This is where it all went wrong and purple potions ruled the years after 2008. 6-11 mini heal vs a 11-16 mini heal Vs overpowering purple pot every 3 seconds. The change requires more aggressive fighting with bad snap decisions. What should have changed in hindsight was meditation usage every 25 seconds or decrease rate of mana recharge so you are wiser with spell choice as well he fight progresses. Why do you think they nerfed macer mages? Why do we get more complaints of purple pots ruining a "minority" of this gaming community? If you want counter strike or modern warfare type first person shooter games play somewhere else. This game has a balance that I think has not been found. Bows have a range advantage. Maces drain stamina for a reason instead of doing a whole lot of damage. Swords hits the hardest and fencing is quick small hits. Magery has the same balance 64 spells and alchemy adds to the chaos. The basic objective is to hit the other guy more than you take damage. Hp,mana, and stamina create the defense vs offense balance.Bravo to creating an economy based around purple potions and making maces nearly useless and force the quick and the dead mentality using a hally with dp poison
Quick fix add more stamina damage to maces so at least if you some how survive a hally attack while following with purple potions while harm spamming the attacker might have to put a little space in the backpack for refresh potions instead of an all out purple potion warfare that didn't exists because most were either to poor or destroyed the opposition in 97-98. Before they could top it all off with teleport and invis jewelry and reflect clothing.
