Mages are not your slaves...

[Anipeuecil]

Just finished a run in the sewers in disgust as once again some jerk made comments about how the Mage in the run (Me) was not doing her job.

Anyone else fed up with those who die a lot getting mad because they are not being revived fast enough? Don't they get that while we revive them we are open to getting killed more easily?

Sorry for the rant but it is getting irritating when other players are so narrow in their thinking.

[Pandamoni]

REZ! HEAL!

;) Yes, it is common, unfortunately. Rez!!!!!!

[Ayrilana]

Really annoying when someone separates from the group, dies, and demands to be rez'd right away. Like I really want to waste time trying to figure out which corner they decided to go die in.

[shmoo]

No more posting, Rez me pls! :P

Yeah I hear these a lot from my mage friends, so when I ask for a Rez, I ask if they want a cookie... XD

[Zipponator]

I was doing runs a day back and there was this guy that died about every 30 seconds. Every time he died he would say " hurry up and rev me now Mage!" after the third rev, when he died again I walked over to him and started using dance emote ontop of him....... I was booted :(

[gnardog666]

my mage alt is my new main but i hate when ppl do tht. if you play your part you wouldnt die as much and you wouldnt complian as much. we mages do what we can when we can best we can........cant be everywhere all at once......we do our best

[Riccits]

lol!!!!!!!

[cynic]

i get pretty sick too!
rez, heal. .....
i always tell them its my job as a mage (pally) so I KNOW

[wvhills]

My mage is only lvl 30 and I play mostly in swamps. I actually prefer it when someone says "res" or "help" or something when they're dead. I think it's because the "floor" of the swamps is green but I have a hard time seeing where the dead people are with a ton of mobs around and the fireworks of combos going off. I can see from the exclamation mark that someone is dead but I have a hard time finding them...But no one dies in my group as long as they stay close to me because i keep everyone buffed and spam heals while nuking everything in sight!

[kamikazees]

Have fun and make some memories. This will not be the case when you get to Balefort Sewers, where everyone not wearing bear armor can be killed in 1 or 2 hits. Cooperation, timing and awareness are so important there. That is why it's so hard with PUGs, where you get people acting like cowboys who do not pay attention to what is going on and do not know how to use their skills. Then they get mad at you for "not keeping them alive."

I know this is a rant thread, but honestly I've not run into a lot of people who complain in BS. There are a few exceptions, but most people know if you stand on a grate you're gonna be toast. When I complain, it's usually because people over-aggro by going the wrong way, realizing it, and then bringing mobs back with them. Then we end up in the center of a Pocket Legends sandwich. Yum! I try to keep my complaint short with something like "bird!" unless they respond with "what?" in which case I tell them.

[wvhills]

I've got higher level characters so I know all about firegrates unfortunately. My bird is strangely attracted to them. Haha.
My mage has been lvl 30 for a while. I've got the xp gain off so I can get lower level drops. :)

[KaotiicxDream]

Delete this thread fast!! My slavechantress may not read it !! Then she will kill me =/

DELETE!!!!

It's really not a bad idea as long as it's not done in an obnoxious way....Rez me you noob!

amen!!! Sooooo annoying.

[Echelong]

Players need to learn how to keep themselves alive that is why STS created health potions. Depending on a mage to keep you alive is a very lazy way of playing the game. That is one of the reasons I am not doing anymore pugs. On our groups we don't harass the mages.

Worst is when the only mage on the group dies and demands the other players to rev him (2 bears and a bird) then he leaves the game lol.

[superss]

i get tired of it too... one time i was doing a forest have place with my lvl. 50 (i was farming and joined a game) a level 2 was in and in like 2 seconds died yelling RES ALREADY!!! so i revived him and i continued... 2 seconds later same thing... he booted my because with gcd i couldnt launch res as soon as he died. lol what a noob

[Anipeuecil]

Best one yet....I was told to revive someone faster.... and it was in the middle of a huge mob scene!

[TheFlyingPig]

Maybe we should all change our names to include IDontRez prefix.

[Fyrce]

I think we see this complaint periodically. It's hard to not feel like a slave when doing many runs.

I like people to at least say "rez". Also for location purposes. However, if you are not even in the same room as me....

Boot me if you like, but I'm going to be keeping the group safe first.

I think there were/are postings about behavior of classes, including non-healers staying or running TOWARD healers to at least get in the heal radius. Same with people staying near bears so the bear can pull the mob, etc. I think I usually end up standing right with the group.

Well, unless the group is on a grate. In which case, I'll be in the corner :P

[joseraph]

I agree. some other mage kept dying every 3 seconds and my mage jackienial kept dying reviving her. :-( :-P

[joseraph]

Some lvl 32 mage kept dying and i kept dying(rey!!! *kills zombie*) reviving (get outta here! *kills skeleton*) her.

[KaotiicxDream]

I always wait till a mob scene is done .. And if the mage doesn't revive me after mob scene I leave! Hehe ^^

[wvhills]

I'd revive you if I saw you kao!!!

