Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
Re: Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
I think this is a great change.
Also, the only problem I see with this is in tournaments with dexxers. Mages on the field IMO are not overpowered. Too many things contribute to a good fielder.
To malice-TG, try the FS combo again. With the new expl delay and precasting expl, fs hits pretty damn fast. Also, never in OSI did expl and fs hit at the same time, I clearly remember expl + para being the perfect time for the delay.

i've started retooling luminarie... hope i don't do all this for nothing
but on a side note, i do think that the cast time for mages is alittle rough hence my reworking of skills
like i was saying in irc, with a 3 sec cast time on a 6th level spell in the field can mean your target 2 screens away, most people have good connections and spell reflect up. you run in, cast your precasted spell thats reflected, 2.5 seconds for a para if you were using it. targets out of range in like a second heh

Re: Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
dont go to crazy with retooling. You should jsut alter your play style with him more then anything. hally mage with 25 dex still uber. trust me
Re: Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
granted it'll do decent burst damage still... if you can get it off
Luminarie
Re: Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
Retooling as well. Want to at least try out a dexxer in open field and see how it goes. Keeping Magery and Resist, so it'll be pretty easy to revert back if need be.
Re: Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
changing template to pvp tamer... new timers are rediculous

RIP Mages.
lol @ you people who think mages are still just as good as dexxers on the field. Whatever you are smoking, please give me some. Obviously none of you have fought a good dexxer with your mage on the field since these changes. Wait, I forgot. I am about the only one that actually field fights. The rest of you just PvE and fight in tournaments.
Please stop telling me Stamina hasn't been fixed yet. Everyone and their mother can afford greater refresh kegs so stamina loss will do absoultely nothing.
Worst change on the shard ever. This will definitely go down in history. Welcome to the era of 95% dexxer fights.

Re: Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
i agree considering i just tested this, and basically i can cast an ebolt and my friend runs as soon as i casted it and i had stop pretyped in party, when cursor comes up i said stop and apparently you can get 35 tiles away on average,ironfistmax wrote:RIP Mages.

Re: Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
use lower circle spells and hard hitting weps with instahit.. exp pots, magic weps, charged weps, wands etc.. oh and poison duh.. if dexer thinks he can cast spells on u wait for him to disarm and instahit with 100% gauruntee (assuming na wrestlin)
anything goes in field i'd say gives advtg to mage slow or fast cast

Re: Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
Im just saying either way I like it. I have no problem with the way it was or the way it is now. If its accurate, then you people who played OSI shouldn't be complaining IMO.
And, on what shard were any "good" dexxers easy to beat? Div dexers are just as overpowered and anyone who knows how to use them "can" cause you to recall or die on any shard.
The fact that your not bound to a 16x16 arena is why I think its worse for duels and something should be done about that instead.

Re: Patch 44 - June 12, 2008
that is exactly why a dexxer will win any pot-tourney hands down. you've 1 dump, you fail, you die. being able to "run" or, evade.. is just part of the game that tournaments don't allowbOmb wrote:The fact that your not bound to a 16x16 arena is why I think its worse for duels and something should be done about that instead.

Double pump ebolts = all dex.
While accurate, is not fun.
