Could have fooled me.

I have to agree, Mages really are **** to fight. Usually I heartstop in FFAs just to avoid fighting them, because I don't get enjoyment out of it as I would with another archetype.

Yes, because if you can't dominate someone they are not worth fighting to you. That may sound harsh, but that is my view on the subject when it comes to you.

I'm surprised nobody else caught this yet. My personal favorite part of the log:

Geb, all you'd need to do to kill him is whore up Hailstorm anyway.

And I know you don't just use damage.
I've fought you outside your damn demesne.

No, really. It's about their demesne, and how restrictive it is. I never feel like I'm able to control the direction of the fight. I used to duel Valek and lose, but I enjoyed that. Warriors and Guardians are fun to fight.
Thorgal2005-06-08 08:45:45
I don't mind fighting mages really, the only things I really hate is hunger and sleep, since they can't be cured and completely stomp me down, losing me a fight without anything to counter it.

And no, I'm not gonna run every 2 minutes to take a nap, or waste 20K gold on food for one spar.

So basically, what Geb said.

What does the druid twirl staff do? Our's breaks one limb
Gregori2005-06-08 12:34:00
Ours knocks projectiles out of the air. Now.. if only there was projectiles. Since the last time I asked concerning runes, they don't count as they do not actually harm you. Matter of opinion on that one I think.
Torak2005-06-08 12:55:13
I fail to see where he is whining..

Yes, that really is messed up. I think they should give you guys a different twirl ability. Perhaps take a page form druids in other realms, make your twirl knock a person prone. Imagine how good that would be along with a sap combo, when you are talking about faeling speeds?
Shiri2005-06-08 13:54:37
Twirl isn't eq?

But anyway, we (Hartstone and Moondancers, who had the same problem until Sylph got updated to awesome tree-and-sky-blastage) figured it should just be a % chance to dodge runes or something, maybe low like 20%, but no such luck. We got an upgrade, Hartstone didn't. :/
Geb2005-06-08 17:31:37
No, it is on balance.
Gregori2005-06-08 17:38:27
I can hear the screaming now if I could every 2.5 seconds knock my target prone.

That is not as bad as a person falling to sleep every few seconds, because of drowse tiring him or her. It is also not as bad as running out of food in a geo demesne. Considering that the previous effects are passive after the initial use or uses of the skills that cause them, I would say twirl knocking a person prone would not be any worse.
Thorgal2005-06-08 21:32:31
The fact that there are whorish skills, doesn't mean there have to come more..

Didn't you say if all abilities are overpowered, then we'd all be balanced?
Thorgal2005-06-08 21:44:39
Yes, but they aren't, and it obviously isn't going to happen either, so let's not make the most powerful archetype (mages/druids) even more powerful.