[StompArtist]

Just get back at them by spamming:

"taunt" and "root"

[karmakali]

My new response has been "If I am not reving fast enough for you, please die closer."
This usually breaks the tension and lightens up the demands.
Ever notice that if you kill the King first in Stronghold that the last thing he says is "Rez me!"? Even the Queen gets this demand.....:(

[Pandamoni]

LMAO ROFL, next time check to see who's room it is before you do your dance; then dance

[Swimmingstar]

Agh REV! REZ! HEAL! NOW!

[NeoQueen]

What I hate the most is when all the mages die, so I respawn. As I'm walking back to the group they start asking for rez's.

I just want to yell "turn ur bleepin map on! Does it look like I'm in the same room as u?!"

But I try to be nice so I ask them to wait.

[Fyrce]

LOL. I'm noticing if I'm the only mage and there's going to be a group wipe and I'm dead, that this game is now kinda of expensive :P as I'll spend a plat to revive myself so I can get the rest of the group. Oh well...

Most people are still nice. I like the "die closer" comment though. Fun-Neee!

[Sky../]

Pfftt karmakali doesn't ask me to die closer, rather she asks if i'm playinh hide and seek with her. :p

I hate it when, if someone dies in my group, i make the effort to run back, even if its far ( Provided he's closer to me than the entrance) and the group doesn't bother waiting ang going on.

Also happens if i die as the only mage, and they don't wait for me.

[choco]

as a bear...im just grateful if a mage takes the time. i figure i will do my best to keep everyone alive....and if they appreciate what i do for the group, i dont have to ask for a rez or heal. ;)

[Zenvo]

Oh, just made an Enchantress, will get my heal up to 6 ASAP for everyone. :)

[WhoIsThis]

It's part of the job of being a mage. If someone dies, sometimes, you're going to have to walk.

That said, if you are the only mage and the rest of the team gives you a hard time, just leave. Tell them why you are leaving if you want. Find a group that treats you better. Add the people that are capable and nice to your friends list.

[NECROREAPER]

I hate it when people harass mages, but I also hate it when they don't do their job.

If I'm trying my best you keep you alive by keeping the mob off of you, you should be doing your best to keep me alive.

(I'm a bear)

**No trolling intended**

[karmakali]

Tip of the day- if a mage you are playing with isn't performing as he/she should, send a quick and friendly PRIVATE message. This applies to all character groups really. You would be amazed at the response. People appreciate that courtesy and usually give you better results.
@ sky....if you prefer we can play Marco Polo ;)

[Sky../]

But that requires a pool, no?

[Pandamoni]

LOL. I'm noticing if I'm the only mage and there's going to be a group wipe and I'm dead, that this game is now kinda of expensive :P as I'll spend a plat to revive myself so I can get the rest of the group. Oh well...


You're nicer than me. I don't spend plat on resurrecting. I'll revive and run back but there are better things I can spend my money on. I've only been told once to spend plat to respawn and I was a little shocked. I would never deign to tell someone how to spend their money and that's basically what you're doing if you harrass someone to spend plat to revive.

Lol i died in catacombs last night and was waiting for the other mage to rev me. 15 secs passed, 2 bird teammates came back and repeatedly yelled "rev here" "come back" and still no mage. After a total of maybe 30-40 secs there lying down, i just ressurected myself and run towards the group. The other guys was just on his way back to me. Lol. I so wanyed to say "don't need you anymore. BOOT!" but i just said thanks (refering to the 2 guys that came back and stood next to me while waiting)

[WILLIAM cmy]

If their are noobs died near fire grates, I usually rez them with careful timing that by the time they get up, they will get the 'boom' and go sleeping again. Usually 2-3 times, they know they better 're-spawn' and start walking! LOL.

Good to give noobs some lessons~

This is the best way to deal with it. I had guy once in Hideout PM me during a run asking me to please stop using firestorm because it "broke" his combos. I said no but offered to leave instead of being booted. He said nah. Issue resolved with no hurt feelings. Very civil and it ended up being a good run.

[Fyrce]

Wow, Panda, if someone told me how to spend my plat, I'd be mad.
Luckily I haven't had anyone really order my mage around. But then the players I've been finding recently have all been really sweet: Everyone waits for each other, etc.

And as I've been playing in PUGs recently... I still say: people in PL are really nice.

[neko]

And as I've been playing in PUGs recently... I still say: people in PL are really nice.

[bronislav84]

Really annoying when someone separates from the group, dies, and demands to be rez'd right away. Like I really want to waste time trying to figure out which corner they decided to go die in.I always tell people if they want heal or res they need to stay with the party, because I go with the "split" that has more people. Not with me, I'm not responsible for you because I'm not spending 10 minutes running around looking for you while letting others possibly die.
I was doing runs a day back and there was this guy that died about every 30 seconds. Every time he died he would say " hurry up and rev me now Mage!" after the third rev, when he died again I walked over to him and started using dance emote ontop of him....... I was booted :(You were right, he was wrong. Period. :)
i get pretty sick too!
rez, heal. .....
i always tell them its my job as a mage (pally) so I KNOWThe most annoying is when another mage who separated from the group and died does it. I grit my teeth IRL and tell them that I don't know where they died, and how they'd feel having to res a lost straggler. Gets the point across usually.




BTW I don't know anybody in my friends list who's used the 1 plat res in a party with me unless I was on a death run. People I play with know how I play. :) They always stay silent while we clear around them because asking for res in a fight is sometimes along to be killed again.

