Mages are weak and underplayed

Postby sourceofprovidence » Sun Apr 12, 2009 2:48 pm

All high lvl's are fighters.... simple reason, they do better damage. and have more armor/health. Mages spell damage needs to be boosted, takes a fig about 6 spins to kill a spirit lvl 17, and a mage 15 pueaso or 10 vis puesdo to kill them. That seems unfair.... also can int effect the spell damage? i got a sorc with 30 intelligence, 31 in a minute here, and he still takes forever to kill spirits, who barely hurt him because running/trans (each hit actually does 1/4 his hp or so.) which is about 562.

Stats 11-10-21-31-18 sorc
does horrible casting damage?
Has low health (understandable)

damage is not balanced yet, i lvled a lvl 25 fig while waiting for karl to balance it, we should be doing way more damage than a knight should at the same lvl.
of course gear will have something to say. lvl 19 Sorceror Maximus macigos IV here :D

I should add that as soon as this update comes out, I'm leaving aside my lvl19 fighter and returning to my lvl18 mage. So you won't be *all* alone! :D

we had a mage rage today.. four mages grouping at once it was pretty sweet.. i think multi damage could be improved also mage hp is too low, at lvl 21 monstrosities still hurt when i cluster them lol. my 25 knight with bomb gear has 2200hp and my 21 mage with decent gear has 568 lol

yeah i think he went a little off when he made mages weaker, they are supoused to be weaker physically and strong mentally but a difference of that much health is just to wierd, i think it may have something to do with defence having little to say.
