Yea the range is pretty bad right now. But considering all the bolt spells suck something nasty right now theres no point in even caring. My advice? Pump end if you havn't been spliting 50/50 already and run into a mob using AoE spells. So much for ranged high damage mages.... -------------------- The patch is coming, soon, veryy soon, no really. it is. |

This is my one complaint about this patch, I've found that I don't really mind the damage nerf THAT much, but now I need to manually position my character within range of an enemy, or otherwise he'll happily stand back and hurl bolts impotently. At least change the range calculations in the pathfinding routine to match up with the new projectile ranges! |

Calm down guys, The game is still in development and thus still undergoing many changes to balance things out. |

It's an online game, it will always be in development. |

Have you guys thought that maybe you are not supposed to run into a group and aoe tank with cloth on? Mage armor has run speed bonus's on it for a reason. If you are going to play a mage use your head a little and be a bit more creative. And I for one like the range change, I am a lot less likley to pull more groups then I need to now. What I don't like is not being able to cast certian spells while running, and wasting cooldowns when I get interrupted while casting. |

use head lol? The best way for a mage is running into a big group and blast them. but in order to do this you need a solid build  -------------------- Sorry for my English, I am French |

Quote: Ah yes, methinks you are on the right track Grasshoppa. If you watch the mob behavior closely it is very consistent. It is possible to "circle strafe" with shadow lightning and take almost no melee or ranged damage. I do this all the time in Shadow's Embrace and most often in Fade Caves where the open spaces make the technique easier. There is a side to side strafe that I use too with Shadow lightning that is very helpful in disrupting the ranged mobs AI and keeps them from forming the "kung fu circle" where they are all hitting you at once. This is not the place you want to be if you like living. So RUN MAGE RUN! -------------------- ------------------------------------------------- MamaAnarchia Level 100 Genius Arch Arcane Mage Parkaboy Level 53 Athletic Seasoned Poison Ranger CaycePollard (50) BooneChu (8) Retired. |

I most definitely agree with Ibalaki. The build's the thing! |