[IStrobe]

I feel your pain.... Except I run into the middle of the mob and kill everything and grind in any dungeon.. But I don't like impatient people

[Tengotengo]

I haven't played my mage in a while, but I miss being the one to make sure people are upright and at good health. It's the job of the mage to do this. Sure. there's HP potions and whatnot, but revving and healing huge amounts of HP are the thing that mages do that other cannot. Birds ruin a targets ability to withstand damage, bears can toss around targets like ragdolls, and mages bring people to life. All the classes has their ways of dealing with bosses and trash mobs, but when it's the only thing you NEED to be able to do, do it right.

AKA: always be spamming heal, and always rev. If your group is slowing down, someone's not doing their job correctly, and it's most likely a mage. There's usually more than one mage, which means nobody should be down on HP for long.....which makes me very angry when I'm on my bird, in full SK (85 armor), and I don't' get heals from either of the two mages because they're playing tank or archer roles.

I'm tired of having to switch into Drainers to survive when there's 2 mages in the group. IMO the group gets what it deserves when my damage output goes from 90% damage on mob groups to 20% or so, just so I can live to see the boss. Sometimes it gets so bad that I switch to a dagger to keep what little aggro I should be getting off of me and onto the non-mages.

When next in that situation, ask yourself why, especially if you're in a group with multiple mages, why there's any deaths to begin with?

[Anonyy]

people should stay close to each other instead of disappearing out of view. but i am with the mages i get fed of those; especially when they are high level always dying. i just wonder if some of them dont use their own pots just to get free rev's in the game.

[Register]

i was playing sandstone caves with a level 55 or 56 i cant member, a level 38 mage, and me. We were on Sandstorm the boss when a little dust storm came in and everybody kinda backed into one of the corners with the orb. The dust thing killed everybody instantly except me lol. And i was the on with the least hp...So im just like f...cuz everything targets me. but my team isnt saying a thing so i wasnt focused on them. Then i rezd em :) and theyre like TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Register]

and this other time in the swamps i was with 2 other mages and they both die at the same time lol...
The entire mob targets me and before i could even put my finger down to spam pots while my rez cools down i was dead.
When I die like that....I...I...I GO NUCLEAR

[Pumpkin]

There is one particular player (name begins with a C) that had a rant at me because he died right near the ent of Stronghold after getting blown back by the firepit, so *naturally* I assumed he'd respawn being so close to ent, but nooooo he ranted firstly at all of us for not sticking closer to him, then at me for not running back to rez him. And then, just in case I didn't get the message the first time, he did it all over again, so I said, you know what?.......Play by yourself. Just like you would to the bully in the sandpit. And since then I have avoided any game with that particular player in. I have even apologised to a group when I've joined but I just will not play with someone that ignorant. For every PL jerk, there are 10 really great people and great players out there, and I have some wonderful PL friends. That's the message I take with me :)

Oooh Ooh!!! I know the answer!!! Two words: fire traps

[SUPAPRODIGY]

yes i have a level 55 paladin and i hardly die and people are like hurry up u noob anad do ur job so i dont even bother reviving them be a jerk i will kindy be a jerk back

[csb]

My mage is only lvl 30 and I play mostly in swamps. I actually prefer it when someone says "res" or "help" or something when they're dead.

I can see from the exclamation mark that someone is dead but I have a hard time finding them...But no one dies in my group as long as they stay close to me because i keep everyone buffed and spam heals while nuking everything in sight!

Ok, i will make a "rez plz" button. My bear usually waits quietly as long as it takes.

When I play my enchanter, i leave the map up so I can see the little triangles of party members. If someone dies I look for a triangle that's not moving. Sometimes it takes a while to find the body. Some dead mobs look *exacly* like dead party members. And, I hate when the body is on a fire trap in the sewers. Rev... dies again... rev...

I don't really like the mother hen part of being a mage. Constantly watching to make sure all the little chicks are safe is not my thing, but I do what i can. I rather kill stuff :-)

[[Lt] Shiny]

This is why we Avians just stick to being birds (with Restore just to heal us) :/

[csb]

Shiny;300903']This is why we Avians just stick to being birds (with Restore just to heal us) :/

The only reason that I started playing a mage was to better understand mages. As a bear, I wanted to know what to expect from a mage. Until I started playing a mage, I didn't realize i had to be WITHIN 8M of the mage to get healed.

Mages only get two heal spells. One heal spell, "Blessing of Vitality", only heals 2 H/s. As a bear, i though i was getting this great regen buff from a mage. But, it's like nothing at all for high level characters.

The main heal spell is only 80-160 health, and you probably have around 600 HP. With a 3 second cool down, it will take a while to do a full heal.

So, don't expect too much, don't rush into a room too quickly, and put on that +H/s gear. The mage can't save you as easily as you think.

[Fyrce]

Um, my main heal spell is 117-237 and I'm only level 51 and I have some STR points.

As for fire traps, just because a mage revs, doesn't mean you can't time the fire trap yourself...

I don't remember the last time my mage got yelled at, so to help your playing experience, it's VERY important to avoid the jerk players when you find them.

[Raulur]

On the flip side, birds don't really like being ordered around by paladins when we are the ones doing all of the damage and taking all of the aggro. There are jerk players of all types, just bail on them and *maybe* they will get the hint.

