Oooooh, yeah.

You mean the stupid ones, right?

He has the ability to teleport away from people, cast a heal on himself and then cast a large field spell that can drain 25-50% of someone's health away. It is because of the simple fact that magic is a much more powerful form of combat then regular fighting that magic should be really difficult (and yes close to impossible) to master and be very strong at.

I do not think we want as many powerful mages around as we have powerful fighters.

As well having a manastone at every cross point is all over the place. A mage can linger just outside trolls bane casting spells on one of his friends perhaps and then go back to the cross to regain the mana lost.

Or that mage could go into the graveyard/old temple and regain the mana at the cross in trolls bane once they are done. It is still a much faster way for a mage to gain skill then it is now.

And to have a final statement you said:

"And I'm not talking about infinitif mana, but a boosted mana regain, oh and please anyone who hasn't ever played a mage char nor has any idea about the system itself..please be quiete yes, obviously you have no idea how things work out . "

By your logic no one who is a tailor should comment on how tailoring works, likewise with fishing, carpentry, blacksmith etc. And that is a ridiculous form of logic, if applied in the real world we would find that only people who have worked as police officiers should decide how police officers should act and well you can see where that would go.

We all play this game, when a skill is effected it effects the entire game and inturn the players. We all have the right to voice our opinions on every issue concerning this game. You shouldn't try and stiffle that because you don't like what you are hearing.
Nalc has at least 80% skill in every magic skill. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a warrior with 80% archery, dodge and parry could easily own TB until some mage or an other good archer arrives, too. And the fact that it needed two mages to kill Nalc shows, that it's not the overpowered magic, but his overpowered Skill.

+ it needed me with dual exellent maces mashing his back.

Magic is absolutely weak at anything below green skill(And this does not only apply for my battle mage.) Fighting, a strong fighter can still pwn a strong mage IF he gets close, which is unlikely yes.

A weak fighter totally pwns a weak mage
A weak fighter pwns an average mage
An uber mage with uber attributes and enough skill(which gains a lot slower with magic) pwns whomever attacks *hint* alone. *hint*
If you play your game right 2 or 3 average fighters can pwn an uber mage.

Cormwell for president, he is right.

No way does Nalc have 80 commotio, decisio, transfreto, transformo, library reserach or magic resistance.

On another note: Two under average mages to take down an over average one, yeah. Once you can paralyse decently any mage can take down any other mage as long as you get the first strike.

Magic is weak until you have decent skills, they are all right.
The fact is, that Nalc has magic since more than 16 months and he also wears perfect equipment.
And for a very good fighter it is still very easy to take him down, Dominic needed 3 or 4 hits.
But...this dicussion isnt about my skills :wink:
