The Rewind Episode 243 — Enchanter Mastery Part 1: Mentalist

We're back! This week Dymlos takes center stage as we begin our two-part deep dive into Enchanter Mastery in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen.

Part 1 is all about the Mentalist.

We work our way through the Mentalist Mastery path, discussing its Mez-focused abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and some of the choices Visionary Realms is asking Enchanter players to make.

The bigger question: Should an Enchanter really have to choose between Mez and Charm?

Pantheon's Enchanter draws inspiration from one of the most powerful and versatile support-class archetypes in old-school MMORPGs. With Mastery separating some of those defining abilities between Mentalist and Coercer, we discuss whether that creates meaningful specialization—or leaves each side feeling like half of an Enchanter.

We also cover the latest PTR patch, including the wipe and Level 20 boost, randomized stats on Uncommon loot, Wizard nerfs, the latest development work on Faerthale, new character customization work, and more.

Then we finish things off with our Top 5 Price Is Right Games.

Episode 237 of The Rewind is all about the long-awaited Spring Update finally coming into focus. After months of speculation, Visionary Realms unveiled a detailed roadmap showing what is arriving in Spring and what has been pushed into Summer. Draq and Dymlos break down the roadmap, discuss what made the cut, what didn't, and whether Pantheon is truly ready to "stick the landing" on its biggest update yet.

The show dives into the newly revealed Mastery system for tanks, Joppa's comments about the importance of launching the Spring Update successfully, and his repeated assurances that the update is not slipping into Summer. The team also examines the latest PTR patch notes, recent development progress updates, and what the roadmap tells us about the future of Badia de Cara, boats, mastery, crafting, swimming, seamless zoning, fishing, and more.

After tracking over 90 references to "Spring" and the "Spring Update" across Joppa's streams over the last several months, the hosts discuss expectations versus reality and whether this update can reignite player excitement heading into the second half of 2026.

Episode 236 of The Rewind sees Dymlos returning from the flu-ridden wilderness while Pantheon enters another quiet week with no Joppa streams. The crew digs into Visionary Realms' latest development update, discussing upcoming PTR level cap increases, ongoing work on Faerthale, new zone development, and continued backend system improvements. Community discussion once again fills the void with a pair of Poster of the Week selections covering communication, expectations, and the state of Pantheon discussion spaces.

The show also checks in on the latest Monsters & Memories developments before turning to MMO news, including the long-awaited launch of Camelot Unchained and whether thirteen years of development resulted in the game players were hoping for. Finally, everyone shares their Top 5 Upcoming MMORPGs, featuring Pantheon, Monsters & Memories, EverQuest Legends, Hollowed Oath, Stars Reach, Chrono Odyssey, Soulframe, and more.