[Shanda Renee]

people should stay close to each other instead of disappearing out of view. but i am with the mages i get fed of those; especially when they are high level always dying. i just wonder if some of them dont use their own pots just to get free rev's in the game.

As a mage who prefers the support role very much, this is my only pet peeve.
I very rarely become annoyed with another player unless its one who refuses to stick with the group.
And if you are not a Bear or Paladin you should NOT be running ahead of anyone else into a group of shadows...

[csb]

Um, my main heal spell is 117-237 and I'm only level 51 and I have some STR points.

The spell description says 80-160. I guess a little is added for level or stats. My point is that PL is not like other games where the mage gets a bunch of heal spells like "group complete heal", or a fast group regen like +32H/s.

[Tamino]

The major amount of healing comes from INT stats: mine are 119-242 with 246 INT. For a good balance of offence/defence IMHO the better PL team is composed by two mages, two birds and one bear. With two mages the healing section is enough for all situations.

[csb]

When I play I'm constantly healing, even if the group doesn't need it, just to make healing a habit. I stay near the tank, but often I see that some members are consistently running around with damage and not getting healed. Maybe they lag too far behind the group, or chase a critter away from the group. I guess it is probably these people that wonder why they don't get healed. I will not leave the group to go heal someone.

When I play my bird, I stay near the mage. When I play my bear, I try to stay ahead of the group, which is hard sometimes because it seems everyone wants to be first to rush into a room. I don't know why anyone would run ahead of the bear, unless it's due to lag. If the bear stop, my mage stops behind the bear; I don't try to do the bear's job (unless there is no bear in the group).

[Oakreter]

My main is a 55 tank, I have a host of mages on my friend list and have never asked to be revived...I do my job and they do theirs.This is for me the point, if you are of value to the team your mage will keep you alive when it all gets a bit too much. But it is also up to you to spam those health pots and do what you can to keep yourself in the game. If you have to ask, maybe your not worth reviving.

[CodyBearr]

I Heal Non-stop But The Whole Rez Thing Will Only Happen If I Am Able To At That Moment... In The Past I Would Just Go Rez As Soon As They Died And Then i Would Die With No One To Rez Me :-/... Now Im 55 And Been Playing Forever So I Put Myself First If They Already Died

[Orcish]

If they act like a prude then just tell 'em to spend the 1 plat and revive themselves... If they boot ya, no biggy deal, there's hundreds of games active at any givin moment, if they act like a punk, no big deal, just forget about it!

[Shanda Renee]

Ok, I lied. I have one other pet peeve, which I think has been mentioned before.
A lot of times I find myself being the only mage in the group.
And for some reason, baddies like elven sweetmeat no matter how far behind the tank I am.
So I die and then of course someone else dies because I am not there to heal them.
So they repeatedly asks for rev from the Overload's room while I am running back.
I politely let them know I died, respawned and running all the way back.
After the 5th time I inform them that they should turn the map on and turn their mouth off.

[mejslll]

switch to bears, and get some plat - then you dont have to worry about it


lol... i am always greatful for a revive... so thanks ahead of time to all the mages!!!

[Sharrn]

Everyone is so rude to mages in the sewer!!! I'm so freakin tired of those people I don't even go there anymore!!! Its tuff enuff being a mage without having to get chewed out because some fighter cant keep his sorry butt alive! We mages are glass cannons an do our best to survive while buffing,healing an laying the smack down! So the last thing we want to here is "RES" "HELP"...I'll get to you when I can... lolz

[Azesche]

While "dumb" birds and bears do tick me off in a "/sigh there they go again" kind of way I would say other mages are worse. Bears and birds wander off REALLY far and overpull to boot before realizing they are alone....can get old but what can you do?

Mages on the other hand that don't know how to play irritate to no end... they pull before the bear, die. They don't help heal, others die. They don't HEAL THEMSELVES (lol), die. While I'm sitting spamming debuffs and heals out the yingyang trying to keep them alive, pull hate, die....and watch their HP bar empty and, wait for it, REV ME MAGE. REV ME NOW. REV????

/facepalm

[Josephjackson]

Apparently this is a rant section.... I have a 55bird and bear.. Mage will be there anyday... Each character has its role and you cannot be a powerful player without realizing it.... the best mages heal very often... And I could write a lot... But good work all.. its a team game - Lets enjoy that aspect - know your role.

[NECROREAPER]

JJ!!! good to see you on the forums!!!

I know you like bears better :D

[Josephjackson]

Lol.... The durability of bears is awesome.. I love pulling a massive mob and then taunting in it =).... They just need more area affect attacks

[Dirtymonkey_666]

wow. actually i hate other mages that don't heal or revive, it's what mages are for, if you don't like people asking you to heal them, then why be a mage? i'm a mage because i don't want people in m team to die.

There's more to being a mage than healing. They deal a ton of damage, and unlike other games, the role of healer and nuker is combined in this game.

This is Balefort Sewers, I agree.

