making mage more attractive

hivipinvv

i played this game, archer is most powerful and mage is the weakest (according to my opinion). and in the game mage is hardly to find. Mage is so expensive to maintain he has to depend on skills and hence the MP. an archer can still do without MP. i dont carry MPs for an archer. Just like Archers arrows dont cost for me, some skills for mage should not cost him at all. one choice is that let every staff have some skills embedded in it. or another choice is one skill in every class transfer is free of cost to use. (no MP required to use). I mean lvl 1 ,2 ,3 skills we have. let us have one skill out of every lvl free of cost. why staffs dont mention about the spell casting speed. just like bow and gun has their attack speed, staffs can have skill casting speed too. Another option is let every weapon have attack speed and skill casting speed. Skill casting speed highest for mage and lowest for archer, as archer is most powerful unit. Instead of mentioning the attack speed as very slow, slow  in the weapons we could refer it by numbers, just like IAS +1 , so we can count total Attack speed of the character by referring to the number. the total he has from weapon, mount and armor. same way, for the spell casting speed.

how long have you played? play longer. a lot of the classes have low element resistance....
keep playing and you'll find out that mage have pretty good skills against archer/warriors.

FA's are the imba of the game atm.

as for arrows not costing....your dura goes down when you use your bow.......staff dura does not go down when you cast skills.

also, regarding skill cast speed. Cooldown time already dictates that. and if i'm not mistaken, mages have relatively low cooldown times for a lot of their skills.. i'll have to confirm that though.

yeah dude archers are a dominating force in the game but they are definitely not the strongest. A lvl 60 fire mage with the skill mana mage...a 1 hit K-O.

And any archer who is not experienced in pvp can get owned by a warrior or even a healer.

Mages are strong itself, sorry, but they are expensive to ride. i played as a mage, i cant save gold, spending all on Mp and Hp.

thats the con

What ever skill on any class costs mana potions,  Mages as everyone knows before they choose that class use mainly  Skills to level up so unless your a complete novice at mages, its already known its going to cost alot to play that char,

Spell casting speed is not referring to cooldown time, the spell time to reach the target is shortened. am i right???

rodzi

spell casting speed is to reduce cooldown time

dude just use mp regen gears and dont level with all your skills in bar, only use a few, then regen should keep up. Mage on BC2 is 104 and didnt use many potios, just has good balance between manna regen and usage, also was helped by 2 healer, but you get that

more i played with mage , it is powerful than i thought, initial struggle to lvl up is balanced later, it lvl up faster as it grows.
