If rogues and warriors can leap all the way down the hallway and kill me with one hit, as a sorcerer I really have no way to fight back against that. Melee hits are supposed to be close range attacks. They should not have the range of an actual ranged attack like a bow or gun.

i second that

There is NO way to escape rogues and warriors for a mage. I even tried to put my passives into run speed up to the whole 5%. Still those leaping skills allow dudes to reach/kill me

Sometimes i have the chance with 'push proc' of my gun, but it happens too rare

As Energizerec says melee should stay melee

Or make fireball follow the target even when running from it. Coz if i stop and turn to stun them i lose my distance and die. By the way - speaking of fireball - charged one DOES NOT stun 100% times

i'm not rambling about OP - i still find ways to slowly raise my k/d ratio (now it's 1.3/2) but i want to say that it's impossible to fight 1-1 with other classes for mage

Yes, fireball works very well as a stun. If I can land the fireball before you hit me, then I have a fair chance at winning the battle. The problem is that your aimed shot has a longer range than my fireball. Also, your big leap allows you to jump over my fireball. So if we both release at the same time, you hit and I miss. I basically have to hit you 4-5 times and avoid getting hit at all, in order to win.

Yes, problem is that sorcerer skills do NOT work like that, at least not fireball or frost. Lightning seems to come from the sky, so as long as you are within range (12m), it will hit even if you are around a corner.

Isn't it all about using corners right now?

Using the glitch(?) to hit targets round the corner if you release the skill before they haste around got me the most kills. I always try to use corners for my advantage. Took me a while to master it and I'm still not timing perfectly every time, but that's a huge advantage to those who don't care about.

Slowly I start to realize how weak a sorc is. It's hard to keep a decent k/d ratio of 1/1 for me. Practice practice practice

I don't see any team stats on the leaderboards, only solo stats. Also, when I look at the stats on my inspect page, I don't see any team stats either, just solo stats. So unless they are going to keep track of team stats and give out banners and rewards for that, then it isn't a team sport, and is just a solo sport.

Frost still broken, Time is better but it still doesn't work 100%. Many times mobs still move through it, or out of it (even if they are being hit with damage, so I know it was fully charged). Many times I'll see 3 out of the group get stuck while the rest moves on out...