[Gluttony]

Mages are slaves, but so are bears, and while we're at it birds too. Mages heal, that's what they do. Heal has a fast recharge rate and if timed properly can allow every player to not have to worry about using pots and just focus on the attack. Bears tank, that's what they do. They're supposed to take aggro with their massive amounts of hp and keep the other members in the party from having to run around like an avian with it's head cut off. Birds damage, that's what they do. Use your skills, use your combos and kill bosses! If everyone plays their roles then the team functions as a unit, but if one member doesn't pull their weight you end up with birds taking aggro and dying, then mages take aggro and die, now no one can revive and you have to quit or respawn from the beginning. Fact is everyone is a slave to their role and the rest of the party places blame where they feel the group is lacking, sorry mages we can't win if we're all dead.

Being new to PL I picked the mage as my first char cause I've always loved being a magical being in every form of RPG I've ever played. :) Not knowing about the whole 'you have a role so play it' aspect of PL I pumped up my bearlike stats and played my char as aggressively as I could without any thought to what was expected by the other players. Then I started to run into the expectations and thus discovered that I had the ability to rez/buff others. I used it to the best of my abilities, to the detriment of my char's life many times, and then discovered that many bear players, and coincidentalmage players, were way too demanding on being rezed right now! Regardless of the fact that I might be taking on a mob by myself all of a sudden. I'm now of the mind that I'll do my best to find someone to rez ONCE it is safe for me to do so. If they start spamming me then they are on their own and can respawn.

Also, I didn't start playing PL so I could run around and keep everyone alive. That's what health potions are for. If I have to constantly buy them and use them (sorry but it takes forever for the heal to regen compared to potion use) then sure as shyte birds and bears can do likewise. Am I off my rocker to think this way?

For those that say I should just play the bear then, I do have a bear but find him much too lame for my personality. My bird is almost as much fun as my mage so will probably get it up to lvl 56 once my mage is up there. JMHO.

[csb]

Um, my main heal spell is 117-237 and I'm only level 51 and I have some STR points.

I'm level 52. I just changed my stats from str/dex to int/dex. (Note: 67 dex in both cases) By changing to int instead of str, my healing went from 80-160 to 118-239. (also, fire/lighting damage is up)

Now my str 50 Hate set is in storage, and i'm wearing a cheap set of 51 Flusher's. I look like all the other cloned red sewer mages. I thought I would have a problem with dying easy, but that does not seem to be the case. I was trying to avoid the clone look, but I suppose I can get used to it.

[elianel]

lol

[Ishadowera]

I was doing runs a day back and there was this guy that died about every 30 seconds. Every time he died he would say " hurry up and rev me now Mage!" after the third rev, when he died again I walked over to him and started using dance emote ontop of him....... I was booted :(

Lmao too funny

[csb]

...when you get to Balefort Sewers, where everyone not wearing bear armor can be killed in 1 or 2 hits. Cooperation, timing and awareness are so important there. That is why it's so hard with PUGs, where you get people acting like cowboys who do not pay attention to what is going on and do not know how to use their skills. Then they get mad at you for "not keeping them alive."

Yesterday I was soloing with a locked instance in BS. A friend says, "pw plz". I thought about it, and didn't respond. Then I get another "pw plz". So, i figured, why not, gave the password, and let the bird in.

I'm half done with the maze, so he has a long way to run. He immediately rushes into a pack of mobs and dies instantly. I revive him, and he does the same, again. I revive, etc, about 5 times. Then, he says "omfg!" and tries one more time, dies, and exits. There was no way I could keep this guy alive, and he probably thought I was playing wrong.

I go back to pulling 1 or 2 at a time with my mage, and didn't die, not even once. I even soloed two mini bosses.

Is it so hard to think that there is maybe more than one strategy? The "rush in and blast away" strategy isn't the only way to play. And, is sometimes not possible if the group is weak.

I can look at a group and see that we need to pull a few out of a room first before rushing in. When I see it coming, I try not to die so I can revive the mess. But, whats worse than the failed attempt is that people are so quick to exit a game instead of trying again. I guess it's the mages fault, so they leave to look for a better mage.

[Arterra]

I see two extremes: people who want to just play as they want and people who want to play as a team. There is no right answer.

However, you have to admit that you can do a little bit of both. Healing and reving others is in your best interest, and keeps people happy. Yes they can use pots. BUT a Mage with high m/s can heal for no cost, so just do so. Also, you can't expect a Mage to be your guardian angel. Your own darn fault if you die, you should play according to your groups abilities.

[vulgarstrike]

I think reviving with the full ability to should be noted and used; I've seen a lot of mages just running around throwing spells with their group dead right next to them.

Of course, a Mage following common courtesy should heal whenever that button is available, as it should not effect mana or timing significantly.

[Yvonnel]

vulgar, that sig made me lol.

[Uepauke]

Revived this thread cuz, man, with the new maps (nuri), people's armors that served well in sewers are now just not strong enough and they're getting hit hard, especially at the boss. This is where pots are needed.

I was running in a pug with a bear that had NO pots (seriously) and was telling us to heal heal. I was hitting the heal button every time it came up green. Level 55+ should know that heal is not perpetual, it's like the other skills, there's a cooldown period during which HIT HEALTH POTS. To add insult to injury, said bear didn't hold agro anyway, so I was alternating heal with hitting my health pots while it was in cooldown to keep alive. Bears not being able to tank all the time I would not have minded, given the difficulties of holding agro with some of these new bosses (e.g. the lion sometimes ignores the bear and heads straight for the bird/mage), but this guy was telling us how to do our job while he wasn't able to do his. BTW thanks to the person that said I was doing a good job--appreciation not necessary but is nice when it happens.

