Mage vs Melee/Archer

[NoThnx]

Ok..everyone complains about balance..? Personally im an Archer n i think its insane how difficult it is to kill a mage of any respectable level/skill...

Is it because of damage difference? Yes to an extent..
How do i think it could be solved?

1. Stop upping the AL on armor..why? because its reducing the damage that Archers/Melees do to mages!! AL on armor doest not help an archer/melee at all in a fight vs a magic user!!

2. possible solution...When ever u people decide to up the AL on armor Respectivly up the % bonus to wards..

-----------------------------------------

FC/Hold casting

Yea i understand it takes skill to do..ive played a mage before..but some people exploit this to much...and there is no coorolating exploit for non mages..should be either A. Removed or B. Soem of its effectiveness reduced...(ex. reducing how fast someone can FC or how long someone can Hold)

It is not hard to kill people on an archer at all...You must really suck lol

[NoThnx]

LOL i can kill people on an archer..just saying comparativly if you had a skill chart of 1-10 a mage with a skill of 8 and an archer with a skill of 8 the mage has the advantage over the archer >.< Especially if the mage is wearing al 450+ tinked armor..

Armor relavence.. higher AL reduces a larger % physical damage than..Wards reduce magic damage

im an archer and i think it is pretty balanced.

You have to be joking, I mean I play a mage. Lets look at this in steps : 450 base al armor....very few people have this, most has 400-420.

I actually have very good armor close to that and archers still hit for 50 a shot no matter what...

They shoot fast now, they run in circles and don't have to even be close to hit you, they dodge a war then shoot, very simple task.

They ought not to hit for 50 a hit IMO, but hey I don't make posts about it.

DW lets see...50 a hit...u can dodge also..u can get hit several times cast a spell (never leaving combat mode) hrmm not hard to heal and keep firing vs an archer?
