Ok,
so I've spent the majority of my PL time playing my Bear, Gavry. Recently I levelled up my Mage, Bavian to 50th. I have a full Cosmos Set with Wand and Gurg eye and have been doing some maps recently with some good groups.
My observations so far; Mages SUCK in AO3. I die faster than a 30th level Bear. With full HPs and Shield up I can still die one-shotted. How the hell do you regular Mage players deal with it? I get so frustrated I quit playing my Mage in 10 minutes and go back to my bear.
What am I missing?
Are we just meant to die continually?
I just don't get it. I feel like I need to have an Armour pot going continually to just survive at all. It just feels so unbalanced as to be ludicrous.
One possible solution would be to change the Shield spell. Instead of it eating your Mana, which you desperately need just to function it should simply double, or triple your Hitpoints while it is active. That way you can keep spell-casting and possibly survive more than one hit/shot before biting the dust yet again. What do you think?