Then there was the 59 bird that thought that, because I was buffing with rev (yes, rev buffs the team) and he was having to hit pots at the boss (he's a bird, he gets agro!), I wasn't hitting heal. BTW I have heal maxed and a decent mana regen.

I BLAME LEVEL 55+ CLUELESS ON ELIXIRS (definitely not all elixir users are noobs, but elixirs are allowing many to come up in the game without knowing how to play it or how the other classes work).

OK rant over, my friends rock :)

[Shellkaz]

Hi fairly new to the forums here but not to gaming. I've been playing RPGs since the 80s. Usually a cleric which is a lot like the Mage/enchantress. A more limited spell book and lower hp being the biggest commonalities. I've been on a couple of runs where the bird or bear actually asked us to wait while they bought POTS, and one bear who actually knew that rev had a hidden buff!!! Not because he was a bear but that he took the time to read up on what the skills of others could do. Of course he could have had a Mage as an alternate character..Idk

However all the above being said I spam the snot out of my heal and res. It's not my fault if ur not in range because u ran ahead of the party, or ran off in another direction. I'm not going risk the larger party for one body. I will try to find you once the killing is over. Im also going to stick with The largest group if it gets split up. So for the fighter types give ur Mage a chance to heal and buff you before running off to bleed some more. I don't even want to think about all the buffs I've wasted because the fighters ran off before I could get to them. <Sigh> Save the pots for when the mage cant get to u. Wait for the buffs to come up and if the Mage doesnt do it. Ask for them. And if it's a noob, Splain it to them nicely and directthem to forums there are some excellent posts here. We all had to learn. If he/she doesn't then find another Mage. I learned a LOT about being a spell slinger from my fighters ove 30 plus years of throwing dice. LOL.

As a fighter friend once told me in game, "YOU are a squishy you stay behind the big bad meat shield"

[KingFu]

Mages can revive themselves using resurrect at the the precise time you die. Happened to me in pvp

Know this post is old, but since it got necro'd I thought I'd reply. This used to be a bug way back when, was awesome in pve, especially in swamps when it was hardcore. Devs fixed this bug right before/along with the release of pvp. A Mage was most likely around that you didn't see:)

[Reggin]

As someone with a mage main, this whole thread infuriates me... Yes, if you aren't reviving quickly you are not doing your job!

Reviving someone doesn't make you more likely to die if you know how to play! First off, right after you auto, you should be casting non-stop.

Timing bov and mana shield are the only possible excuses, and even then, you should delay a max of one or two global cooldowns, which should be faster than they type rev.

Sorry for the drunken rant, but let me add something constructive technique wise. Never stand still as a mage. After you follow in the bear, start a small circular pattern while watching your life and party's life.

If you draw aggro, begin to widen the circle as much as possible and kite til the tank does it's job (to all the fail bears). As soon as someone dies, rev... Period... train yourself to know where skills are so you don't need to look at what skill you are using.

In a fight, if you only look at one thing, let it be the health bars... watch your movement with your peripherals.

So many people tell mages to just spam heal, and quite frankly, only low skill mages should do that. Heal when the tank is taking dmg or getting debuffed! Spam heal often results in healing people with full health and forcing you to lose valuable seconds!

[Reggin]

And don't forget the old mmo truth that is the same in every mmo ever...

If the healer dies it's the tanks fault!

If the tank dies it's the healers fault!

If the DPS die, it's their own damn fault!

That's for all the birds and mages who think dps is more important than healing!

[Neffy]

Haven't played as a mage yet. I'd love to get some input as to if it's worth making another character.

[Uepauke]

Reggin, you need to read the thread more. It isn't that mages don't want to rev or are taking their time. People are dying and then expecting the mage to be able to wade to them in the mob quickly and rev them. MANY times I've hit rev the moment I see that red exclamation mark only to see that it's someone that's wandered off to another mob before the team has finished killing one. I don't mind that, and I don't mind going over to them, but there are some who think we can magically teleport ourselves over and either leave before we get to them or abuse us as we're making our way over. Rev has a LIMITED RANGE.

Also, it's not just GCD that's causing the delay, it's the fact that the skills themselves take a while to regen after being hit--and heal is one. I think some people, according to this thread, think that heal and rev works like other games and is instantaneous and haswider range?

Then there are those who are lying there, not fighting and thus have all the time in the world to check, fail to register that the mage has died and has respawned and is walking back to the fight. Even worst, even when I message, "Respawned, walking back," they don't read the chat and get impatient. I have spent many a plat, real world money, to respawn on the spot so that I can rev the team, but I can't afford to do this all the time, so I sometimes respawn.

As for drawing aggro, yup, I kite and stay back, but the case above was a bear without any pots who was using that as an excuse for not taking aggro.

To be absolutely fair, yes, there are crap mages. I have on occasions whistled dixie while the other mage in the group carries on fighting and moves to the next mob. Luckily, someone in the team eventually tells them to rev me lol. Or that other mage dies... And, in my low level farming bird, I have stopped expecting mages to hit heal. One mage stood over the entire dead team and said, "Don't expect me to heal." Hey dude, didn't want you to heal, but a rev would have been nice. Wasn't that great a fighter either, the leech.

