We Druids should get new items and reciepes!it's so bad,we never have a chance against a mage!:(
We need some more potions like fire,ice and so on!So we can make fire arrows or
new things like posion,that explode if u throw it one the ground and makes the
other player moveless!you know what i mean?
It would be quiet nice if u answer me!

Yeah! that's what i've been trying to say in that "2 shield mage" topic

Well then, why should the mage have an advantage?
What is the advantage of being a druid? No, the potions are not that economical advantage, as there are very many and smithing still pays better.

If a mage and a druid are both not "fighters" why would a mage who can hurl fireballs and lightning bolts lose to a druid opponent who has no special offensive abilities to help him in battle? That's generally speaking if the mage is skilled of course.

Druids can have a big influence...if they could work together....they can control the supply of mana and heal potions to slow down mages, and they are the only ones who can produce wind potions for arrows and affect archers. And if you're a good merchant you can make good money from selling potions or there wouldn't be so many people still making and selling them

First of all druids are not poor, at least I'm not

Moreover pls consider that this game is in developement (alpha phase !!).
The balance between the different character is not finished yet because there are still many other things that have to be implemented before.

Well actually I just wanted to point out that druids are no simple potion mixers. Druids are people that live with the nature. As masters of the natural world, they are able to control living creatures and the very forces of nature.
And no more comment from me now to this topic.

Yes,you're all right,but it's not very cool at the moment to be a druid,u know!
If the newbies were coming,they all wanna be mages!or people with a second char,u know!
So,mages have got cool stuff like magic wand and soon!and yes,druids live with the nature,
it's bad if u have to fight against big monsters(demon)and soon!i not even get the spider cave!that's bad!without some better things is the druid life not very popular and dangerous!

Morphina your a druid, and you say you cant fight demons. Then what are you doing there?
There are many mages that cant kill demons, because they cant block them. Many mages have to sacrifice all fighting skills to get the chance to kill a demon. When druids, dont have to have any mana at all and just some weapons to kill a demon.
+When Echnaton said that druid can control nature livings, im pretty sure he didnt mean demons

Most of the mages are weak, not easy to become a good blacksmith then (but possible) or any other job that gives a good profit. Druids can make potions, and sell them. Right now the price is quite low but im pretty sure it will get more expensive to buy potions later.

Everyting has a good and a bad side, dont complain.

"Im a mage... I'm sure I won't lose to a druid on 99% of the time... That's not because I use two shields... I don't. It's because my parry is all the way up to slashing weaPons.... They can get it to just as high... not mage's problem druids don't get it as high. Right?"

OOC:
I guess when we have some advantage, ppl complaine against it. But if we were to have no up side or down side, why should there been the choice you had to began with? We have our down sides just as you do...

Humm,i have an idea,but its more gfx!i mean,to be a mage is cool,to be a druid,too,but too much work!and i dunno about that with the parry!its cause,u can choose what u wanna be,u choose ur abilitys at beginning!there u do things,that will be important for game!u do the fighting things high,ur a good parry and slashing!u do intelligents,willpower high,ur mage!but i dunno whats for druid :cheesy:

He guys im a Druid and i could never
win a battle vs. Mages i thought i could make
some money whit potions....but i havent found
sombody that want to buy my them yet!

I mean there should be really potions that
only can be used by Druids and make damage
Such things like a Molotov Coctail!

personally I think that if parry was replaced with different skills later it might help as long as they were VERY hard to raise it would be like dodging parry and all sorts of things *grins* yes i am full of dumb ideas...

Druids are those of nature.

All through history druids ave"defended" the natural ways. There are stories of some being quite agressive.
If you are a druid and your complaining about aveing a chance against a mage the solution is easy.

A mage is a mage because they have mastered the art of MAGIC
If you want to beat a mage don't use Magicagainst him for christ sakes.
Try becoming a better warrior or a good archer.. or simply have some good mage friends.
If your a druid and all about battle than there are ways however if ever class was equal what would be the point?

However I would suggest a mana draining potion perhaps. From my opinion druids magic may not effect some directy.. but if used "with" the body such as the mana and healing potions and such now.. that perhaps more potions that use the body. Maybe even a slow potion "glue"

Basically if you want to fight fire with fir you have to be the better flame.. if not find some water

Tell you what, there is NO avantge in combat for mages. An you only get your fighting skills as high as terri with powergaming. With my pure fighter char (with top fighting attributes) it is still impossible to maximize the fighting skills, because i only fight against monsters, an i DON'T powergame-train with other players. But that does not make me poor - if someone uses two shields, i take a big two handed weapon, and cut off his head.
