NPC to not be able to cast spells, but it didn't stop it from TRYING
to cast. So basically, it would just stand there and do nothing at all.
It was possible to completely stop an NPC from doing anything at all
while you beat on it mercilessly.
As for the cost, I completely
agree 15aa is too high. For march [sic], I'll refund this version of Distant Strike, and create a new one at a more reasonable cost. I'll also have the HA type ability in place. That one might cost a bit more