[Misdemeanour]

I was doing runs a day back and there was this guy that died about every 30 seconds. Every time he died he would say " hurry up and rev me now Mage!" after the third rev, when he died again I walked over to him and started using dance emote ontop of him....... I was booted :(



bahahahaha! Yup I've come across nasty people like that.

I got booted (with rude remarks) for not reviving fast enough; ignoring the fact that we have about 6 seconds (I think) reload time.

I've been booted for not reviving when I was dead on the floor. "why you no rev mage?"

Take a note of their name and don't play with them again

[Juvilee]

If they're being jerks, I'll puke on their dead body a little, then wait a while, then Maybe res.

I hate it when they all die on a boss fight..near the boss and they stay there waiting for you to walk all the way back, res them, then get killed by the boss.

[SeerQueen]

The thing about reviving is that you are super vulnerable while you're doing it. As a mage, I know this, because I have died plenty of times when I couldn't defend myself while reviving someone else. So if I die and there are other mages around, I wait till all the mobs are dead. Then they usually come over and rev. If they don't, the probably didn't notice, so I just say "Rev plz", not "HEY YOU GUYS REV ME ALREADY" like some birds/bears do. It would be much appreciated if everyone tried to wait patiently.

[Shellkaz]

Yes when you Rev, to the best of my knowledge you can't do anything while doing it. You know that wonderful Arms out and body not moving position that the mage gets when Reving, & healing? Yup it just says "Target HERE!" Trust me I know how to play a Spell slinger. Like I said I've been doing it for over 30 years. And yes if the tank dies, to a certain extent it IS my fault. Because my job is to watch out for the health of the party. However party members also have a responsibility to look out for themselves a bit and understand that Everything a mage does has a range limit and a cool-down time. If you die in the middle of a mob and I can't get to you. Please wait I will get to you as soon as I can. I have stood over the "Bodies" of party members and fought until Rev came back up. I have gone into some more complex dungeons, announced I was a Mage and to wait. I would Res as soon as I could find them. Then spent what seemed like ages soloing mobs to find them & res. Yeah I KNOW my job.

Also, if the mage is using Heal effectively The party should not have to rely on pots as often, and as mentioned before, Rev/res has a hidden buff. So yeah, I hit it and hit it often because at the end of the day Party health is the responsibility of the Mage.

And to every Bear or Bird who as ever thanked me for the Heal or Rev, Thank YOU for taking on the Mobs!!!!

[Navygreen]

Really annoying when someone separates from the group, dies, and demands to be rez'd right away. Like I really want to waste time trying to figure out which corner they decided to go die in.

lol thats so funny. yeah can get a little rough out there.

[XghostzX]

Definitely i think as a mage, you should be healing the group but no on a continuos spamming rate. Just ignore the players and things get much easier to run through :)

[Navygreen]

Just get back at them by spamming:

"taunt" and "root"

Not nice! lol

I only have 1 Char cuz I probably missed the boat when you could make 2 Chars. Very much prefer to have another Enchantress in the group beside myself so we could heal and rev ASAP, but lots of time, there are exceptions if someone decided to be gunho, space cowboy, Rambo, you name it....

And my fav chat is "Dun relay on our heal, pot too..." There's a reason why the game allows us to pick up pots as we grind.

[zeusabe]

I'm a mage, personally, I focus my healing/rez to the players who are good. If player 1 is good, 2 is alright, 3 is average, and 4 sucks , then it would take longer for me to rev player 4 unless mob clears 'cuz i'd rather want player 3 alive than 4. It's case to case basis, is the mob clear? what dungeon, shadow caves? where did you die, near entrance? judgement of mage players vary depending on their mood too. I assure everyone that all mage players know when they need to revive. Think about it this way, if a mage doesn't heal or revive you, it means you suck and you're not important to his survival, or you're a jerk and you've done something for him not to rev you. Generally speaking, mages will cling on other players who are good since if they die, they might die too. So when you go back in PL and die and a mage doesn't revive you right away, it probably means you're forgettable and his judgement says the team can proceed without you.

You just revved a thread that was death for over a month now.

[AtlantisHime]

The worse is when ppl ask for heal...spam some pots pls ppl!!!!!Especially in higher lvl maps..sheesh

[Southriver]

Just finished a run in the sewers in disgust as once again some jerk made comments about how the Mage in the run (Me) was not doing her job.

Anyone else fed up with those who die a lot getting mad because they are not being revived fast enough? Don't they get that while we revive them we are open to getting killed more easily?

Sorry for the rant but it is getting irritating when other players are so narrow in their thinking.


I know! Like they say "Heal faster you can cure the curse" "Hurry up and rev me already!"

[goddessofpower]

lol tell ur slavechantress that the forums is full of hackers that will hack u.

I would have chose a different emote....just sayin' to zipponator....tee heee heee!

[Burningdex]

have had many mages and i hate it when they yell

REZ me ur mage if im host id boot

[Mothwing]

I can understand how this gets annoying but one of our jobs is to keep the party healed/alive...that is unless youre a pally. When i start to get angry is when I die and respawn and the person lazy enough to just sit there demands for a rev. Most often times ill tell em to get off their lazy butt and respawn themselves...or i wont say anything and walk past their body. ;)

[Luniette]

Thought I'd finally post here after lurking for a while.

