Good day STS, I have a suggestion, to address the squishy issues of mages.
I have never played an mmo where the mage has >= armor than the tank or rogue. Fyi, mages have about equal hp to rogues
Replace the knock back upgrade of arcane shield (which no one uses), to reduce cooldown to 15 seconds upgrade.
That way, there is less gap for us being unprotected.
So, you want to have the survivabilty of a tank, without any vulnerabilities? I say "less", and not "no gap" is because the arcane shield's 15 seconds duration (assuming you got the longer duration upgrade), rarely lasts the whole 15 seconds. In normal Shuyal/Tindirin, In elites, in PvP, shield maybe lasts at most 8-10 seconds when mages get the aggro of mobs.
Well, the shield absorbs damage, not repels it, so of course it has to be broken. Scorch's shield is the same, it doesnt last for 8 seconds in combat..
When I recently did elite oltgar, you know the area wherein there's a long run towards the boss? I had to run there alone because i died on the boss area, the shield lasted only 2 seconds i think after the 2 seconds of invulnerability, and I died. Sad to say that I never made it to the boss area back again because I cant do it on my own. I just left the map. sigh.
Play with a team, or buy good gear
Warriors have their permanent health and armor, rogues have their permanent dodge and armor, so at least give mages better protection pls.
Ok. Lets look at this from the pvp perspective.
-Warriors have their permanent hp, armor - THEY DO LOWER DAMAGE - huge tradeoff
-Rogues have dodge and armor - armor? Just 300 more armor. Dodge? Dodge is USELESS in pvp, it does practically NOTHING.
-And whilst mages may have the lowest armor, they have the highest dmg! You want mages to have the best damage, stuns and many more abilities WITH the same armor as warriors? Get real, it's not going to happen.
Rogues, unlike the other two classes has no survivability buffing skill, pretty much. They are vulnerable to 3-4 hits ALL THE TIME, whereas mages are vulnerable to 3 hits, every 15 seconds? Hah!