I've been playing the game up to level 29 on my Enchantress and a quick peek with a Bear up to level 12 or so. That is if the little tryouts right after the game was released don't count. Can't remember how much I played then, but most likely not past level 15, so I guess I'm what you would call a newbie.

With my enchantress I've invested on nukes and also maxed Heal for added survivability. Most of the time I can't find a team so I tend to solo places so I need that firepower. So far it hasn't been that difficult to clear out stuff, even though the big yetis prove a troublesome bunch, especially if there's more than one.

In teams if I know there's a capable tank I tend to not touch nukes unless I know I can deal with the whole bunch and I do keep healing people at decent rate. On the expense of DPS I've maxed my manaregen which I believe is now 14 and with that I can spam firestorm, lightning, the first ice spell whenever they come available and also spam heal whenever I see someone even getting hurt all the while keeping the 2 buff spells active. The only time I actually lose any MP is when I put up magic shield when entering dangerous fights.
I revive people whenever I see someone going down and don't think it's any trouble to do that. Haven't really had anyone complaining about revives, even though they've had to wait a few times for me to do the corpse run. Guess I've just been lucky.

What I noticed though with my bear is that some lower level enchantresses don't heal all that much. Pre level 12 I actually saw only one enchantress who took care of people. Every other enchantress (rarest of the 3 classes) didn't bother healing even after the fights when moving to another fight even though their mana bar was full and I had like 10% HP left. Didn't bother to complain about it as I thought they had made their decision of not healing at all. I did see them healing themselves so it wasn't a matter of them not having the heal spells.

[Jugernugett]

You good healers. Do your job and maybe people won't keep asking. And booting,unfortunately.

[Jugernugett]

Btw mages are our slaves

OMG, story of my life!!! [in alterra at least]
once on AO3, battling gurgox,there were 2 mage me and another one, and mages both died coz a bear and a bird robbed the orb from us, they stay alive, both mages have to respawn and we all know how far it is to walk from entrance,..when we were on our way, the bird died and he yell 'REV!!' grrr... I tried to be patient and come there, guess what that bird said when we rev him?? "NOOB HEALERS!!!" omg?! can u believe that? not even a THX so before next gurgox fart, I swept all the green orbs and when they died-as expected, and yell "REV!" I pm the other mage "LEAVE THEM!" and we fled...

Just reading that makes me angry. Gurgox is definetly a problem for mages. The other players always seem to get the orb youre going for. If theres a mage going for the same orb as you. LET HIM GET IT!!! Its like PL 101. Mages can rev you, bears cant.

A useful way of solving this though is calling out the orb you get, although some people dont stay with their orb xD

Is this what pl has come to? No! I will not let it! Something you all should know is that devs designed this game to be balanced! Birds mass loads of damage really low armor they should stay even with mages(unless str)! Bears! Tank tank tank! Learn to use pull and stomp to group the enemy making easy prey! Mages spam heal and buffs stay behind bears! Birds should stay in range of your heal but mages should always go last!
This being said the order goes str, DEX, int, bear, bird Mage, always! That's the order! Unless there is elixirs elixirs should usually go first^_^

[Cytokinesis]

Unless there is elixirs elixirs should usually go first^_^
Bears should, regardless if they are strbears, dexbears, or even intbears, bears can tank :D

Haha yeah, that is annoying. Guess some people have trouble playing as a team in this game-- but in all honesty, compared to other games like WoW or order and chaos, the gameplay in this is a lot more "kid friendly" and in my opinion easier to understand the physics. But that's just me.

[Taipan]

Has it ever happened to any Birds/bears that someone starts yelling "REV ME" at u? Lol

Everyone expects mages to be a tank and kill and revive and heal and be able to do all that every sec and if you dont do it they get mad well bad word them

[iLunacy]

My new response has been "If I am not reving fast enough for you, please die closer."
This usually breaks the tension and lightens up the demands.
Ever notice that if you kill the King first in Stronghold that the last thing he says is "Rez me!"? Even the Queen gets this demand.....:(

LOL. THIS. I will be using this.

[Bluepinixy]

Ive often noticed this when i play. When warriors or archers die, some of them are impatient and shout to mages: hurry up and revive me!! Well. If they say rev plz or just rev, thats fine, their not shouting at you or something. But, yeah mages arent slaves that revive you. But so far, i dont think ive encountered this problem. Because most ppl just tell me: revive plz. But if it does happen to me i shout at them: nah, i prefer you dead *uses puke emote, and pukes on face*

LMAO just had a weird yet annoying experience yesterday...was running on ao3, i was the only mage, then on boss me and a bird died...i respawned and walked back from entrance. While the bird yell 'REV!' And he kept yelling and also do the "????" i said 'in case u didnt notice, i died'
When i reved him, he didnt say thx....so i just said,..."you are very welcome!" Sarcastically,...
The other party member tell him, "she reved u, saying thx would be nice"
And guess what he said? "What?? Its not like anyone say thanks at me when i use my skills!!"
LOL
Grweaaat...so from now on, if ever i run with that bird again each time he screams, im gonna say "TY!" LMAO (^_^)
